‏ Nehemiah 8:14-18

14 And they found it written in the Law that the Lord had commanded by Moses ^athat the people of Israel should dwell in booths ^{▼▼Or temporary shelters} during the feast of the seventh month, 15 and that they should proclaim it and ^cpublish it in all their towns and ^din Jerusalem, “Go out to the hills and bring ^ebranches of olive, wild olive, myrtle, palm, and other leafy trees to make booths, as it is written.” 16 So the people went out and brought them and made booths for themselves, each ^fon his roof, and in their courts and in the courts of the house of God, and in the square at ^gthe Water Gate and in the square at ^hthe Gate of Ephraim. 17 And all the assembly of those who had returned from the captivity made booths and lived in the booths, for from the days of Jeshua the son of Nun to that day ⁱthe people of Israel had not done so. And there was ^jvery great rejoicing. 18 And day by day, from the first day to the last day, ^khe read from the Book of the Law of God. They kept the feast seven days, and ^lon the eighth day there was a solemn assembly, according to the rule.
