Ezra 8:22

Context
8:22 I was embarrassed to request soldiers and horsemen from the king to protect us from the enemy 1  along the way, because we had said to the king, “The good hand of our God is on everyone who is seeking him, but his great anger 2  is against everyone who forsakes him.”

1 tn A number of modern translations regard this as a collective singular and translate “from enemies” (also in v. 31).

2 tn Heb “his strength and his anger.” The expression is a hendiadys (one concept expressed through two terms).
