Sukkoth & Shemini Atzaret
Leviticus 23:34-35 (ESV) “Speak to the people of Israel, saying, On the fifteenth day of this seventh month and for seven days is the Feast of Booths [Tabernacles, Sukkoth] to the Lord. On the first day shall be a holy convocation; you shall not do any ordinary work. For seven days you shall present food offerings to the Lord.” The law for Sukkoth, which starts the 15th of Tishri and lasts 7 days. The 1st day is a Shabbat and a holy convocation.
Leviticus 23:36 (ESV) On the eighth day you shall hold a holy convocation and present a food offering to the Lord. It is a solemn assembly; you shall not do any ordinary work. Shemini Atzaret, the Eighth Day. This is a Shabbat and a holy convocation. It may be combined with Simchat Torah, or that can be done as a 9th day outside Eretz Yisroel.
Leviticus 23:40-41 (ESV) And you shall take on the first day the fruit of splendid trees, branches of palm trees and boughs of leafy trees and willows of the brook, and you shall rejoice before the Lord your God seven days. You shall celebrate it as a feast to the Lord for seven days in the year. It is a statute forever throughout your generations; you shall celebrate it in the seventh month. Take up the Lulav and Etrog for the 7 days of Sukkoth.
Leviticus 23:42 (ESV) You shall dwell in booths for seven days. All native Israelites shall dwell in booths, We are to dwell in booths through the 7 days of Sukkoth.
Deuteronomy 16:13-15a (ESV) “You shall keep the Feast of Booths seven days, when you have gathered in the produce from your threshing floor and your winepress. You shall rejoice in your feast, you and your son and your daughter, your male servant and your female servant, the Levite, the sojourner, the fatherless, and the widow who are within your towns. For seven days you shall keep the feast to the Lord your God at the place that the Lord will choose, because the Lord your God will bless you in all your produce and in all the work of your hands, so that you will be altogether joyful.” Since there is no Temple, the rest of vs 15 does not apply. However note the similar language to vs 11, “the sojourner, the fatherless, and the widow who are within your towns.” This is a feast to be shared, including any worthy Gentiles (Christians mostly today).
