"Tell the Israelis that these are my festival times appointed by the LORD that you are to declare as sacred assemblies:

On the fifteenth day of that month is the Festival of Unleavened Bread to the LORD. For seven days you are to eat unleavened bread.

"Tell the Israelis that starting the fifteenth day of this seventh month is the week-long Festival of Tents to the LORD.

"On the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you've harvested the produce of the land, you are to observe the festival of the LORD for seven days. The first day is to be a Sabbath rest, and the eighth day also is to be a Sabbath rest.

Observe it as a pilgrimage festival in the presence of the LORD for seven days of the year. This is to be an eternal ordinance throughout your generations. Observe the festival during the seventh month.
