They contacted ¹  me four times in this way, and I responded the same way each time. ² 

The fifth time that Sanballat sent his assistant to me in this way, he had an open letter in his hand.

Sanballat and Geshem sent word to me saying, “Come on! Let’s set up a time to meet together at Kephirim ¹  in the plain of Ono.” Now they intended to do me harm.

But if you repent ¹  and obey ²  my commandments and do them, then even if your dispersed people are in the most remote location, ³  I will gather them from there and bring them to the place I have chosen for my name to reside.’
