13 H8145 And on the second H3117 day H622 [H8738] were gathered together H7218 the heads H1 of the fathers H5971 of all the people H3548 , the priests H3881 , and the Levites H5830 , to Ezra H5608 [H8802] the scribe H7919 [H8687] , even to understand H1697 the words H8451 of the law.

14 H4672 [H8799] And they found H3789 [H8803] written H8451 in the law H3068 which the LORD H6680 [H8765] had commanded H3027 by H4872 Moses H1121 , that the children H3478 of Israel H3427 [H8799] should dwell H5521 in booths H2282 in the feast H7637 of the seventh H2320 month:

15 H8085 [H8686] And that they should declare H5674 H6963 [H8686] and proclaim H5892 in all their cities H3389 , and in Jerusalem H559 [H8800] , saying H3318 [H8798] , Go forth H2022 to the mount H935 [H8685] , and fetch H2132 olive H5929 branches H8081 , and pine H6086 H5929 branches H1918 , and myrtle H5929 branches H8558 , and palm H5929 branches H5929 , and branches H5687 of thick H6086 trees H6213 [H8800] , to make H5521 booths H3789 [H8803] , as it is written.

16 H5971 So the people H3318 [H8799] went forth H935 [H8686] , and brought H6213 [H8799] them, and made H5521 themselves booths H376 , every one H1406 upon the roof of his house H2691 , and in their courts H2691 , and in the courts H1004 of the house H430 of God H7339 , and in the street H4325 of the water H8179 gate H7339 , and in the street H8179 of the gate H669 of Ephraim.

17 H6951 And all the congregation H7725 [H8802] of them that had returned H7628 from the captivity H6213 [H8799] made H5521 booths H3427 [H8799] , and sat H5521 under the booths H3117 : for since the days H3442 of Joshua H1121 the son H5126 of Nun H3117 to that day H1121 had not the children H3478 of Israel H6213 [H8804] done so H3966 . And there was very H1419 great H8057 gladness.

18 H3117 Also day H3117 by day H7223 , from the first H3117 day H314 to the last H3117 day H7121 [H8799] , he read H5612 in the book H8451 of the law H430 of God H6213 [H8799] . And they kept H2282 the feast H7651 seven H3117 days H8066 ; and on the eighth H3117 day H6116 was a solemn assembly H4941 , according to the manner.
