Nehemiah 5:8

5:8 I said to them, “To the extent possible we have bought back our fellow Jews ¹  who had been sold to the Gentiles. But now you yourselves want to sell your own countrymen, ²  so that we can then buy them back!” They were utterly silent, and could find nothing to say.

Nehemiah 9:8

9:8 When you perceived that his heart was faithful toward you, you established a ³  covenant with him to give his descendants ⁴  the land of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Jebusites, and the Girgashites. You have fulfilled your promise, ⁵  for you are righteous.
