The Bible reports: “All the congregation of those who had come back from the captivity made booths and took up dwelling in the booths; for the sons of Israel had not done that way from the days of Joshua the son of Nun until that day, so that there came to be very great rejoicing. ” — Nehemiah 8: 17.
Piibel annab teada: ” Terve kogudus, kes vangist oli tagasi tulnud, tegi lehtmaju ja elas lehtmajades, sest Joosua, Nuuni poja päevist selle päevani ei olnud Iisraeli lapsed nõnda teinud. Ja rõõm oli väga suur ”.
