Leviticus 23 verse 33 -36
The Appointed Festivals
The Festival of Tabernacles
33 The Lord said to Moses, 34 “Say to the Israelites: ‘On the fifteenth day of the seventh month the Lord’s Festival of Tabernacles begins, and it lasts for seven days. 35 The first day is a sacred assembly; do no regular work. 36 For seven days present food offerings to the Lord, and on the eighth day hold a sacred assembly and present a food offering to the Lord. It is the closing special assembly; do no regular work.
(33)اور خُداوند نے مُوسیٰ سے کہا۔
(34)بنی اِسرائیل سے کہہ کہ اُسی ساتویں مہِینے کی پندرھوِیں تارِیخ سے لے کر سات دِن تک خُداوند کے لِئے عِیدِ خیام ہو گی۔
(35)پہلے دِن مُقدّس مجمع ہو ۔ تُم اُس دِن کوئی خادِمانہ کام نہ کرنا۔
(36)تُم ساتوں دِن برابر خُداوند کے حضُور آتشِین قُربانی گُذراننا ۔ آٹھویں دِن تُمہارا مُقدّس مجمع ہو اور پِھر خُداوند کے حضُور آتِشِین قُربانی گُذراننا ۔ وہ خاص مجمع ہے ۔ اُس میں کوئی خادِمانہ کام نہ کرنا۔
My point of view about above verses
The 7th feast is called as Succoth - It falls on 15th day of 7th month (Tishri) of Jewish calendar and it last for seven days - Israelite are asked to offer the sacrifices for seven days - and on first day there will be sacred assembly and on last day - there will be sacred assembly again - They are asked to not do any work on 1st day and eight day - its day of celebration and rest for people - This is a happy celebration and rejoicing before the Lord and thanking him that what marvelous things he has done for his people
Israelite families camp out in shelters made of branches of trees - just to remember the time of their exodus from Egypt to the the promised land - and during this time period they lived in shelter - so by this way they tell their generations how God brought them out from Egypt and provide everything for living to the promised land and they have to value it by obeying God
We need to live in this world as God wants us to live - we have to do what he is telling us to do-
May God inclined us to obey his words to lead our lives the way God wants us to live on this earth -
May God bless all those who are obeying His commandments
