John Gill, on Neh 9:1
John Gill · 1697–1771
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 fourth day of this month,.... 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 Joe 1:8 which they could not show during the festival; but that being over, they return to it, see Neh 8:9.”
