40. On the first day you shall gather fruit of majestic trees, branches of palms, and boughs of leafy trees and valley willows. Then for a week you shall make merry before the Lord, your God.
41. You shall keep this feast of the Lord for one whole week in the year. By perpetual statute throughout your generations in the seventh month of the year, you shall keep it.
42. You shall dwell in booths for seven days; every native-born Israelite shall dwell in booths,
43. that your descendants may realize that, when I led the Israelites out of the land of Egypt, I made them dwell in booths. I, the Lord, am your God.
44. Thus did Moses announce to the Israelites the festivals of the Lord.
