雖然我們的身體與我們同胞的身體一樣，我們的兒女與他們的兒女也相同，可是我們卻要強迫自己的兒女去作僕婢，而且我們的女兒有些已經作了奴婢，我們卻無能為力，因為我們的田地和葡萄園已經屬於別人了。”

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Yet now our flesh is as the flesh of our brethren,.... We are of the same nature, nation, stock, and religion: our children as their children; are circumcised as they, and have a right to the same privileges in church and state:
and, lo, we bring into bondage our sons and daughters to be servants; shall be obliged to it, unless relieved:
and some of our daughters are brought into bondage already; sold to be servants, as they might in case of the poverty of parents, Exodus 21:7, and some were sometimes taken to be bondmen in payment of their parents' debts, 2 Kings 4:1
neither is it in our power to redeem them, for other men have our lands and vineyards; as pledges for money borrowed.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The power of a father to sell his daughter into slavery is expressly mentioned in the Law Exodus 21:7. The power to sell a son appears from this passage. In either case, the sale held good for only six years, or until the next year of jubilee (see the marginal references).
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Nehemiah 5:5. We bring in to bondage our sons — The law permitted parents to sell their children in times of extreme necessity, Exodus 21:7.
