1 To the brothers, the Jews, who are throughout Egypt: the brothers, the Jews, who are in Jerusalem and in the region of Judea, send greetings and good peace.
2 May God be gracious to you, and may he remember his covenant, which was spoken to Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, his faithful servants.
3 And may he give all of you the heart to worship him, and to do his will, with a great heart and a willing soul.
4 May he throw open your heart with his law and with his precepts, and may he create peace.
5 May he heed your prayers and be reconciled to you, and may he not forsake you in the evil time.
