(8-17) Maka pergilah orang mengambil daun-daun itu, lalu membuat pondok-pondok, masing-masing di atas atap rumahnya, di pekarangan mereka, juga di pelataran-pelataran rumah Allah, di lapangan pintu gerbang Air dan di lapangan pintu gerbang Efraim.
Maka sebab itu dimaklumkannyalah dan disuruhnya berseru-seru berkeliling dalam segala negerinya dan di Yeruzalem, katanya: Hendaklah kamu keluar ke pegunungan, ambilkanlah dari sana cabang-cabang pokok zait dan cabang pokok zait hutan dan cabang pokok murd dan pelepah pokok kurma dan cabang segala pokok yang lebat daunnya akan diperbuatkan pondok daun-daun seperti yang tersurat itu.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
So the people went forth, and brought them,.... Went out of Jerusalem to the mountains adjacent, and fetched in branches of the said trees, one or another:
and made themselves booths, everyone upon the roof of his house; which were flat, Deuteronomy 22:8, and they might be made anywhere, so be it they were open to the air:
and in their courts, and in the courts of the house of God; the common people in the courtyards belonging to their houses, and the priests and Levites in the courts of the temple, the yards or open places adjoining to them:
and in the street of the watergate; which led to that, and seems to have been a very large street, in which many booths might be built, Nehemiah 3:26
and in the street of the gate of Ephraim; which led to the gate through which the road lay to the tribe of Ephraim, see 2 Kings 14:13, none were erected without the walls of the city, for fear of the enemy.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 16. Upon the roof of his house — It need scarcely be repeated, that the houses in the East are generally built with flat roofs. On these they reposed; on these they took the air in the heats of summer; and on these they oftentimes slept.
