NE-9:1 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.
NE-9:2 And the seed of Israel separated themselves from all
strangers, and
stood and confessed their sins, and the iniquities of their
fathers.
NE-9:3 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.
NE-9:4 Then stood up upon the stairs, of the Levites, Jeshua,
and Bani,
Kadmiel, Shebaniah, Bunni, Sherebiah, Bani, [and] Chenani, and
cried with a
loud voice unto the LORD their God.
NE-9:5 Then the Levites, Jeshua, and Kadmiel, Bani, Hashabniah,
Sherebiah,
Hodijah, Shebaniah, [and] Pethahiah, said, Stand up [and] bless
the LORD your
God for ever and ever: and blessed be thy glorious name, which
is exalted
above all blessing and praise.
NE-9:6 Thou, [even] thou, [art] LORD alone; thou hast made
heaven, the heaven
of heavens, with all their host, the earth, and all [things]
that [are]
therein, the seas, and all that [is] therein, and thou
preservest them all;
and the host of heaven worshippeth thee.
NE-9:7 Thou [art] the LORD the God, who didst choose Abram, and
broughtest
him forth out of Ur of the Chaldees, and gavest him the name of
Abraham;
NE-9:8 And foundest his heart faithful before thee, and madest
a covenant
with him to give the land of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the
Amorites, and
the Perizzites, and the Jebusites, and the Girgashites, to give
[it, I say],
to his seed, and hast performed thy words; for thou [art]
righteous:
NE-9:9 And didst see the affliction of our fathers in Egypt,
and heardest
their cry by the Red sea;
NE-9:10 And showedst signs and wonders upon Pharaoh, and on all
his servants,
and on all the people of his land: for thou knewest that they
dealt proudly
against them. So didst thou get thee a name, as [it is] this day.
NE-9:11 And thou didst divide the sea before them, so that they
went through
the midst of the sea on the dry land; and their persecutors thou
threwest into
the deeps, as a stone into the mighty waters.
NE-9:12 Moreover thou leddest them in the day by a cloudy
pillar; and in the
night by a pillar of fire, to give them light in the way wherein
they should
go.
NE-9:13 Thou camest down also upon mount Sinai, and spakest
with them from
heaven, and gavest them right judgments, and true laws, good
statutes and
commandments:
NE-9:14 And madest known unto them thy holy sabbath, and
commandedst them
precepts, statutes, and laws, by the hand of Moses thy servant:
NE-9:15 And gavest them bread from heaven for their hunger, and
broughtest
forth water for them out of the rock for their thirst, and
promisedst them
that they should go in to possess the land which thou hadst
sworn to give
them.
NE-9:16 But they and our fathers dealt proudly, and hardened
their necks, and
hearkened not to thy commandments,
NE-9:17 And refused to obey, neither were mindful of thy
wonders that thou
didst among them; but hardened their necks, and in their
rebellion appointed a
captain to return to their bondage: but thou [art] a God ready
to pardon,
gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and
forsookest
them not.
NE-9:18 Yea, when they had made them a molten calf, and said,
This [is] thy
God that brought thee up out of Egypt, and had wrought great
provocations;
NE-9:19 Yet thou in thy manifold mercies forsookest them not in
the
wilderness: the pillar of the cloud departed not from them by
day, to lead
them in the way; neither the pillar of fire by night, to show
them light, and
the way wherein they should go.
NE-9:20 Thou gavest also thy good spirit to instruct them, and
withheldest
not thy manna from their mouth, and gavest them water for their
thirst.
NE-9:21 Yea, forty years didst thou sustain them in the
wilderness, [so that]
they lacked nothing; their clothes waxed not old, and their feet
swelled not.
NE-9:22 Moreover thou gavest them kingdoms and nations, and
didst divide them
into corners: so they possessed the land of Sihon, and the land
of the king of
Heshbon, and the land of Og king of Bashan.
NE-9:23 Their children also multipliedst thou as the stars of
heaven, and
broughtest them into the land, concerning which thou hadst
promised to their
fathers, that they should go in to possess [it].
NE-9:24 So the children went in and possessed the land, and
thou subduedst
before them the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, and
gavest them into
their hands, with their kings, and the people of the land, that
they might do
with them as they would.
