Deuteronomy 16:13-17 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

13. “Perform the Festival of Booths for seven days after the ingathering from your threshing-floor and from your winepress,

14. and you shall rejoice in your festival, you and your son and your daughter, and your male servant and your female servant, and the Lĕwite, and the stranger and the fatherless and the widow who are within your gates.

15. “For seven days you shall observe a festival to יהוה your Elohim in the place which יהוה chooses, because יהוה your Elohim does bless you in all your increase and in all the work of your hands, and you shall be only rejoicing!

16. “Three times a year all your males appear before יהוה your Elohim in the place which He chooses: at the Festival of Unleavened Bread, and at the Festival of Weeks, and at the Festival of Booths. And none should appear before יהוה empty-handed,

17. but each one with the gift of his hand, according to the blessing of יהוה your Elohim which He has given you.
