162:4.4 On the last day of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sukkot the feast] almost four hundred and fifty [[priests]] with a corresponding number of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levites Levites] officiated. At daybreak the [[pilgrims]] assembled from all parts of the [[city]], each carrying in the right hand a sheaf of myrtle, willow, and palm branches, while in the left hand each one carried a branch of the paradise apple—the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citron citron], or the " forbidden fruit.
