tax, tribute, royal levy
A noun meaning tax or tribute, appearing in Nehemiah 5:4. This is a loanword from Assyrian 'mandattu' (tribute), ultimately from the root meaning 'to give.' The context is Jews borrowing money 'for the king's tax'—the Persian imperial levy imposed on the province. This financial burden, combined with drought and debt, created severe economic hardship for the returned exiles. The term emphasizes the obligatory nature of this payment to foreign overlords.

1. sense 1 — Tax, tribute imposed by the Persian king. Nehemiah 5:4 records people borrowing money 'for the king's tax,' showing the economic strain of imperial levies on poor Jews. This loanword from Assyrian 'mandattu' indicates tribute or tax. The Spanish 'para-tributo-de' (for tribute of) captures the obligatory payment. The multilingual glosses (tax-of, tributo-de) emphasize this as revenue owed to Persian authorities, adding to the community's distress. 1×
