Nehemiah 8:17

Read Full Chapter
The whole assembly who had returned from exile made booths and lived in them. From the days of Joshua son of Nun until that day, the Israelites had not celebrated like this. And there was great rejoicing.
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
All the assembly of those who had come again out of the captivity made booths, and lived in the booths; for since the days of Jeshua the son of Nun to that day the children of Israel had not done so. There was very great gladness.
World English Bible (WEB)
And all the congregation{H6951} of them that were come again{H7725}{(H8802)} out of the captivity{H7628} made{H6213}{(H8799)} booths{H5521}, and sat{H3427}{(H8799)} under the booths{H5521}: for since the days{H3117} of Jeshua{H3442} the son{H1121} of Nun{H5126} unto that day{H3117} had not the children{H1121} of Israel{H3478} done so{H6213}{(H8804)}. And there was very{H3966} great{H1419} gladness{H8057}.
Strong's King James
The entire assembly of those who had returned from the captivity made Sukkot-shelters and lived in the Sukkot-shelters. The sons of Isra'el hadn't done so from the days of Yeshua the son of Nun to that day. So this event was an extremely great jubilation.
The F.O.G
The F.O.G Paraphrase
And they make—all the assembly of the captives of the captivity—booths, and they sit in booths; for the sons of Israel had not done, from the days of Jeshua son of Nun, so unto that day, and there is very great joy.
