Nehemiah’s Grief for the Exiles

1 The words of ^(A)Nehemiah the son of Hacaliah.

Now it happened in ^(B)the month Chislev, ^(C)in the twentieth year, while I was in ^(D)Susa the ^[a]capitol,

² I ^(A)looked in the vision, and while I was looking I was in the citadel of ^(B)Susa, which is in the province of ^(C)Elam; and I looked in the vision and I myself was beside the Ulai ^[a]Canal.
