40 On the first day gather branches from magnificent trees[a]—palm fronds, boughs from leafy trees, and willows that grow by the streams. Then celebrate with joy before the Lord your God for seven days. 41 You must observe this festival to the Lord for seven days every year. This is a permanent law for you, and it must be observed in the appointed month[b] from generation to generation. 42 For seven days you must live outside in little shelters. All native-born Israelites must live in shelters.
