The king and the queen, who was sitting near him (שֵׁגָל, Psa 45:10), grant him permission to depart after he has, in answer to their inquiry, fixed the period of his absence. Nehemiah makes the result of the conversation, “And it pleased the king,” etc., follow immediately upon the question of the king and queen: For how long shall thy journey be, and when wilt thou return? before telling us what was his answer to this question, which is not brought in till afterwards, so that זְמָן לֹו וָאֶתְּנָה must be understood as expressing: since I had determined the time.
