39 When you have harvested your fields, celebrate this festival for seven days, beginning on the fifteenth day of the seventh month. The first day shall be a special day of rest.
40 On that day take some of the best fruit from your trees, take palm branches and the branches of leafy trees, and begin a religious festival to honour the Lord your God.
41 Celebrate it for seven days. 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. He is the Lord your God.
44 So in this way Moses gave the people of Israel the regulations for observing the religious festivals to honour the Lord.
