Nehemiah 9:1-3

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

9 And in the four and twentieth day of the month the children of Israel came together with fasting and with sackcloth, and earth upon them.

² And the seed of the children of Israel separated themselves from every stranger: and they stood, and confessed their sins, and the iniquities of their fathers.

³ And they rose up to stand: and they read in the book of the law of the Lord their God, four times in the day, and four times they confessed, and adored the Lord their God.
