Nehemiah 9:2-4

² After the Israelites separated themselves from all of the foreigners, they stood to confess their sins and the terrible behavior of their ancestors. ³ They stood in their place and read the Instruction scroll from the Lord their God for a quarter of the day. For another quarter of the day, they confessed and worshipped the Lord their God.

⁴ On the stairs of the Levites stood Jeshua, Bani, Kadmiel, Shebaniah, Bunni, Sherebiah, Bani, and Chenani. They cried out with a loud voice to the Lord their God.
