Nehemiah 9:1-3

Tree of Life Version

Levites Tell Israel’s Story

9 Now on the twenty-fourth day of this same month, Bnei-Yisrael gathered together, fasting and wearing sackcloth and putting dust on their heads. ² The offspring of Israel separated themselves from all foreigners, standing and confessing their sins and the iniquities of their fathers. ³ They stood in their place and read in the scroll of the Torah of Adonai their God for a quarter of the day; and for another quarter they were confessing and prostrating themselves before Adonai their God.
