Philemon 11-13

Orthodox Jewish Bible

¹¹ The one once "Useless" to you, but, now, both to you and to me "Useful" (Onesimus).

¹² I am sending him who is my very lev (heart) back to you.

¹³ I was wanting to detain him with me, in order that he might function as a keli kodesh (minister), ministering to me in your place, as your murshe (proxy), while I’m detained in the imprisonment of the Besuras HaGeulah.
