1523So they proclaimedH8085 and circulatedH5674 a proclamationH6963 in allH3605 their citiesH5892 and 4in JerusalemH3389, sayingH559, “5GoH3318 out to the hillsH2022, and bringH935 oliveH2132 branchesH5929 and 6wildH6086H8081 oliveH8081 branchesH5929, myrtleH1918 branchesH5929, palmH8558 branchesH5929 and branchesH5929 of other leafyH5687 treesH6086, to makeH6213 boothsH5521, as it is writtenH3789.”
