Nehemiah’s Prayer

1 The words of Nehemiah son of Hakaliah:

In the month of Kislev^(A) in the twentieth year, while I was in the citadel of Susa,^(B)

² At that time King Xerxes reigned from his royal throne in the citadel of Susa,^(A)

² In my vision I saw myself in the citadel of Susa^(A) in the province of Elam;^(B) in the vision I was beside the Ulai Canal.
