Nehemiah 2:5
Westminster Leningrad Codex · Berean Standard Bible
וָאֹמַ֣ר לַמֶּ֔לֶךְ אִם־ עַל־ הַמֶּ֣לֶךְ ט֔וֹב וְאִם־ יִיטַ֥ב עַבְדְּךָ֖ לְפָנֶ֑יךָ אֲשֶׁ֧ר תִּשְׁלָחֵ֣נִי אֶל־ יְהוּדָ֗ה אֶל־ עִ֛יר קִבְר֥וֹת אֲבֹתַ֖י וְאֶבְנֶֽנָּה׃
and answered the king, “If it pleases the king, and if your servant has found favor in your sight, I ask that you send me to Judah, to the city where my fathers are buried, so that I may rebuild it.”
