34 ”Säg till israeliterna: ’Lövhyddefesten ska firas på femtonde dagen, också i den sjunde månaden. Den ska firas inför Herren under sju dagar. 35 Den första dagen är en helig sammankomst. Arbeta inte den dagen. 36 Under sju dagar ska ni bära fram eldoffer till Herren och på den åttonde dagen ska det vara en helig sammankomst och bäras fram ett eldoffer till Herren. Detta är en högtidssamling då inget arbete är tillåtet.

37 Dessa är alltså Herrens högtider som ska utlysas som heliga sammankomster och då eldoffer ska bäras fram till Herren, liksom brännoffer och matoffer, slaktoffer och dryckesoffer varje dag i enlighet med föreskrifterna. 38 Därtill kommer Herrens sabbater och era gåvor, löften och era frivilliga offer som ni ger åt Herren.

39 På femtonde dagen i den sjunde månaden, vid slutet av er skördetid, ska ni fira en högtid under sju dagar inför Herren. Den första och den åttonde dagen i högtiden är vilodagar. 40 Den första dagen ska ni ta frukt från era praktfulla träd liksom palmkvistar och lövrika grenar och pilkvistar och sedan glädja er inför Herren, er Gud, i sju dagar. 41 Fira denna årliga Herrens sjudagarshögtid från generation till generation som en bestående stadga alltid i sjunde månaden. 42 Under dessa sju dagar ska ni israeliter alla bo i hyddor 43 för att era efterkommande ska känna till att jag ledde israeliterna ut ur Egypten och lät dem då bo i hyddor. Jag är Herren, er Gud.’ ”

44 Mose talade så till Israels folk om dessa Herrens högtider.

34 “Say to the Israelites: ‘On the fifteenth day of the seventh(A) month the Lord’s Festival of Tabernacles(B) begins, and it lasts for seven days. 35 The first day is a sacred assembly;(C) do no regular work.(D) 36 For seven days present food offerings to the Lord, and on the eighth day hold a sacred assembly(E) and present a food offering to the Lord.(F) It is the closing special assembly; do no regular work.

37 (“‘These are the Lord’s appointed festivals, which you are to proclaim as sacred assemblies for bringing food offerings to the Lord—the burnt offerings and grain offerings, sacrifices and drink offerings(G) required for each day. 38 These offerings(H) are in addition to those for the Lord’s Sabbaths(I) and[a] in addition to your gifts and whatever you have vowed and all the freewill offerings(J) you give to the Lord.)

39 “‘So beginning with the fifteenth day of the seventh month, after you have gathered the crops of the land, celebrate the festival(K) to the Lord for seven days;(L) the first day is a day of sabbath rest, and the eighth day also is a day of sabbath rest. 40 On the first day you are to take branches(M) from luxuriant trees—from palms, willows and other leafy trees(N)—and rejoice(O) before the Lord your God for seven days. 41 Celebrate this as a festival to the Lord for seven days each year. This is to be a lasting ordinance for the generations to come; celebrate it in the seventh month. 42 Live in temporary shelters(P) for seven days: All native-born Israelites are to live in such shelters 43 so your descendants will know(Q) that I had the Israelites live in temporary shelters when I brought them out of Egypt. I am the Lord your God.’”

44 So Moses announced to the Israelites the appointed festivals of the Lord.

34 “Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, ‘The fifteenth day of this seventh month shall be the Feast of Tabernacles for seven days unto the Lord.

35 On the first day shall be a holy convocation; ye shall do no servile work therein.

36 Seven days ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the Lord. On the eighth day shall be a holy convocation unto you, and ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the Lord. It is a solemn assembly, and ye shall do no servile work therein.

37 “‘These are the feasts of the Lord which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, to offer an offering made by fire unto the Lord, a burnt offering and a meat offering, a sacrifice and drink offerings, every thing upon his day”

38 besides the Sabbaths of the Lord, and besides your gifts, and besides all your vows, and besides all your freewill offerings which ye give unto the Lord.

39 “‘Also on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when ye have gathered in the fruit of the land, ye shall keep a feast unto the Lord seven days; on the first day shall be a sabbath, and on the eighth day shall be a sabbath.

40 And ye shall take for yourselves on the first day the boughs of goodly trees, branches of palm trees, and the boughs of thick trees, and willows of the brook; and ye shall rejoice before the Lord your God seven days.

41 And ye shall keep it a feast unto the Lord seven days in the year. It shall be a statute for ever in your generations; ye shall celebrate it in the seventh month.

42 Ye shall dwell in booths seven days; all that are Israelites born shall dwell in booths,

43 that your generations may know that I made the children of Israel to dwell in booths when I brought them out of the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.’”

44 And Moses declared unto the children of Israel the feasts of the Lord.
