尼希米记 9:19 CUNPSS

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Nehemiah 9:1-38

CHAPTER 9 1. The public humiliation and confession (Nehemiah 9:1-5 ) 2. The great confession and prayer (Nehemiah 9:6-38 ) Nehemiah 9:1-5 . Two days after the feast of tabernacles had been concluded this humiliation and confession of sin took place. The assembled congregation fasted, with sackcloth and earth upon them. Separation was next. Evil confessed must mean evil put away. They separated themselves from all strangers, and after their confession they worshipped the Lord. Here again is... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Nehemiah 9:1-38

ISRAEL'S GUILT CONFESSED TO THEIR CREATOR (vv. 1-6) The Great Day of Atonement was on the first day of the seventh month, followed by the Feast of Tabernacles beginning the 15th day; but what should have been done on the first day was not done until the 24th day of the month (v. 1). This surely indicates that the people were not as sensitive to the seriousness of their sin as they ought to have been. However, when this was impressed on them, there was some real exercise of soul awakened, to... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Nehemiah 9:1-38

INTERNAL REGULATIONS A NEW GENEALOGICAL RECORD (Nehemiah 7:0 ) The need for this assignment of duty to the two men named (Nehemiah 7:2 ), is not apparent unless Nehemiah contemplated a return to Persia. Later it will be seen that such return took place, but whether at this time or not, is not clear. To “fear God above many,” as Hananiah did, is a great commendation. It was customary to open the gates of a city at sunrise, but to do so in this case before the inhabitants were well awake and... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Nehemiah 9:1-38

Nehemiah 9:0 1. Now in the twenty and fourth day of this month [ch. Neh 8:2 ] the children of Israel were assembled with fasting, and with sackclothes, and earth upon them [Comp. 1 Samuel 4:12 ; 2 Samuel 15:32 , etc.]. 2. And the seed of Israel separated themselves from all strangers [ Heb. strange children], and stood and confessed their sins, and the iniquities of their fathers. 3. And they stood up in their place, and read [ i.e. engaged in the reading of the law. The actual readers were... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Nehemiah 9:6-31

(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. (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; (8) And foundest his heart faithful before thee, and madest a covenant with him to give the land of... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Nehemiah 9:4-38

4-38 The summary of their prayers we have here upon record. Much more, no doubt, was said. Whatever ability we have to do any thing in the way of duty, we are to serve and glorify God according to the utmost of it. When confessing our sins, it is good to notice the mercies of God, that we may be the more humbled and ashamed. The dealings of the Lord showed his goodness and long-suffering, and the hardness of their hearts. The testimony of the prophets was the testimony of the Spirit in the... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Nehemiah 9:1-99

Nehemiah 9 and Nehemiah 10 IN VERSES Neh_9:2 and 3, we see the effect which the reading of the law had upon the hearers. First, they separated themselves from all the entanglements with 'strangers', or 'foreigners', that they had been permitting. Secondly, they confessed their own sins, as well as the iniquities in which their fathers had been involved. Then thirdly, they honoured their God, by worshipping Him. They recognized that the word of the Lord, which they read, demanded obedience. And... read more

Then stood up upon the stairs, the platforms from which the people were usually addressed, of the Levites, Jeshua, and Bani, Kadmiel, Shebaniah, Bani, Sherebiah, Eani, and Chenani, and cried with a loud voice unto the Lord, their God, acting as spokesmen for the entire congregation. v. 5.

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Nehemiah 9:1-21

God’s Hand in History Nehemiah 9:1-21 What a blessed result of the Bible-study of the previous chapter. It led to confession, separation from evil association and worship. It is good to review the dealings of God with us and with our people in bygone days. There are hilltops in our experience where the air is clear, and we can see the way by which we have been led. At such times we look beyond second causes to the great Orderer of our lives, and our history is one perpetual assertion of ... read more
