Daily Bible GNT November 6 Verses

The Harvest Festival
(Exodus 34.22; Leviticus 23.15-21)

⁹"Count seven weeks from the time that you begin to harvest the grain, ¹⁰and then celebrate the Harvest Festival, to honor the LORD your God, by bringing him a freewill offering in proportion to the blessing he has given you. ¹¹Be joyful in the LORD's presence, together with your children, your servants, and the Levites, foreigners, orphans, and widows who live in your towns. Do this at the one place of worship. ¹²Be sure that you obey these commands; do not forget that you were slaves in Egypt.

The Festival of Shelters
(Leviticus 23.33-43)

¹³"After you have threshed all your grain and pressed all your grapes, celebrate the Festival of Shelters for seven days. ¹⁴Enjoy it with your children, your servants, and the Levites, foreigners, orphans, and widows who live in your towns. ¹⁵Honor the LORD your God by celebrating this festival for seven days at the one place of worship. Be joyful, because the LORD has blessed your harvest and your work.

¹⁶"All the men of your nation are to come to worship the LORD three times a year at the one place of worship: at Passover, Harvest Festival, and the Festival of Shelters. Each man is to bring a gift ¹⁷as he is able, in proportion to the blessings that the LORD your God has given him.
