13And on the secondH8145 dayH3117 were gatheredH622 togetherH622 the headsH7218 of fathers’H1 houses of allH3605 the peopleH5971, the priestsH3548, and the LevitesH3881, unto EzraH5830 the scribeH5608, even to give attention to the wordsH1697 of the lawH8451. 14And they foundH4672 writtenH3789 in the lawH8451, howH834 that the LORDH3068 had commandedH6680 by MosesH4872, that the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 should dwellH3427 in boothsH5521 in the feastH2282 of the seventhH7637 monthH2320: 15and that they should publish and proclaimH8085 in allH3605 their citiesH5892, and in JerusalemH3389, sayingH559, GoH3318 forthH3318 unto the mountH2022, and fetch oliveH2132 branchesH5929, and branchesH5929 of wild oliveH2132, and myrtleH1918 branchesH5929, and palmH8558 branchesH5929, and branchesH5929 of thick treesH6086, to makeH6213 boothsH5521, as it is writtenH3789. 16SoH6213 the peopleH5971 wentH3318 forthH3318, and broughtH935 them, and madeH6213 themselvesH1992 boothsH5521, everyH376 one uponH5921 the roofH1406 of his houseH1004, and in their courtsH8179, and in the courtsH8179 of the houseH1004 of GodH430, and in the broad placeH1004 of the waterH4325 gateH8179, and in the broad placeH1004 of the gateH8179 of EphraimH669. 17And allH3605 the congregationH6951 of them that were comeH1961 againH7725 outH4480 of the captivityH7628 madeH6213 boothsH5521, and dweltH3427 in the boothsH5521: for sinceH3588 the daysH3117 of JeshuaH3442 the sonH1121 of NunH5126 unto that dayH3117 had notH3808 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 doneH6213 soH3651. And there was veryH3966 greatH1419 gladnessH8057. 18Also dayH3117 by dayH3117, from the firstH7223 dayH3117 unto the lastH314 dayH3117, he readH7121 in the bookH5612 of the lawH8451 of GodH430. And they keptH6213 the feastH2282 sevenH7651 daysH3117; and on the eighthH8066 dayH3117 was a solemnH6116 assemblyH6116 accordingH4941 unto the ordinanceH4941.
