39 But in the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when ye have gathered in the fruit of the land, ye shall keep an holy feast unto the Lord seven days: in the first day shall be a [a]Sabbath: likewise in the eighth day shall be a Sabbath.

40 And ye shall take you in the first day the fruit of goodly trees, branches of palm trees, and the boughs of [b]thick trees, and willows of the brook, and shall rejoice before the Lord your God seven days.

41 So ye shall keep this feast unto the Lord seven days in the year, by a perpetual ordinance through your generations: in the seventh month shall you keep it.
