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 so that they might gain insight into the words of the Law.

14And they found written in the Law how the Lord had commanded through Moses that the sons of Israel 1were to live in 2booths during the feast of the seventh month.

153And that they were to proclaim and circulate 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 trees with thick branches, to make booths, as it is written.”
