| 21 | Then I proclaimed a fast there, at the river Ahava, that we might humble ourselves before our God, to seek from him a straight way for ourselves, our children, and all our goods. | Ezra leads the people in fasting & prayer. Ez.8.21-23 | וָאֶקְרָא שָׁם צֹום עַל־הַנָּהָר אַהֲוָא לְהִתְעַנֹּות לִפְנֵי אֱלֹהֵינוּ לְבַקֵּשׁ מִמֶּנּוּ דֶּרֶךְ יְשָׁרָה לָנוּ וּלְטַפֵּנוּ וּלְכָל־רְכוּשֵׁנוּ׃ |
|
| 22 | For I was ashamed to ask the king for a band of soldiers and horsemen to protect us against the enemy on our way; since we had told the king, "The hand of our God is for good upon all that seek him, and the power of his wrath is against all that forsake him." | | כִּי בֹשְׁתִּי לִשְׁאֹול מִן־הַמֶּלֶךְ חַיִל וּפָרָשִׁים לְעָזְרֵנוּ מֵאֹויֵב בַּדָּרֶךְ כִּי־אָמַרְנוּ לַמֶּלֶךְ לֵאמֹר יַד־אֱלֹהֵינוּ עַל־כָּל־מְבַקְשָׁיו לְטֹובָה וְעֻזֹּו וְאַפֹּו עַל כָּל־עֹזְבָיו׃ |
|
| 23 | So we fasted and besought our God for this, and he listened to our entreaty. | | וַנָּצוּמָה וַנְּבַקְשָׁה מֵאֱלֹהֵינוּ עַל־זֹאת וַיֵּעָתֵר לָנוּ׃ |
