Nehemiah 8:13-15

13 And on the second day were gathered together the chief of the fathers of all the people, the priests, and the Levites, unto Ezra the scribe, even to understand[a] the words of the law.
14 And they found written in the law which the LORD had commanded by[b] Moses, that the children of Israel should dwell in booths in the feast of the seventh month:
15 And that they should publish and proclaim* in all their cities, and in Jerusalem, saying, Go forth unto the mount, and fetch olive branches, and pine branches*, and myrtle branches, and palm branches, and branches of thick trees, to make booths, as it is written.
