Nehemiah 8:16-18

Revised Geneva Translation

¹⁶ So the people went forth and brought them and made themselves booths, each one upon the roof of his house and in their courts and in the courts of the House of God and in the street by the Water Gate and in the street of the Gate of Ephraim.

¹⁷ And all the Congregation of those who had come back from the captivity made booths and sat under the booths. For since the time of Jeshua, the son of Nun, until this day, had the children of Israel not done so. And there was very great joy.

¹⁸ And he read in the Book of the Law of God every day, from the first day to the last day. And they kept the Feast for seven days, and a solemn assembly on the eighth day, according to procedure.
