Leviticus 23:39-43 ▼

39 |On the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you've harvested the produce of the land, you are to observe the festival of the LORD for seven days. The first day is to be a Sabbath rest, and the eighth day also is to be a Sabbath rest.

40 |On the first day, take branches from impressive fruit trees, branches from palm trees, boughs from thick trees, and poplars from the brooks. Then you are to rejoice in the presence of the LORD your God for seven days.

41 Observe it as a pilgrimage festival in the presence of the LORD for seven days of the year. This is to be an eternal ordinance throughout your generations. Observe the festival during the seventh month.

42 You are to live in tents for seven days. Every native born of Israel is to live in tents

43 in order for your future generations to know that the Israelis lived in tents when I brought them out of the land of Egypt. I am the LORD your God.|
