the god- people relation is established it makes obedience all the more imperative verse 20 and hallow my sabbaths that ye may know that i am the lord your god the sabbaths were a special gift to israel a token of their relation to god a true observ ance of the sabbaths therefore would bring with it a deeper re alization of that relation their attitude to the sabbath was a criterion of their attitude to god and his law- neh 91 xow the children of israel were assembled with fasting and earth upon them this was- the seventh month of the year the same month in which they had cele brated a great feast of taber nacles xow the feasting gave place to fasting for there was sin to be confessed verse 2 and the seed of israel separated themselves from all strangers and confessed their sins there is little value in confessing sin whioh one is not prepared to put away repentance is peni tence acted upon see also how they accepted the burden of the sins of their fathers verse 3 and they read in the book one fourth part of the day and another fourth part they confessed the spiritual awakening came as a result of and in conjunction with the reading of the word xote the length of the service six hours three hours allow ing the word to penetrate and three hours expressing their re sponse in confession and wor ship verses 43s give us one of the important prayers of the bi ble it is

law that they could scarce turn from their weeping to keep the feast of tabernacles in its season in chapter 9 comes the con fession the more of the word they heard the more it search ed out their hearts so that the reading had to be interrupted to give them time to confess their sins it became evident that the peoples grief and pen itence ought to be given corpo rate expression and a group of levites apparently appoint ed for the purpose prepared and offered the great prayer of confession in the hearing of the people it was intended to be the prayer of the people a summing up of the feelings that manifestly were moving them the prayer has three main themes it is the first recital of the goodness of god then a confession of the sin of the na tion and finally a plea concern ing
