⁴⁰ And ^(A)you shall take on the first day the fruit of splendid trees, branches of palm trees and boughs of leafy trees and willows of the brook, and ^(B)you shall rejoice before the Lord your God seven days.

A Great Multitude from Every Nation

⁹ After this I looked, and behold, ^(A)a great multitude that no one could number, ^(B)from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, ^(C)clothed in white robes, with ^(D)palm branches in their hands,

^4 (A)Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice.

^14 (A)You shall rejoice in your feast, you and your son and your daughter, your male servant and your female servant, the Levite, the sojourner, the fatherless, and the widow who are within your towns. ¹⁵ For ^(B)seven days you shall keep the feast to the Lord your God at the place that the Lord will choose, because the Lord your God will bless you in all your produce and in all the work of your hands, so that you will be altogether joyful.

¹¹ More than that, we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received ^(A)reconciliation.

^22 (A)So also you have sorrow now, but ^(B)I will see you again, and ^(C)your hearts will rejoice, and no one will take your joy from you.

¹³ So they took branches of ^(A)palm trees and went out to meet him, crying out, ^(B)“Hosanna! Blessed is ^(C)he who comes in the name of the Lord, even ^(D)the King of Israel!”

¹⁴ And they found it written in the Law that the Lord had commanded by Moses ^(A)that the people of Israel should dwell in booths^[a] during the feast of the seventh month, ¹⁵ and that they should proclaim it and ^(B)publish it in all their towns and ^(C)in Jerusalem, “Go out to the hills and bring ^(D)branches of olive, wild olive, myrtle, palm, and other leafy trees to make booths, as it is written.” ¹⁶ So the people went out and brought them and made booths for themselves, each ^(E)on his roof, and in their courts and in the courts of the house of God, and in the square at ^(F)the Water Gate and in the square at ^(G)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 ^(H)the people of Israel had not done so. And there was ^(I)very great rejoicing.
