Nehemiah 8:13-15

13Then on the second day the heads of fathers’ households of all the people, the priests and the Levites were gathered to Ezra the scribe that they might gain insight into the words of the law.

14They found written in the law how the Lord had commanded through Moses that the sons of Israel 1should live in booths during the feast of the seventh month.

1523So they proclaimed and circulated a proclamation in all their cities and 4in Jerusalem, saying, “5Go out to the hills, and bring olive branches and 6wild olive branches, myrtle branches, palm branches and branches of other leafy trees, to make booths, as it is written.”
