The Feast of Booths

^13 (A)“You shall keep the Feast of Booths seven days, when you have gathered in the produce from your threshing floor and your winepress.

¹⁶ You shall keep ^(A)the Feast of Harvest, of the firstfruits of your labor, of what you sow in the field. You shall keep the ^(B)Feast of Ingathering at the end of the year, when you gather in from the field the fruit of your labor.

³ And all the men of Israel assembled before the king at the feast that is in the seventh month.

³⁴ “Speak to the people of Israel, saying, ^(A)On the fifteenth day of this seventh month and for seven days is the Feast of Booths^[a] to the Lord. ³⁵ On the first day shall be a holy convocation; you shall not do any ordinary work. ³⁶ For seven days you shall present food offerings to the Lord. ^(B)On the eighth day you shall hold a holy convocation and present a food offering to the Lord. It is a ^(C)solemn assembly; you shall not do any ordinary work.

² Now ^(A)the Jews' Feast of ^(B)Booths was at hand.

¹⁶ Then everyone who survives of all the nations that have come against Jerusalem ^(A)shall go up year after year to worship ^(B)the King, the Lord of hosts, and ^(C)to keep ^(D)the Feast of Booths. ¹⁷ And if ^(E)any of the families of the earth do not go up to Jerusalem to worship ^(F)the King, the Lord of hosts, ^(G)there will be no rain on them. ¹⁸ And if the family of Egypt does not go up and present themselves, then on them there shall be no rain;^[a] there shall be ^(H)the plague with which the Lord afflicts the nations that do not go up ^(I)to keep the Feast of Booths.

¹⁴ And they found it written in the Law that the Lord had commanded by Moses ^(A)that the people of Israel should dwell in booths^[a] during the feast of the seventh month, ¹⁵ and that they should proclaim it and ^(B)publish it in all their towns and ^(C)in Jerusalem, “Go out to the hills and bring ^(D)branches of olive, wild olive, myrtle, palm, and other leafy trees to make booths, as it is written.” ¹⁶ So the people went out and brought them and made booths for themselves, each ^(E)on his roof, and in their courts and in the courts of the house of God, and in the square at ^(F)the Water Gate and in the square at ^(G)the Gate of Ephraim. ¹⁷ And all the assembly of those who had returned from the captivity made booths and lived in the booths, for from the days of Jeshua the son of Nun to that day ^(H)the people of Israel had not done so. And there was ^(I)very great rejoicing. ¹⁸ And day by day, from the first day to the last day, ^(J)he read from the Book of the Law of God. They kept the feast seven days, and ^(K)on the eighth day there was a solemn assembly, according to the rule.

^4 (A)And they kept the Feast of Booths, ^(B)as it is written, ^(C)and offered the daily burnt offerings by number according to the rule, as each day required,

^13 (A)as the duty of each day required, offering ^(B)according to the commandment of Moses for the Sabbaths, the new moons, and the ^(C)three annual feasts—the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the Feast of Weeks, and the Feast of Booths.
