Nehemiah 2:4-8

4Then the kingH4428 saidH559 unto meH413, For whatH4100 dost thou makeH6419 requestH1245? SoH2088 I prayedH6419 to the GodH430 of heavenH8064.

5And I saidH559 unto the kingH4428, IfH518 it pleaseH2895 the kingH4428, and ifH518 thy servantH5650 have foundH3190 favour in thy sightH6440, that thou wouldest sendH7971 meH413 unto JudahH3063, unto the cityH5892 of my fathers’H1 sepulchres, that I may buildH1129 it.

6And the kingH4428 saidH559 unto meH5414, (the queenH7694 also sittingH3427 by him,) For howH4970 longH5704 shall thy journeyH4109 be? and when wilt thou returnH7725? SoH7971 it pleasedH3190 the kingH4428 to sendH7971 meH5414; and I setH5414 him a time.

7Moreover I saidH559 unto the kingH4428, IfH518 it pleaseH2895 the kingH4428, letH5414 lettersH107 be givenH5414 meH413 to the governorsH6346 beyondH5676 the riverH5104, that they may letH5414 meH413 passH5674 throughH5674 tillH5704 I comeH935 unto JudahH3063;

8and a letterH107 unto AsaphH623 the keeperH8104 of the king’sH4428 forestH6508, that he may giveH5414 meH413 timberH6086 to makeH5414 beamsH6086 for the gatesH8179 of the castle whichH834 appertaineth to the houseH1004, and for the wallH2346 of the cityH5892, and for the houseH1004 that I shall enterH935 intoH413. And the kingH4428 grantedH5414 meH413, accordingH5921 to the goodH2896 handH3027 of my GodH430 uponH5921 meH413.
