1 On the twenty-fourth day of this same month the Israelites assembled; they were fasting and wearing sackcloth, their heads covered with dust. 2 Those truly of Israelite descent ^{▼▼ Heb “the seed of Israel.”} separated from all the foreigners, ^{▼▼ Heb “sons of a foreigner.”} standing and confessing their sins and the iniquities of their ancestors. ^{▼▼ Heb “fathers” (also in vv. 9, 16, 23, 32, 34, 36).}
