Nehemiah 2:7

And I said to the king , If it pleases the king , let letters be given me to the governors of the province Beyond the River , that they may let me pass through until I come to Judah ,

I also said to him, “If it pleases the king, may I have letters to the governors of Trans-Euphrates, so that they will provide me safe-conduct until I arrive in Judah?

Moreover I said unto the king, If it please the king, let letters be given me to the governors beyond the river, that they may convey me over till I come into Judah;
