[23:6]  1 tn Heb “to this month.”

[23:28]  2 tn Heb “in the bone of this day.”

[23:28]  3 tn Heb “on you [plural]”; cf. NASB, NRSV “on your behalf.”

[23:34]  3 tn The rendering “booths” (cf. NAB, NASB, NRSV) is probably better than the traditional “tabernacles” in light of the meaning of the term סֻכָּה (sukkah, “hut, booth”), but “booths” are frequently associated with trade shows and craft fairs in contemporary American English. The nature of the celebration during this feast (see the following verses) as a commemoration of the wanderings of the Israelites after they left Egypt suggests that a translation like “temporary shelters” is more appropriate.
