³⁹ When you have harvested your fields, celebrate this festival for seven days, beginning on the fifteenth day of the seventh month.

This regulation is to be kept by your descendants for all time to come. ⁴² All the people of Israel shall live in shelters for seven days, ⁴³ so that your descendants may know that the Lord made the people of Israel live in simple shelters when he led them out of Egypt.
