SEV Biblia, Chapter 9:1
ΒΆ Y el día veinticuatro del mismo mes se juntaron los hijos de Israel en ayuno, y con cilicio, y tierra sobre sí.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Nehemiah 9:1
Verse 1. Now in the twenty and fourth day] The feast of trumpets was on the first day of this month; on the fourteenth began the feast of tabernacles, which, lasting seven days, finished on the twenty-second; on the twenty- third they separated themselves from their illegitimate wives and children; and, on the twenty-fourth, they held a solemn day of fasting and confession of sin, and reading the law, which they closed by renewing their covenants.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 1. Now in the twenty fourth day of this month , etc.] The seventh month, the month Tisri or September, two days after the feast of tabernacles was ended: the children of Israel were assembled with fasting, and with sackclothes, and earth upon them ; which were all outward tokens of mourning and humiliation, (see Joel 1:8,14 1 Samuel 4:12) which they could not show during the festival; but that being over, they return to it, (see Nehemiah 8:9).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-3 - The word will direct and quicken prayer, for by it the Spirit helps ou infirmities in prayer. The careful study of God's word will more an more discover to us our own sinfulness, and the plenteousness of his salvation; thus it calls us to mourn for sin, and to rejoice in him Every discovery of the truth of God, should render us more unwearied i attendance on his sacred word, and on his worship.
