Now in the twenty and fourth day of this month the children of Israel were assembled with fasting, and with sackclothes, and earth upon them.(Nehemiah 9:1)

And the seed of Israel separated themselves from all strangers, and stood and confessed their sins, and the iniquities of their fathers.(Nehemiah 9:2)

And 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.(Nehemiah 9:3)
