1 The Jews in Jerusalem and in the land of Judea send greetings to their kindred, the Jews in Egypt, and wish them true peace!
2 May God do good to you and remember his covenant with his faithful servants, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob,
3 give to all of you a heart to worship him and to do his will wholeheartedly and with a willing spirit,
4 open your heart to his law and commandments and grant you peace,
5 hear your prayers, and be reconciled to you, and never forsake you in time of adversity.
6 Even now we are praying for you here.
