Leviticus 23:33-44
New American Standard Bible
33 Again the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 34 “Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, ‘On (A)the fifteenth of this [a]seventh month is the (B)Feast of Booths for seven days to the Lord. 35 On the first day is a holy convocation; you shall (C)not do any laborious work. 36 (D)For seven days you shall present an offering by fire to the Lord. On (E)the eighth day you shall have a holy convocation and present an offering by fire to the Lord; it is an assembly. You shall not do any laborious work.
37 ‘These are (F)the appointed times of the Lord which you shall proclaim as holy convocations, to present offerings by fire to the Lord—burnt offerings and grain offerings, sacrifices and drink offerings, (G)each day’s matter on its own day— 38 besides those of the Sabbaths of the Lord, and besides your gifts and besides all your [b]vowed and [c]voluntary offerings, which you give to the Lord.
39 ‘On exactly the fifteenth day of the seventh month, (H)when you have gathered in the crops of the land, you shall celebrate the feast of the Lord for seven days, with a [d]rest on the first day and a [e]rest on the eighth day. 40 Now on the first day you shall take for yourselves the [f]foliage of beautiful trees, palm branches and branches of trees with thick branches and willows of the brook, and you shall rejoice before the Lord your God for seven days. 41 So you shall celebrate it as a feast to the Lord for seven days in the year. It shall be a permanent statute throughout your generations; you shall celebrate it in the seventh month. 42 You shall live (I)in booths for seven days; all the native-born in Israel shall live in booths, 43 so that (J)your generations may know that I had the sons of Israel live in booths when I brought them out from the land of Egypt. I am the Lord your God.’” 44 So Moses declared to the sons of Israel (K)the appointed times of the Lord.

The Feast of Booths
33 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 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.
37 (D)“These are the appointed feasts of the Lord, which you shall proclaim as times of holy convocation, for presenting to the Lord food offerings, burnt offerings and grain offerings, sacrifices and drink offerings, each on its proper day, 38 (E)besides the Lord's Sabbaths and besides your gifts and besides all your vow offerings and besides all your freewill offerings, which you give to the Lord.
39 “On the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you have (F)gathered in the produce of the land, you shall celebrate the feast of the Lord seven days. On the first day shall be a solemn rest, and on the eighth day shall be a solemn rest. 40 And (G)you shall take on the first day the fruit of splendid trees, branches of palm trees and boughs of leafy trees and willows of the brook, and (H)you shall rejoice before the Lord your God seven days. 41 (I)You shall celebrate it as a feast to the Lord for seven days in the year. It is a statute forever throughout your generations; you shall celebrate it in the seventh month. 42 (J)You shall dwell in booths for seven days. All native Israelites shall dwell in booths, 43 that (K)your generations may know that I made the people of Israel dwell in booths when I brought them out of the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.”
44 Thus Moses (L)declared to the people of Israel the appointed feasts of the Lord.
