Yet now our flesh and blood is the same as our brothers, and our children are the same as their children
"We are of the same descent as our fellow Jews and our children are like theirs" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom)
Some of our daughters have already been enslaved
AT: "We have already sold some of our daughters into slavery."
But it is not in our power to help it because other men now own our fields and our vineyards
This text assumes information which the hearers would have understood: The Jews' fields and vineyards must be in their possession to produce the money they need. AT: "But it is not in our power to change this situation because other men now own our fields and our vineyards which we need to support our lives." (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit)
