Nehemiah 9:1 - Forerunner Commentary

Nehemiah 9:1

The People Confess Their Sins

1 Now on the twenty-fourth day of ^athis month the children of Israel were assembled with fasting, in sackcloth, ^band with dust on their heads.

2 Then ^athose of Israelite lineage separated themselves from all foreigners; and they stood and ^bconfessed their sins and the iniquities of their fathers.

3 And they stood up in their place and ^aread from the Book of the Law of the Lord their God for one–fourth of the day; and for another fourth they confessed and worshiped the Lord their God.

4 Then Jeshua, Bani, Kadmiel, Shebaniah, Bunni, Sherebiah, Bani, and Chenani stood on the stairs of the Levites and cried out with a loud voice to the Lord their God.

5 And the Levites, Jeshua, Kadmiel, Bani, Hashabniah, Sherebiah, Hodijah, Shebaniah, and Pethahiah, said:
“Stand up and bless the Lord your God
Forever and ever!
“Blessed be ^aYour glorious name,
Which is exalted above all blessing and praise!
