Nehemiah 9:1-3 (King James Version)

Nehemiah 9

 ¹Now in the twenty and fourth day of this month the children of Israel were assembled with fasting, and with sackclothes, and earth upon them.

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

 ³And they stood up in their place, and read in the book of the law of the LORD their God one fourth part of the day; and another fourth part they confessed, and worshipped the LORD their God.
