Guiding Questions: Nehemiah 9

Exploring Judaism

This is part of the Tanakh Yomi Project.

What is the reason for the mourning described in Nehemiah 9:1?
The Kohanim appear to be absent in the “blessing process.” What might be the reason?
Where in the mourning tefillah do we find Nehemiah 9:6 et seq. with some variations in text?
In Nehemiah 9:17 is there a misprint — which is not discerned in the English translation? The Hebrew has “they determined to return to their work ‘bemiryam'”. Should it be “bemitzra’yim” (in Egypt)?
According to Nehemiah 9:26 in this precis of Biblical history, what was the cause of the downfall of Israel?
According to Nehemiah 9:33, the transgressions and rebellions of the people aside, what is the “posture” of Divinity?
What do Nehemiah 9:36-37 affirm as to the posture of the returned exiles?
