Nehemiah 8:14-17

14And they found written in the Law, which the LORD had commanded through Moses, that the Israelites were to dwell in booths1 during the feast of the seventh month,

15and that they should proclaim this message and spread it throughout their towns and in Jerusalem, saying, “Go out to the hill country and bring back branches of olive, wild olive,2 myrtle, palm, and other leafy trees, to make booths, as it is written.”3

16And the people went out, brought back branches, and made booths on their own rooftops, in their courtyards, in the courts of the house of God, and in the squares by the Water Gate and by the Gate of Ephraim. 17The whole assembly that had returned from exile made booths and lived in them. From the days of Joshua4 son of Nun until that day, the Israelites had not celebrated like this. And there was great rejoicing.
