13 ○그 이튿날 뭇백성의 족장들과 제사장들과 레위 사람들이 율법의 말씀을 밝히 알고자 하여 학사 에스라의 곳에 모여서
14 율법책을 본즉 여호와께서 모세로 명하시기를 이스라엘 자손은 칠월 절기에 초막에 거할찌니라 하였고
15 또 일렀으되 모든 성읍과 예루살렘에 공포하여 이르기를 너희는 산에 가서 감람나무 가지와 들 감람나무 가지와 화석류나무 가지와 종려나무 가지와 기타 무성한 나무 가지를 취하여 기록한바를 따라 초막을 지으라 하라 하였는지라
16 백성이 이에 나가서 나무 가지를 취하여 혹은 지붕 위에, 혹은 뜰 안에, 혹은 하나님의 전 뜰에, 혹은 수문 광장에, 혹은 에브라임 문 광장에 초막을 짓되
17 사로잡혔다가 돌아온 회 무리가 다 초막을 짓고 그 안에 거하니 눈의 아들 여호수아 때로부터 그 날까지 이스라엘 자손이 이같이 행함이 없었으므로 이에 크게 즐거워하며
18 에스라는 첫날부터 끝날까지 날마다 하나님의 율법책을 낭독하고 무리가 칠일 동안 절기를 지키고 제 팔일에 규례를 따라 성회를 열었느니라

13 ○On the second day of the month, the heads of all the families, along with the priests and the Levites, gathered around Ezra the scribe to give attention to the words of the Law.
14 They found written in the Law, which the Lord had commanded through Moses, that the Israelites were to live in booths during the feast of the seventh month
15 and that they should proclaim this word and spread it throughout their towns and in Jerusalem: "Go out into the hill country and bring back branches from olive and wild olive trees, and from myrtles, palms and shade trees, to make booths"-as it is written.
16 ○So the people went out and brought back branches and built themselves booths on their own roofs, in their courtyards, in the courts of the house of God and in the square by the Water Gate and the one by the Gate of Ephraim.
17 The whole company that had returned from exile built booths and lived in them. From the days of Joshua son of Nun until that day, the Israelites had not celebrated it like this. And their joy was very great.
18 ○Day after day, from the first day to the last, Ezra read from the Book of the Law of God. They celebrated the feast for seven days, and on the eighth day, in accordance with the regulation, there was an assembly.



13 And on the second<8145> day<3117> were gathered together<0622> the chief<7218> of the fathers<0001> of all the people<5971>, the priests<3548>, and the Levites<3881>, unto Ezra<5830> the scribe<5608>, even to understand<7919> the words<1697> of the law<8451>.
14 And they found<4672> written<3789> in the law<8451> which the LORD<3068> had commanded<6680> by<3027> Moses<4872>, that the children<1121> of Israel<3478> should dwell<3427> in booths<5521> in the feast<2282> of the seventh<7637> month<2320>:
15 And that they should publish<8085> and proclaim<5674><6963> in all their cities<5892>, and in Jerusalem<3389>, saying<0559>, Go forth<3318> unto the mount<2022>, and fetch<0935> olive<2132> branches<5929>, and pine<8081> branches<6086><5929>, and myrtle<1918> branches<5929>, and palm<8558> branches<5929>, and branches<5929> of thick<5687> trees<6086>, to make<6213> booths<5521>, as  it is  written<3789>.
16 So the people<5971> went forth<3318>, and brought<0935>  them , and made<6213> themselves booths<5521>, every one<0376> upon the roof of his house<1406>, and in their courts<2691>, and in the courts<2691> of the house<1004> of God<0430>, and in the street<7339> of the water<4325> gate<8179>, and in the street<7339> of the gate<8179> of Ephraim<0669>.
17 And all the congregation<6951> of them that were come again<7725> out of the captivity<7628> made<6213> booths<5521>, and sat<3427> under the booths<5521>: for since the days<3117> of Jeshua<3442> the son<1121> of Nun<5126> unto that day<3117> had not the children<1121> of Israel<3478> done so<6213>. And there was very<3966> great<1419> gladness<8057>.
18 Also day<3117> by day<3117>, from the first<7223> day<3117> unto the last<0314> day<3117>, he read<7121> in the book<5612> of the law<8451> of God<0430>. And they kept<6213> the feast<2282> seven<7651> days<3117>; and on the eighth<8066> day<3117>  was  a solemn assembly<6116>, according unto the manner<4941>.
