Nehemiah 8:17-18

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁷ And all the assembly of those who had returned from the captivity made booths^[a] and lived in them; for from the days of Jeshua son of Nun to that day the people of Israel had not done so. And there was very great rejoicing. ¹⁸ And day by day, from the first day to the last day, he read from the book of the law of God. They kept the festival seven days; and on the eighth day there was a solemn assembly, according to the ordinance.
