Leviticus [Pertaining to Levites] 23:34-40

³⁴“Speak to the children of Israel God prevails, and say, ‘On the fifteenth day of this seventh month is the festival of Sukkot ·Booths· for seven days to Adonai .

³⁵On the first day shall be a holy convocation: you shall do no regular aboda ·service·.

³⁶Seven days you shall offer an offering made by fire to Adonai . On the eighth day shall be a holy convocation to you; and you shall offer an offering made by fire to Adonai . It is a solemn assembly; you shall do no regular aboda ·service·.

³⁷“‘These are the appointed feasts of Adonai , which you shall proclaim to be holy convocations, to offer an offering made by fire to Adonai , a burnt offering, and a meal offering, a sacrifice, and drink offerings, each on its own day;

³⁸besides the Sabbaths of Adonai , and besides your gifts, and besides all your vows, and besides all your free will offerings, which you give to Adonai .

³⁹“‘So on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you have gathered in the fruits of the land, you shall keep the festival of Adonai seven days: on the first day shall be a solemn rest, and on the eighth day shall be a solemn rest.

⁴⁰You shall take on the first day the fruit of goodly trees, branches of palm trees, and boughs of thick trees, and willows of the brook; and you shall rejoice before Adonai your God seven days.
