Rashi, on Neh 2:5

“And I said to the king: If it seem good to the king, and if thy servant hath found favour in thy sight, that thou wouldst send me into Judea to the city of the sepulchre of my father, and I will build it.”

“that you send me that you grant me permission to ascend to Jerusalem and build it.”
