9 Now in the 24^th day of this month the Bnei Yisroel were assembled with a tzom, with sack-cloth, and adamah upon them.

² And the Zera Yisroel separated themselves from all foreigners, and stood and confessed their chattot, and the avonot of their avot.

³ And they stood up in their place, and read in the Sefer Torat Hashem Eloheihem one fourth part of the day; and another fourth part they confessed, and worshiped Hashem Eloheihem.
