Am vierundzwanzigsten Tag dieses Monats kamen die Israeliten zu einem Fasten zusammen, in Bußgewänder gehüllt und das Haupt mit Staub bedeckt.

And exalted above all blessing and praise!
Die Leviten Jeschua, Kadmiël, Bani, Haschabneja, Scherebja, Hodija, Schebanja und Petachja sagten: Erhebt euch und preist den HERRN, euren Gott, von Ewigkeit zu Ewigkeit! Man preise deinen herrlichen Namen, obwohl er erhaben ist über allen Preis und Ruhm.
