Nehemiah 9:1-5

Nehemiah 9:1-5 CSB

On the twenty-fourth day of this month  the Israelites assembled; they were fasting, wearing sackcloth, and had put dust on their heads.  Those of Israelite descent separated themselves from all foreigners,  and they stood  and confessed their sins and the iniquities of their ancestors.  While they stood in their places,  they read from the book of the law of the Lord their God for a fourth of the day and spent another fourth of the day  in confession  and worship of the Lord their God. Jeshua, Bani, Kadmiel, Shebaniah, Bunni, Sherebiah, Bani, and Chenani stood on the raised platform built for the Levites  and cried out loudly to the Lord their God. Then the Levites — Jeshua, Kadmiel, Bani, Hashabneiah, Sherebiah, Hodiah, Shebaniah, and Pethahiah   — said, “Stand up. Blessed be the Lord your God from everlasting to everlasting.”  Blessed be your glorious name,  and may it be exalted above all blessing and praise.
