Adam Clarke · 1762–1832
Neh 9:1 · Douay-Rheims
“And in the four and twentieth day of the month the children of Israel came together with fasting and with sackcloth, and earth upon them.”
On this verse:
“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.”
