On the second day, the family heads of all the people, along with the priests and Levites, assembled before the scribe Ezra to study the words of the law.
Then all the people began to eat and drink, send portions, and have a great celebration, because they had understood the words that were explained to them.
They found written in the law how the Lord had commanded through Moses that the Israelites should dwell in shelters during the festival of the seventh month.
