Nehemiah 8:14-17

Nehemiah 8:14-17

[14] And they found  written  in the law  which the LORD  had commanded  by  Moses,  that the children  of Israel  should dwell  in booths  in the feast  of the seventh  month:  [15] And that they should publish  and proclaim  in all their cities,  and in Jerusalem,  saying,  Go forth  unto the mount,  and fetch  olive  branches,  and pine  branches,  and myrtle  branches,  and palm  branches,  of thick  trees,  to make  booths,  as it is written.  [16] So the people  went forth,  and brought  them, and made  themselves booths,  every one  upon the roof of his house,  and in their courts,  of the house  of God,  and in the street  of the water  gate,  and in the street  of the gate  of Ephraim.  [17] And all the congregation  of them that were come again  out of the captivity  made  booths,  and sat  under the booths:  for since the days  of Jeshua  the son  of Nun  unto that day  had not the children  of Israel  done so.  And there was very  great  gladness.
