Nehemiah 9:1-3

And in the twenty and fourth day of this month have the sons of Israel been gathered, with fasting, and with sackcloth, and earth upon them; and the seed of Israel are separated from all sons of a stranger, and stand and confess concerning their sins, and the iniquities of their fathers, and rise up on their station, and read in the book of the law of JEHOVAH their God a fourth of the day, and a fourth they are confessing and bowing themselves to JEHOVAH their God.
