<t /><p class="bodytext">You must celebrate the Festival of Temporary Shelters<n id="1" /> for seven days, at the time of the grain and grape harvest.<n id="2" />

There must not be a scrap of yeast within your land<n id="1" /> for seven days, nor can any of the meat you sacrifice on the evening of the first day remain until the next morning.<n id="2" />

You must not eat any yeast with it; for seven days you must eat bread made without yeast, symbolic of affliction, for you came out of Egypt hurriedly. You must do this so you will remember for the rest of your life the day you came out of the land of Egypt.

You are to celebrate the festival seven days before the <sc>Lordsc> your God in the place he<n id="1" /> chooses, for he<n id="2" /> will bless you in all your productivity and in whatever you do;<n id="3" /> so you will indeed rejoice!
