Nehemiah 8:16-18

16So the people went out and brought them and made booths for themselves, each 1on his roof, and in their courts and in the courts of the house of God, and in the square at 2the Water Gate and in the square at 3the Gate of Ephraim.

17The entire assembly of those who had returned from the captivity made booths and lived in 4them. The sons of Israel 5had indeed not done so from the days of Joshua the son of Nun to that day. And 6there was great rejoicing.

187He read from the book of the law of God daily, from the first day to the last day. And they 8celebrated the feast seven days, and on 9the eighth day there was a solemn assembly according to the ordinance.
