Nehemiah 8:13 in Context — Nehemiah 8
11 Les Lévites calmaient tout le peuple, en disant: Taisez-vous, car ce jour est saint; ne vous affligez pas!
12 Et tout le peuple s’en alla pour manger et boire, pour envoyer des portions, et pour se livrer à de grandes réjouissances. Car ils avaient compris les paroles qu’on leur avait expliquées.
13 Le second jour, les chefs de famille de tout le peuple, les sacrificateurs et les Lévites, s’assemblèrent auprès d’Esdras, le scribe, pour entendre l’explication des paroles de la loi.
14 Et ils trouvèrent écrit dans la loi que l’Éternel avait prescrite par Moïse, que les enfants d’Israël devaient habiter sous des tentes pendant la fête du septième mois,
15 et proclamer cette publication dans toutes leurs villes et à Jérusalem: Allez chercher à la montagne des rameaux d’olivier, des rameaux d’olivier sauvage, des rameaux de myrte, des rameaux de palmier, et des rameaux d’arbres touffus, pour faire des tentes, comme il est écrit.
