New American Standard Bible 1995

Feast of Booths Restored

¹³ Then on the second day the heads of fathers’ households of all the people, the priests and the Levites were gathered to Ezra the scribe that they might gain insight into the words of the law. ¹⁴ They found written in the law how the Lord had commanded through Moses that the sons of Israel ^(A)should live in booths during the feast of the seventh month. ^15 [a](B)So they proclaimed and circulated a proclamation in all their cities and ^(C)in Jerusalem, saying, “^(D)Go out to the hills, and bring olive branches and ^[b]wild olive branches, myrtle branches, palm branches and branches of other leafy trees, to make booths, as it is written.”
