Ezra 8:21

Then I proclaimed a fast there , at the river Ahava , that we might humble ourselves before our God , to seek from him a safe journey for ourselves, our children , and all our goods .

There, by the Ahava Canal, I proclaimed a fast, so that we might humble ourselves before our God and ask him for a safe journey for us and our children, with all our possessions.

Then I proclaimed a fast there, at the river of Ahava, that we might afflict ourselves before our God, to seek of him a right way for us, and for our little ones, and for all our substance.
