Render an image inspired by the biblical verse Nehemiah 9:1. Visualize people gathered together, dressed in humble sackcloth, with evidence of fasting evident on their faces, and with soil scattered atop them. The cultural mix is universally inclusive, but the scene should convey an atmosphere of solemnity, penitence, and humility. To get that feel let's use careful shading, contrast, and attention to textures often employed in digital art. Use hues commonly encountered in the desert region to invoke a natural atmosphere common in biblical narratives. Ensure a harmonious blend of human figures and environmental details in the image.

Nehemiah 9:1 - "Now in the twenty and fourth day of this month the children of Israel were assembled with fasting, and with sackclothes, and earth upon them."
