So the people have fallen out of practice of worshiping the Lord, and they're digging back into the Scriptures to figure out what they're supposed to do. They're reading Leviticus, which none of us expect to be a festive book... and they discover that they're not celebrating an important festival. The festival of booths is meant to be celebrated to remember the harvest as well as the wandering in the wilderness. It's a time packed with meaning, and they'd been missing out on the party.
By studying the Scriptures, they learn of joy that they're missing in their lives by not living in accordance with how God calls them to live.
The same can be true for us -- the more we align ourselves with God's will, the more joy we'll have when we study God's Word and live in accordance with the way we're made.
