Nehemiah 8:14-16
New King James Version
14 And they found written in the Law, which the Lord had commanded by Moses, that the children of Israel should dwell in (A)booths[a] during the feast of the seventh month, 15 and (B)that they should announce and proclaim in all their cities and (C)in Jerusalem, saying, “Go out to the mountain, and (D)bring olive branches, branches of oil trees, myrtle branches, palm branches, and branches of leafy trees, to make booths, as it is written.”
16 Then the people went out and brought them and made themselves booths, each one on the (E)roof of his house, or in their courtyards or the courts of the house of God, and in the open square of the (F)Water Gate (G)and in the open square of the Gate of Ephraim.
