40 Pick the best fruit from your trees and cut leafy branches to use during the time of this joyous celebration in my honour.
41 I command you and all your descendants to celebrate this festival during the seventh month of each year.
42 For seven days every Israelite must live in a shelter,
43 so future generations will know that I made their ancestors live in shelters when I brought them out of Egypt. I am the Lord your God.
44 This is how Moses instructed the people of Israel to celebrate the Lord's festivals.
