5 en aan die koning gesê: As die koning dit goedvind en as u dienaar welgevallig is in u oë, stuur my dan na Juda, na die stad waar my vaders begrawe lê, dat ek dit kan opbou.

5 And I said to the king, If it is the king's pleasure, and if your servant has your approval, send me to Judah, to the town where the bodies of my fathers are at rest, so that I may take in hand the building of it.
