Nehemiah 8:16 in Context — Nehemiah 8
14 E acharam escrito na lei que o SENHOR havia mandado por meio de Moisés, que os filhos de Israel habitassem em tendas na solenidade do mês sétimo;
15 Por isso eles anunciaram publicamente, e proclamaram por todas as suas cidades e por Jerusalém, dizendo: Saí ao monte, trazei ramos de oliveiras, e ramos de oliveiras silvestres, e ramos de murta, ramos de palmeiras, e ramos de toda árvore espessa, para fazer tendas como está escrito.
16 Saiu, pois, povo, e os trouxeram, e fizeram para si tendas, cada um sobre seu terraço, em seus pátios, nos pátios da casa de Deus, na praça da porta das Águas, e na praça da porta de Efraim.
17 E toda a congregação dos que voltaram do cativeiro fizeram tendas, e em tendas habitaram; porque os filhos de Israel, desde os dias de Josué filho de Num até aquele dia, não haviam feito assim. E houve alegria muito grande.
18 E a cada dia Esdras leu no livro da lei de Deus, desde o primeiro dia até o último; e celebraram a solenidade durante sete dias, e ao oitavo dia houve uma assembleia solene, conforme a ordenança.
