So what will you do on the festival day, on the festival days of the Lord?

And on the fifteenth day of this month is the festival. For seven days bread made without yeast must be eaten.

All the men of Israel assembled before King Solomon during the festival ¹  in the month Ethanim ²  (the seventh month).

Now the Jewish feast of Tabernacles ¹  was near. ² 

For seven days ¹  you must eat ²  bread made without yeast, and on the seventh day there is to be ³  a festival to the Lord.

All the men of Israel assembled before the king during the festival ¹  in the seventh month. ² 

“Three times ¹  in the year you must make a pilgrim feast ²  to me.

Now the Feast of Unleavened Bread, ¹  which is called the Passover, was approaching.

So then, let us celebrate the festival, not with the old yeast, the yeast of vice and evil, but with the bread without yeast, the bread of sincerity and truth. ¹ 

This day will become ¹  a memorial ²  for you, and you will celebrate it as a festival ³  to the Lord – you will celebrate it perpetually as a lasting ordinance. ⁴ 

“‘On the fifteenth day of the seventh month you are to have a holy assembly; you must do no ordinary work, and you must keep a festival to the Lord for seven days.

“You must observe ¹  the Feast of Weeks – the firstfruits of the harvest of wheat – and the Feast of Ingathering at the end ²  of the year.

Then on the fifteenth day of the same month ¹  will be the festival of unleavened bread to the Lord; seven days you must eat unleavened bread.

“Tell the Israelites, ‘On the fifteenth day of this seventh month is the Festival of Temporary Shelters ¹  for seven days to the Lord.

Three times a year all your males must appear before the Lord 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 ¹  empty-handed.

Jeroboam inaugurated a festival on the fifteenth day of the eighth month, ¹  like the festival celebrated in Judah. ²  On the altar in Bethel he offered sacrifices to the calves he had made. ³  In Bethel he also appointed priests for the high places he had made.

On the eighth day they held an assembly, for they had dedicated the altar for seven days and celebrated the festival for seven more days.

You go up ¹  to the feast yourselves. I am not going up to this feast ²  because my time ³  has not yet fully arrived.” ⁴ 

Therefore do not let anyone judge you with respect to food or drink, or in the matter of a feast, new moon, or Sabbath days –

For they said, “Not during the feast, so there won’t be a riot among the people.” ¹
