Verse 3 is found in chapter 9 of Nehemiah. The people gather in fasting, with public signs of humility, and confess their sins. Confession occurs after the reading of the Law, so the Word provides the framework for recognizing unfaithfulness. The community acknowledges present responsibility while also remembering the sins of its ancestors.
