On the second day of the month the family leaders met with Ezra the scribe, together with all the people, the priests, and the Levites, to consider the words of the law.They discovered written in the law that the LORD had commanded through Moses that the Israelites should live in temporary shelters during the festival of the seventh month,and that they should make a proclamation and disseminate this message in all their cities and in Jerusalem:“ Go to the hill country and bring back olive branches and branches of wild olive trees, myrtle trees, date palms, and other leafy trees to construct temporary shelters, as it is written.”So the people went out and brought these things back and constructed temporary shelters for themselves, each on his roof and in his courtyard and in the courtyards of the temple of God and in the plaza of the Water Gate and the plaza of the Ephraim Gate.So all the assembly which had returned from the exile constructed temporary shelters and lived in them. The Israelites had not done so from the days of Joshua son of Nun until that day. Everyone experienced very great joy.Ezra read in the book of the law of God day by day, from the first day to the last. They observed the festival for seven days, and on the eighth day they held an assembly as was required.

( 5: 1) Solomon ruled all the kingdoms from the Euphrates River to the land of the Philistines, as far as the border of Egypt.

“ Tell the Israelites,‘ On the fifteenth day of this seventh month is the Festival of Temporary Shelters for seven days to the LORD.On the first day is a holy assembly; you must do no regular work.For seven days you must present a gift to the LORD. On the eighth day there is to be a holy assembly for you, and you must present a gift to the LORD. It is a solemn assembly day; you must not do any regular work.“‘ These are the appointed times of the LORD that you must proclaim as holy assemblies to present a gift to the LORD– burnt offering, grain offering, sacrifice, and drink offerings, each day according to its regulation,besides the Sabbaths of the LORD and all your gifts, votive offerings, and freewill offerings which you must give to the LORD.“‘ On the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you gather in the produce of the land, you must celebrate a pilgrim festival of the LORD for seven days. On the first day is a complete rest and on the eighth day is complete rest.On the first day you must take for yourselves branches from majestic trees– palm branches, branches of leafy trees, and willows of the brook– and you must rejoice before the LORD your God for seven days.You must celebrate it as a pilgrim festival to the LORD for seven days in the year. This is a perpetual statute throughout your generations; you must celebrate it in the seventh month.You must live in temporary shelters for seven days; every native citizen in Israel must live in temporary shelters,so that your future generations may know that I made the Israelites live in temporary shelters when I brought them out from the land of Egypt. I am the LORD your God.’”

Now the Jewish feast of Tabernacles was near.

“ Look! I am about to bring a nation against you, family of Israel.” The LORD, the God who commands armies, is speaking.“ They will oppress you all the way from Lebo-Hamath to the Stream of the Arabah.”

But we know where this man comes from. Whenever the Christ comes, no one will know where he comes from.”Then Jesus, while teaching in the temple courts, cried out,“ You both know me and know where I come from! And I have not come on my own initiative, but the one who sent me is true. You do not know him,but I know him, because I have come from him and he sent me.”So then they tried to seize Jesus, but no one laid a hand on him, because his time had not yet come.Yet many of the crowd believed in him and said,“ Whenever the Christ comes, he won’t perform more miraculous signs than this man did, will he?”The Pharisees heard the crowd murmuring these things about Jesus, so the chief priests and the Pharisees sent officers to arrest him.Then Jesus said,“ I will be with you for only a little while longer, and then I am going to the one who sent me.You will look for me but will not find me, and where I am you cannot come.”Then the Jewish leaders said to one another,“ Where is he going to go that we cannot find him? He is not going to go to the Jewish people dispersed among the Greeks and teach the Greeks, is he?What did he mean by saying,‘ You will look for me but will not find me, and where I am you cannot come’?”On the last day of the feast, the greatest day, Jesus stood up and shouted out,“ If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me, andlet the one who believes in me drink. Just as the scripture says,‘ From within him will flow rivers of living water.’”( Now he said this about the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were going to receive, for the Spirit had not yet been given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.)

A huge crowd assembled in Jerusalem to observe the Feast of Unleavened Bread in the second month.

You must celebrate the Festival of Temporary Shelters for seven days, at the time of the grain and grape harvest.You are to rejoice in your festival, you, your son, your daughter, your male and female slaves, the Levites, the resident foreigners, the orphans, and the widows who are in your villages.You are to celebrate the festival seven days before the LORD your God in the place he chooses, for he will bless you in all your productivity and in whatever you do; so you will indeed rejoice!

Then all who survive from all the nations that came to attack Jerusalem will go up annually to worship the King, the LORD who rules over all, and to observe the Feast of Tabernacles.But if any of the nations anywhere on earth refuse to go up to Jerusalem to worship the King, the LORD who rules over all, they will get no rain.If the Egyptians will not do so, they will get no rain– instead there will be the kind of plague which the LORD inflicts on any nations that do not go up to celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles.This will be the punishment of Egypt and of all nations that do not go up to celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles.
