Leviticus 23:40-43
New King James Version
40 And (A)you shall take for yourselves on the first day the [a]fruit of beautiful trees, branches of palm trees, the boughs of leafy trees, and willows of the brook; (B)and you shall rejoice before the Lord your God for seven days. 41 (C)You shall keep it as a feast to the Lord for seven days in the year. It shall be a statute forever in your generations. You shall celebrate it in the seventh month. 42 (D)You shall dwell in [b]booths for seven days. (E)All who are native Israelites shall dwell in booths, 43 (F)that your generations may (G)know that I made the children of Israel dwell in booths when (H)I brought them out of the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.’ ”
