Nehemías 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.

Nehemías 8:17 In-Context

15 y pregonar en todas sus ciudades y en Jerusalén esta orden: «Vayan a la montaña y traigan ramas de olivo, de olivo silvestre, de arrayán, de palmera y de todo árbol frondoso, para hacer enramadas, conforme a lo que está escrito».
16 De modo que la gente fue y trajo ramas, y con ellas hizo enramadas en las azoteas, en los patios, en el atrio del templo de Dios, en la plaza de la puerta del Agua y en la plaza de la puerta de Efraín.
17 Toda la asamblea de los que habían regresado del cautiverio hicieron enramadas y habitaron en ellas. Como los israelitas no habían hecho esto desde los días de Josué hijo de Nun, hicieron una gran fiesta.
18 Todos los días, desde el primero hasta el último, se leyó el libro de la ley de Dios. Celebraron la fiesta durante siete días, y en el día octavo hubo una asamblea solemne, según lo ordenado.
