Nehemiah 8:15-16

151And that they were to proclaim and circulate a proclamation in all their cities and 2in Jerusalem, saying, “3Go out to the hills, and bring olive branches and 4wild olive branches, myrtle branches, palm branches, and branches of other trees with thick branches, to make booths, as it is written.”

16So the people went out and brought them and made booths for themselves, each 5on his roof, and in their courtyards and in the courtyards of the house of God, and in the public square at 6the Water Gate, and in the square at 7the Gate of Ephraim.
