13 (F)You shall [f]celebrate the Feast of [g]Booths for seven days when you have gathered in from your threshing floor and your wine vat; 14 and you shall (G)rejoice in your feast, you, your son and your daughter, and your male and female slaves, and the Levite, the stranger, the [h]orphan, and the widow who are in your [i]towns.
