Nehemiah
Nehemiah called them to stop charging interest and to restore what had been taken. He specifically ordered the return of fields, vineyards, olive orchards, houses, and the money, grain, wine, and oil that had been exacted Nehemiah 5:10–11.
10I likewise, my brothers and my servants, do lend them money and grain. Please let us leave off this usury.
11Please restore to them, even this day, their fields, their vineyards, their olive groves, and their houses, also the hundredth part of the money, and of the grain, the new wine, and the oil, that you exact of them.
