Clarke's Bible Commentary - Nehemiah 9:1

Verse 1. Now in the twenty and fourth day] The feast of trumpets was on the first day of this month; on the fourteenth began the feast of tabernacles, which, lasting seven days, finished on the twenty-second; on the twenty- third they separated themselves from their illegitimate wives and children; and, on the twenty-fourth, they held a solemn day of fasting and confession of sin, and reading the law, which they closed by renewing their covenants.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 1. Now in the twenty fourth day of this month , etc.] The seventh month, the month Tisri or September, two days after the feast of tabernacles was ended: the children of Israel were assembled with fasting, and with sackclothes, and earth upon them ; which were all outward tokens of mourning and humiliation, (see Joel 1:8,14 1 Samuel 4:12) which they could not show during the festival; but that being over, they return to it, (see Nehemiah 8:9).
