The speaker proclaims a fast at the river Ahava
말하는 이가 아하와강 가에서 금식을 선포함
Ezra 8:21–23: the text says, “Then I proclaimed a fast there at the river Ahava, that we might humble ourselves before our God, to seek from him a straight way for us, for our little ones, and for all our possessions. For I was ashamed to ask of the king a band of soldiers and horsemen to help us against the enemy on the way, because we had spoken to the king, saying, ‘The hand of our God is on all those who seek him, for good; but his power and his wrath is against all those who forsake him.’ So we fasted and begged our God for this, and he granted our request.” At 8:22 the Korean Revised Version gives first the words spoken to the king before, and ends with 왕에게 구하기를 부끄러워 하였음이라, was ashamed to ask of the king; its only subject is 우리가 (we) at the start of the verse, where WEB opens with “For I was ashamed”; at 8:23 it reads 그 응낙하심을 입었느니라, his consent was received, where WEB reads “he granted our request”.
