Then it will come about that any who are left of all the nations that came against Jerusalem will go up from year to year to worship the King, the Lord of armies, and to celebrate the Feast of Booths.And it will be that whichever of the families of the earth does not go up to Jerusalem to worship the King, the Lord of armies, there will be no rain on them.And if the family of Egypt does not go up or enter, then no rain will fall on them; it will be the plague with which the Lord strikes the nations that do not go up to celebrate the Feast of Booths.This will be the punishment of Egypt, and the punishment of all the nations that do not go up to celebrate the Feast of Booths.

“ Speak to the sons of Israel, saying,‘ On the fifteenth of this seventh month is the Feast of Booths for seven days to the Lord.On the first day is a holy convocation; you shall not do any laborious work.For seven days you shall present an offering by fire to the Lord. On the eighth day you shall have a holy convocation and present an offering by fire to the Lord; it is an assembly. You shall not do any laborious work.‘ These are the appointed times of the Lord which you shall proclaim as holy convocations, to present offerings by fire to the Lord— burnt offerings and grain offerings, sacrifices and drink offerings, each day’s matter on its own day—besides those of the Sabbaths of the Lord, and besides your gifts and besides all your vowed and voluntary offerings, which you give to the Lord.‘ On exactly the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you have gathered in the crops of the land, you shall celebrate the feast of the Lord for seven days, with a rest on the first day and a rest on the eighth day.Now on the first day you shall take for yourselves the foliage of beautiful trees, palm branches and branches of trees with thick branches and willows of the brook, and you shall rejoice before the Lord your God for seven days.So you shall celebrate it as a feast to the Lord for seven days in the year. It shall be a permanent statute throughout your generations; you shall celebrate it in the seventh month.You shall live in booths for seven days; all the native born in Israel shall live in booths,so that your generations may know that I had the sons of Israel live in booths when I brought them out from the land of Egypt. I am the Lord your God.’ ”

‘ Then on the fifteenth day of the seventh month you shall have a holy assembly; you shall do no laborious work, and you shall celebrate with a feast to the Lord for seven days.You shall present a burnt offering, an offering by fire as a soothing aroma to the Lord: thirteen bulls, two rams, and fourteen male lambs one year old, which are without defect;and their grain offering, fine flour mixed with oil: three tenths of an ephah for each of the thirteen bulls, two tenths for each of the two rams,and a tenth for each of the fourteen lambs;and one male goat as a sin offering, besides the continual burnt offering, its grain offering, and its drink offering.‘ Then on the second day: twelve bulls, two rams, and fourteen male lambs one year old without defect;and their grain offering and their drink offerings for the bulls, for the rams, and for the lambs, by their number according to the ordinance;and one male goat as a sin offering, besides the continual burnt offering and its grain offering, and their drink offerings.‘ Then on the third day: eleven bulls, two rams, and fourteen male lambs one year old without defect;and their grain offering and their drink offerings for the bulls, for the rams, and for the lambs, by their number according to the ordinance;and one male goat as a sin offering, besides the continual burnt offering and its grain offering, and its drink offering.‘ Then on the fourth day: ten bulls, two rams, and fourteen male lambs one year old without defect;their grain offering and their drink offerings for the bulls, for the rams, and for the lambs, by their number according to the ordinance;and one male goat as a sin offering, besides the continual burnt offering, its grain offering, and its drink offering.‘ Then on the fifth day: nine bulls, two rams, and fourteen male lambs one year old without defect;and their grain offering and their drink offerings for the bulls, for the rams, and for the lambs, by their number according to the ordinance;and one male goat as a sin offering, besides the continual burnt offering and its grain offering, and its drink offering.‘ Then on the sixth day: eight bulls, two rams, and fourteen male lambs one year old without defect;and their grain offering and their drink offerings for the bulls, for the rams, and for the lambs, by their number according to the ordinance;and one male goat as a sin offering, besides the continual burnt offering, its grain offering, and its drink offerings.‘ Then on the seventh day: seven bulls, two rams, and fourteen male lambs one year old without defect;and their grain offering and their drink offerings for the bulls, for the rams, and for the lambs, by their number according to the ordinance;and one male goat as a sin offering, besides the continual burnt offering, its grain offering, and its drink offering.‘ On the eighth day you shall have a sacred assembly; you shall do no laborious work.But you shall present a burnt offering, an offering by fire, as a soothing aroma to the Lord: one bull, one ram, and seven male lambs one year old without defect;their grain offering and their drink offerings for the bull, for the ram, and for the lambs, by their number according to the ordinance;and one male goat as a sin offering, besides the continual burnt offering and its grain offering, and its drink offering.

Also you shall keep the Feast of the Harvest of the first fruits of your labors from what you sow in the field; also the Feast of the Ingathering at the end of the year when you gather in the fruit of your labors from the field.Three times a year all your males shall appear before the Lord God.

“ You shall celebrate the Feast of Booths for seven days when you have gathered in from your threshing floor and your wine vat;and you shall rejoice in your feast, you, your son and your daughter, and your male and female slaves, and the Levite, the stranger, the orphan, and the widow who are in your towns.For seven days you shall celebrate a feast to the Lord your God in the place which the Lord chooses, because the Lord your God will bless you in all your produce and in all the work of your hands, so that you will be altogether joyful.“ Three times a year all your males shall appear before the Lord your God at the place which He chooses: at the Feast of Unleavened Bread, at the Feast of Weeks, and at the Feast of Booths; and they are not to appear before the Lord empty handed.

And they found written in the Law how the Lord had commanded through Moses that the sons of Israel were to live in booths during the feast of the seventh month.And that they were to proclaim and circulate a proclamation in all their cities and in Jerusalem, saying,“ Go out to the hills, and bring olive branches and wild olive branches, myrtle branches, palm branches, and branches of other trees with thick branches, to make booths, as it is written.”So the people went out and brought them and made booths for themselves, each on his roof, and in their courtyards and in the courtyards of the house of God, and in the public square at the Water Gate, and in the square at the Gate of Ephraim.The entire assembly of those who had returned from the captivity made booths and lived in the booths. Indeed, the sons of Israel had not done so since the days of Joshua the son of Nun to that day. And there was very great rejoicing.He read from the Book of the Law of God daily, from the first day to the last day. And they celebrated the feast seven days, and on the eighth day there was a festive assembly in accordance with the ordinance.

And on the eighth day they held a solemn assembly, because they held the dedication of the altar for seven days, and the feast for seven days.Then on the twenty third day of the seventh month he sent the people to their tents, rejoicing and happy in heart because of the goodness that the Lord had shown to David, to Solomon, and to His people Israel.

They also celebrated the Feast of Booths, as it is written, and offered the prescribed number of burnt offerings daily, according to the ordinance, as each day required;

So Solomon held the feast at that time, and all Israel with him, a great assembly from the entrance of Hamath to the brook of Egypt, before the Lord our God, for seven days and seven more days, that is, fourteen days.

So all the men of Israel assembled themselves before King Solomon at the feast, in the month Ethanim, that is, the seventh month.
