Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Nehemiah 9:2

_ _ confessed their sins, and the iniquities of their fathers — Not only did they read in their recent sufferings a punishment of the national apostasy and guilt, but they had made themselves partakers of their fathers’ sins by following the same evil ways.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Nehemiah 9:1-3.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Nehemiah 9:2

Separated — From all unnecessary society with the Heathens, and particularly from those strange women whom some of them had married. For though Ezra had done this formerly, yet, it seems, there were some criminals, without his knowledge, or, these were some new delinquents, that since that time had fallen into the same error, and shewed the truth of their repentance by forsaking their beloved sins, and dearest relations.
