This next Chapter 9 of Nehemiah will cover Repentance and Confession unto G-d.
A Pursuit of Holiness is the main theme of The Levites in Nehemiah 9 exhorting The People unto Righteousness and Worship of G-d.
It covers the result of G-d's Faithfulness to His Chosen Covenant People, The Seed of Abram.
The accounts of Abram's Descendants are used to point out The Covenant with G-d which started with Abram.

This is very enlightening. The Scripture in Hebrews concerning a "root of bitterness" (Hebrews 12:15) that defiles many now makes a lot more sense. The word for bitterness is a lot stronger than I had suspected.
