<p class="tab-1">The tenth day of the seventh month between the feast of trumpets (<a class="bibleref" title="Neh.8.2" href="/passage/?search=Neh.8.2">Neh. 8:2</a>) and the feast of tabernacles (<a class="bibleref" title="Neh.9.14" href="/passage/?search=Neh.9.14">Neh. 9:14</a>) was appointed to be the day of atonement; we have no reason to think but that it was religiously observed, though it is not mentioned. But here we have an account of an occasional fast that was kept a fortnight after that, with reference to the present posture of their affairs, and it was, as that, a day of humiliation. There is a time to weep as well as a time to laugh. We have here an account. I. How this fast was observed, <a class="bibleref" title="Neh.9.1-Neh.9.3" href="/passage/?search=Neh.9.1-Neh.9.3">Neh. 9:1-3</a>. II.
