Deuteronomy 16:12-14

New International Reader's Version

¹² Remember that you were slaves in Egypt. Be careful to obey the rules I’m giving you.

The Feast of Booths

¹³ Gather the grain from your threshing floors. Take the fresh wine from your winepresses. Then celebrate the Feast of Booths for seven days. ¹⁴ Be filled with joy at your feast. You, your children, and your male and female servants should be joyful. So should the Levites, the outsiders, and the widows living in your towns. And so should the children whose fathers have died.
