Nehemiah 2:4-6

Jubilee Bible 2000

⁴ Then the king said unto me, For what dost thou make request? So I prayed to the God of the heavens.

⁵ And I said unto the king, If it pleases the king, and if thy slave has found favour in thy sight, that thou would send me unto Judah, unto the city of my fathers’ sepulchres, that I may rebuild it.

⁶ Then the king said unto me (the queen also sitting by him), For how long shall thy journey be, and when wilt thou return? So the matter pleased the king, and he sent me; and I set him a time.
