John 7:2 - First Nations Version2 But now it was almost time for the Festival of Shelters in Village of Peace (Jerusalem), which all the tribes participated in. This festival was celebrated at the end of the harvest. The tribes were instructed to make temporary shelters from tree branches. In this way they remembered the time after they had been set free from their captivity in Black Land (Egypt), when their ancestors migrated in the desert wilderness under the care of the lawgiver, Drawn from the Water (Moses).
