Nehemiah 8:16-18

English Standard Version

¹⁶ So the people went out and brought them and made booths for themselves, each ^(A)on his roof, and in their courts and in the courts of the house of God, and in the square at ^(B)the Water Gate and in the square at ^(C)the Gate of Ephraim. ¹⁷ And all the assembly of those who had returned from the captivity made booths and lived in the booths, for from the days of Jeshua the son of Nun to that day ^(D)the people of Israel had not done so. And there was ^(E)very great rejoicing. ¹⁸ And day by day, from the first day to the last day, ^(F)he read from the Book of the Law of God. They kept the feast seven days, and ^(G)on the eighth day there was a solemn assembly, according to the rule.
