Nehemiah 9:1-3

21st Century King James Version

9 Now in the twenty and fourth day of this month the children of Israel were assembled with fasting and with sackcloth and earth upon them.

² And the seed of Israel separated themselves from all strangers, and stood and confessed their sins and the iniquities of their fathers.

³ And they stood up in their place and read in the Book of the Law of the Lord their God for onefourth part of the day; and another fourth part they confessed and worshiped the Lord their God.
