On the second day the leaders of the families of all the people, including the priests and the Levites, met with Ezra the scribe to study the words of God’s Teachings.
Then all the people went to eat and drink and to send portions. They had a big, joyful celebration because they understood the words that had been explained to them.
They found written in the Teachings that the Lord had given an order through Moses that the people of Israel should live in booths during a festival in the seventh month.
