Nehemiah 9:1-3

Israel Confesses Their Sins

Now on the twenty-fourth day of ^athis month the sons of Israel gathered ^bwith fasting, in sackcloth and with ^cdirt upon them. 2 The ^aseed of Israel separated themselves from all foreigners, and stood and ^bconfessed their sins and the iniquities of their fathers. 3 And ^athey rose up in their place and read from the book of the law of Yahweh their God for a fourth of the day; and for another fourth they were confessing and worshiping Yahweh their God.
