14And they foundH4672 writtenH3789 in the LawH8451 howH834 the LordH3068 had commandedH6680 throughH3027 MosesH4872 that the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 1were to liveH3427 in 2boothsH5521 during the feastH2282 of the seventhH7637 monthH2320.
153And that they were to proclaimH8085 and circulateH5674 a proclamationH6963 in allH3605 their citiesH5892 and 4in JerusalemH3389, sayingH559, “5GoH3318 outH3318 to the hillsH2022, and bringH935 oliveH2132 branchesH5929 and 6wildH6086H8081 oliveH8081 branchesH5929, myrtleH1918 branchesH5929, palmH8558 branchesH5929, and branchesH5929 of other treesH6086 with thickH5687 branchesH5687, to makeH6213 boothsH5521, as it is writtenH3789.”
16So the peopleH5971 wentH3318 outH3318 and broughtH935 them and madeH6213 boothsH5521 for themselves, eachH376 7on his roofH1406, and in their courtyardsH2691 and in the courtyardsH2691 of the houseH1004 of GodH430, and in the publicH7339 squareH7339 at 8the WaterH4325 GateH8179, and in the squareH7339 at 9the GateH8179 of EphraimH669.
17The entireH3605 assemblyH6951 of those who had returnedH7725 from the captivityH7628 madeH6213 boothsH5521 and livedH3427 in the boothsH5521. IndeedH3588, the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 10had not doneH6213 soH3651 sinceH4480 the daysH3117 of JoshuaH3091 the sonH1121 of NunH5126 to that dayH3117. And 11there was veryH3966 greatH1419 rejoicingH8057.
1812He readH7121 from the BookH5612 of the LawH8451 of GodH430 dailyH3117, from the firstH7223 dayH3117 to the lastH314 dayH3117. And they 13celebratedH6213 the feastH2282 sevenH7651 daysH3117, and on 14the eighthH8066 dayH3117 there was a festiveH6116 assemblyH6116 in accordance with the ordinanceH4941.
