Neḥemyah (Nehemiah) 2:4-5

And the sovereign said to me, “What are you asking for?” Then I prayed to the Elohim of the heavens, and said to the sovereign, “If it seems good to the sovereign, and if your servant is pleasing before you, I ask that you send me to Yehuḏah, to the city of my fathers’ burial-sites, so that I build it.”
