ECB⁽ⁱ⁾ 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. ⁹ And I come to the governors beyond the river and give them the epistles of the sovereign: and the sovereign sends governors of the men of valour and cavalry with me.
