Nehemiah 2:6 in Context — Nehemiah 2
4 E o rei me disse: O que pedes? Então orei ao Deus dos céus,
5 E respondei ao rei: Se for do agrado do rei, e se teu servo é agradável diante de ti, [peço] que me envies a Judá, à cidade dos sepulcros de meus pais, para reconstruí-la.
6 Então o rei me disse (enquanto a rainha estava sentada junto a ele): Por quanto tempo durará tua viagem, e quando voltarás? E agradou ao rei me enviar, depois que eu lhe defini um certo tempo.
7 Disse mais ao rei: Se for do agrado do rei, sejam dadas a mim cartas para os governadores dalém do rio, para que me permitam passar em segurança até que eu chegue a Judá;
8 Como também um carta para Asafe, guarda do jardim do rei, para que me dê madeira para consertar as portas da fortaleza do templo, para o muro da cidade, e para a casa onde entrarei.E o rei me concedeu, segundo a boa mão do SENHOR sobre mim.
