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!

<< Nehemiah 8:18   Nehemiah 9:2 >>


Nehemiah 9:1

The festival lasted from the 15th day of the 7th month to the first. The 22nd day was a day of solemn observance Nehemiah 8:18. One day seems to have been allowed the people for rest; and then the work of repentance, for which they had shown themselves ready Nehemiah 8:9, was taken in hand, and a general fast was proclaimed.
