Open this scene in the reader →1On the twenty-fourth day of this month, the sons of Israel assembled with fasting, in sackcloth, and with dirt on them.
2Then the offspring of Israel separated themselves from all foreigners, and they stood and confessed their sins and the iniquities of their fathers.
3And they stood in their place, and they read from the Book of the Law of Yahweh their God for a fourth of the day; and for another fourth they were confessing and bowing down to Yahweh their God.
4Then Jeshua, Bani, Kadmiel, Shebaniah, Bunni, Sherebiah, Bani, and Kenani stood on the platform of the Levites, and they cried out with a loud voice to Yahweh their God.
5Then the Levites—Jeshua, Kadmiel, Bani, Hashabneiah, Sherebiah, Hodiah, Shebaniah, and Pethahiah—said, “Stand up; bless Yahweh your God from everlasting to everlasting. Blessed be your glorious name, which is exalted above all blessing and praise.”
