8:14 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,
8:15 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.”
8:16 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.
8:17 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.

Colossians 1:1
Salutation
1:1 From Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy our brother,
Hebrews 11:13-16
11:13 These all died in faith without receiving the things promised,
but they saw them in the distance and welcomed them and acknowledged that they were strangers and foreigners
on the earth.
11:14 For those who speak in such a way make it clear that they are seeking a homeland.
11:15 In fact, if they had been thinking of the land that they had left, they would have had opportunity to return.
11:16 But as it is,
they aspire to a better land, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore, God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them.
