Leviticus 23:33-44
1599 Geneva Bible
33 ¶ And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
34 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say, (A)In the fifteenth day of this seventh month shall be for seven days the feast of Tabernacles unto the Lord.
35 In the first day shall be an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein.
36 Seven days ye shall offer (B)sacrifice made by fire unto the Lord, and in the eighth day shall be an holy convocation unto you, and ye shall offer sacrifices made by fire unto the Lord: it is the [a]solemn assembly, ye shall do no servile work therein.
37 These are the feasts of the Lord (which ye shall call holy convocations) to offer sacrifice made by fire unto the Lord, as burnt offering, and meat offering, [b]sacrifice, and drink offerings, every one upon his day,
38 Beside the Sabbaths of the Lord, and beside your gifts, and beside all your vows, and beside all your free offerings, which ye shall give unto the Lord.
39 But in the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when ye have gathered in the fruit of the land, ye shall keep an holy feast unto the Lord seven days: in the first day shall be a [c]Sabbath: likewise in the eighth day shall be a Sabbath.
40 And ye shall take you in the first day the fruit of goodly trees, branches of palm trees, and the boughs of [d]thick trees, and willows of the brook, and shall rejoice before the Lord your God seven days.
41 So ye shall keep this feast unto the Lord seven days in the year, by a perpetual ordinance through your generations: in the seventh month shall you keep it.
42 Ye shall dwell in booths seven days: all that are Israelites born, shall dwell in booths,
43 That your posterity may know that I have made the children of Israel to dwell in [e]booths, when I brought them out of the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.
44 So Moses declared unto the children of Israel the feasts of the Lord.
