Parallel

Nehemiah 13:6

Berean Standard Bible · Westminster Leningrad Codex

While all this was happening, I was not in Jerusalem, because I had returned to Artaxerxes king of Babylon (note: Artaxerxes king of Persia is identified here as the king of Babylon because Persia had conquered the Babylonian Empire.) in the thirty-second year of his reign.

וּבְכָל־ זֶ֕ה לֹ֥א הָיִ֖יתִי בִּֽירוּשָׁלִָ֑ם כִּ֡י בִּשְׁנַת֩ שְׁלֹשִׁ֨ים וּשְׁתַּ֜יִם לְאַרְתַּחְשַׁ֤סְתְּא מֶֽלֶךְ־ בָּבֶל֙ בָּ֣אתִי אֶל־ הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ וּלְקֵ֥ץ יָמִ֖ים נִשְׁאַ֥לְתִּי מִן־ הַמֶּֽלֶךְ׃
