10 Even I, as well as my brothers and my servants, have been lending them money and grain. Please, let us stop charging this interest.(a) 11 Return their fields, vineyards, olive groves, and houses to them immediately, along with the percentage(b) of the money, grain, new wine, and olive oil(A) that you have been assessing them.”
12 They responded: “We will return these things and require nothing more from them.(B) We will do as you say.”

So I summoned the priests and made everyone take an oath(C) to do this.
