Neemia 8:17

Listen to Neemia 8:17
17 E così tutta la raunanza di coloro ch’erano ritornati dalla cattività fece de’ tabernacoli, e vi dimorò; perciocchè, dal tempo di Giosuè, figliuolo di Nun, infino a quel giorno, i figliuoli d’Israele, non aveano fatto nulla di simigliante; e vi fu grandissima allegrezza.

Neemia 8:17 Meaning and Commentary

Nehemiah 8:17

And all the congregation of them that were come again out of
captivity made booths
These came to Jerusalem, and made them booths there; for there only was this feast kept, see ( John 7:2 John 7:10 ) ,

and sat under the booths;
there they dwelt during the seven days of it, in commemoration of their ancestors dwelling in booths in the wilderness, see ( Leviticus 23:42 Leviticus 23:43 )

for since the days of Jeshua the son of Nun unto that day had not the
children of Israel done so;
Joshua observed it, when be had brought and settled the people of Israel in the land of Canaan; and it had been observed since, before this time, as appears from ( 1 Kings 8:2 1 Kings 8:65 1 Kings 8:66 ) ( Ezra 3:4 ) ; but not so, with such exactness, with such zeal and affection, with such a regard to the law of God, as to read it every day of the feast, as in the next verse, and with such joy and gladness; wherefore there is no reason to suspect a corruption in the text, as a learned man F23 does, who supposes that Joshua is put for Josiah:

and there was very great gladness;
that they were restored unto and settled in their land, had the book of the law, and the knowledge of it, and were directed and enabled to observe it.

Neemia 8:17 In-Context

15 Fecero adunque andare un bando per tutte le città loro, e in Gerusalemme; dicendo: Uscite fuori al monte, e portatene rami di ulivo, e d’altri alberi oliosi, e di mirto, e di palma, e d’altri alberi folti, per far tabernacoli, come è scritto.
16 Il popolo adunque uscì fuori, e portò de’ rami, e si fecero de’ tabernacoli, ciascuno sopra il suo tetto, e ne’ lor cortili, e ne’ cortili della Casa di Dio, e nella piazza della porta delle acque, e nella piazza della porta di Efraim.
17 E così tutta la raunanza di coloro ch’erano ritornati dalla cattività fece de’ tabernacoli, e vi dimorò; perciocchè, dal tempo di Giosuè, figliuolo di Nun, infino a quel giorno, i figliuoli d’Israele, non aveano fatto nulla di simigliante; e vi fu grandissima allegrezza.
18 Ed Esdra lesse nel libro della Legge di Dio per ciascun giorno, dal primo giorno fino all’ultimo; e si celebrò la festa per lo spazio di sette giorni, e nell’ottavo giorno vi fu raunanza solenne, secondo ch’egli è ordinato.
