This week our lesson highlights the cycle of festivals He introduced to the children a Israel. First, they were to remember the sabbath; they could work six days, however on the seventh day they had to stop working, rest, and have a holy assembly.
In addition to observing the Sabbath there were several other festivals: The Passover - Festival of the Unleavened Bread, First Harvest, Harvest Festival, Festival of the Trumpets, Day of Atonement, and Festival of the Shelter/Tabernacle/
Booths.
Our lesson today focused on the final Festival that ended the agriculture cycle, the Festival of the Booths. The seven day festival was to be celebrated after the Day of Atonement in which the people had to live in booths outside of the camp.
For the Jews this was a reminder of the time when the Lord delivered them from slavery in Egypt and set them on a journey to their new home. As they journey to the promised land they lived in temporary dwellings.
