Nehemiah 8:14-17

14And they foundH4672 writtenH3789 in the lawH8451 which Jehovah had commandedH6680 through MosesH4872, that the children of IsraelH3478 should dwellH3427 in boothsH5521 in the feastH2282 of the seventhH7637 monthH2320,

15and that they should publish and proclaim through all their citiesH5892, and at JerusalemH3389, sayingH559, GoH3318 forthH3318 to the mount, and fetch olive-branches, and wild olive-branches, and myrtle-branches, and palm-branches, and branches of thick treesH6086, to makeH6213 boothsH5521, as it is writtenH3789.

16And the peopleH5971 wentH3318 forthH3318 and broughtH935 [them], and madeH6213 themselves boothsH5521, everyoneH376 upon the roofH1406 of his houseH1004, and in their courts, and in the courts of the houseH1004 of 1GodH430, and in the openH7339 space of the water-gate, and in the openH7339 space of the gateH8179 of EphraimH669.

17And all the congregation of them that had come backH7725 from the captivityH7628 madeH6213 boothsH5521, and dweltH3427 in the boothsH5521. For since the daysH3117 of JeshuaH3442 the sonH1121 of NunH5126 until that dayH3117 had not the children of IsraelH3478 done soH3651. And there wasH1961 veryH3966 greatH1419 gladnessH8057.
