ECB⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ And the sovereign says to me, For what seek you? And I prayed to Elohim of the heavens; ⁵ and I say to the sovereign, If it be good with the sovereign and if your servant well-pleases at your face, send me to Yah Hudah - to the city of the tombs of my fathers - to build it. ⁶ And the sovereign says to me, - and the mistress settles by him, How long is your walk? And when return you? - and it is good at the face of the sovereign to send me; and I give him an appointment. ⁷ And I say to the sovereign, If it is good with the sovereign, give me epistles to the governors beyond the river to pass me over until I come to Yah Hudah: ⁸ and an epistle to Asaph the guard of the paradise of the sovereign, to give me timber to fell beams for the portals of the palace - for the house and for the wall of the city and for the house I enter. - and the sovereign gives me, according to the good hand of my Elohim on me.
