Nehemiah 6:5 (King James Version)
Then sent Sanballat his servant unto me in like manner the fifth time with an open letter in his hand;
- with an open letter
- This was a gross insult to a person of Nehemiah's quality; as the letters sent to chiefs and governors in the East are always carefully folded up, put in silk bags, and then sealed.
