Leviticus 23:34-44
New King James Version
34 “Speak to the children of Israel, saying: (A)‘The fifteenth day of this seventh month shall be the Feast of Tabernacles for seven days to the Lord. 35 On the first day there shall be a holy convocation. You shall do no customary work on it. 36 For seven days you shall offer an (B)offering made by fire to the Lord. (C)On the eighth day you shall have a holy convocation, and you shall offer an offering made by fire to the Lord. It is a (D)sacred[a] assembly, and you shall do no customary work on it.
37 (E)‘These are the feasts of the Lord which you shall proclaim to be holy convocations, to offer an offering made by fire to the Lord, a burnt offering and a grain offering, a sacrifice and drink offerings, everything on its day— 38 (F)besides the Sabbaths of the Lord, besides your gifts, besides all your vows, and besides all your freewill offerings which you give to the Lord.
39 ‘Also on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you have (G)gathered in the fruit of the land, you shall keep the feast of the Lord for seven days; on the first day there shall be a sabbath-rest, and on the eighth day a sabbath-rest. 40 And (H)you shall take for yourselves on the first day the [b]fruit of beautiful trees, branches of palm trees, the boughs of leafy trees, and willows of the brook; (I)and you shall rejoice before the Lord your God for seven days. 41 (J)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 (K)You shall dwell in [c]booths for seven days. (L)All who are native Israelites shall dwell in booths, 43 (M)that your generations may (N)know that I made the children of Israel dwell in booths when (O)I brought them out of the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.’ ”
44 So Moses (P)declared to the children of Israel the feasts of the Lord.

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.
