He<n id="1" /> commanded them: &#8220;At the end of seven years, at the appointed time of the cancellation of debts,<n id="2" /> at the Feast of Temporary Shelters,<n id="3" />

&#8220;Tell the Israelites, &#8216;On the fifteenth day of this seventh month is the Festival of Temporary Shelters<n id="1" /> for seven days to the <sc>Lordsc>.

He observed the daily requirements for sacrifices that Moses had specified for Sabbaths, new moon festivals, and the three annual celebrations &#8211; the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the Feast of Weeks, and the Feast of Temporary Shelters.<n id="1" />

They observed the Festival of Temporary Shelters<n id="1" /> as required<n id="2" /> and offered the proper number of<n id="3" /> daily burnt offerings according to the requirement for each day.

This will be the punishment of Egypt and of all nations that do not go up to celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles.p>

Three times a year all your males must appear before the <sc>Lordsc> your God in the place he chooses for the Festival of Unleavened Bread, the Festival of Weeks, and the Festival of Temporary Shelters; and they must not appear before him<n id="1" /> empty-handed.

<p class="bodytext">Then all who survive from all the nations that came to attack Jerusalem will go up annually to worship the King, the <sc>Lordsc> who rules over all, and to observe the Feast of Tabernacles.<n id="1" />

If the Egyptians will not do so, they will get no rain &#8211; instead there will be the kind of plague which the <sc>Lordsc> inflicts on any nations that do not go up to celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles.
