Ezra 9:8
Douay-Rheims
And now as a little, and for a moment has our prayer been made before the Lord our God, to leave us a remnant, and give us a pin in his holy place, and that our God would enlighten our eyes, and would give us a little life in our bondage.
Rashi
And now, for a short moment temporarily.
favor Heb. תְּחִנָה, like חֲנִינָה
and to give us a peg to establish us in the land of Israel.
a peg יָתֵד, like (Isa. 22:23): “And I will thrust him like a peg (יָתֵד) in a sure place.”
a little life [as translated,] a little life.
