Nehemiah 8:13-18
13And on the secondH8145 dayH3117 were gatheredH622 together the headsH7218 of fathers’H1housesof all the peopleH5971, the priestsH3548, and the LevitesH3881, unto EzraH5830 the scribeH5608, even to give attention to the wordsH1697 of the lawH8451. 14And they foundH4672 writtenH3789 in the lawH8451, how that Jehovah had commandedH6680 by MosesH4872, that the children of IsraelH3478 should dwellH3427 in boothsH5521 in the feastH2282 of the seventhH7637 monthH2320; 15and that they should publish and proclaim in all their citiesH5892, and in JerusalemH3389, sayingH559, GoH3318 forthH3318 unto the mount, and fetch oliveH2132 branches, and branches of wild oliveH2132, and myrtleH1918 branches, and palmH8558 branches, and branches of thick treesH6086, to makeH6213 boothsH5521, as it is writtenH3789. 16So the peopleH5971 wentH3318 forthH3318, and broughtH935 them, and madeH6213 themselves boothsH5521, every oneH376 upon the roofH1406 of his houseH1004, and in their courts, and in the courts of the houseH1004 of GodH430, and in the broad place of the waterH4325 gateH8179, and in the broad place of the gateH8179 of EphraimH669. 17And all the assemblyH6951 of them that wereH1961 come again out of the captivityH7628 madeH6213 boothsH5521, and dweltH3427 in the boothsH5521: for since the daysH3117 of JeshuaH3442 the sonH1121 of NunH5126 unto that dayH3117 had not the children of IsraelH3478 done soH3651. And there wasH1961 veryH3966 greatH1419 gladnessH8057. 18Also dayH3117 by dayH3117, from the firstH7223 dayH3117 unto the lastH314 dayH3117, he readH7121 in the bookH5612 of the lawH8451 of GodH430. And they kept the feastH2282 sevenH7651 daysH3117; and on the eighthH8066 dayH3117 was a solemnH6116 assemblyH6116, according unto the ordinanceH4941.
