Jeremiah 40:5

But before Jeremiah turned to go, Nebuzaradan added, “Return to Gedaliah son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, whom the king of Babylon has appointed over the cities of Judah, and stay with him among the people, or go anywhere else that seems right.” Then the captain of the guard gave him a ration and a gift and released him.
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
Now while he had not yet gone back, Go back then, he said, to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, whom the king of Babylon has made governor over the cities of Judah, and dwell with him among the people; or go wherever it seems right to you to go. So the captain of the guard gave him food and a present, and let him go.
World English Bible (WEB)
Now while he was not yet gone back{H7725}{(H8799)}, he said, Go back{H7725}{(H8798)} also to Gedaliah{H1436} the son{H1121} of Ahikam{H296} the son{H1121} of Shaphan{H8227}, whom the king{H4428} of Babylon{H894} hath made governor{H6485}{(H8689)} over the cities{H5892} of Judah{H3063}, and dwell{H3427}{(H8798)} with him among{H8432} the people{H5971}: or go{H3212}{(H8798)} wheresoever it seemeth convenient{H3477}{H5869} unto thee to go{H3212}{(H8800)}.
