The Key Word — חַג, chaggenerated
The Hebrew word חַג (chag) refers to a festival or feast, often linked to communal gatherings and religious observances. It is derived from a root that signifies a solemn assembly, indicating its importance in the context of worship and celebration.
In this verse, חַג emphasizes the significance of the Feast of Tabernacles as a time of rejoicing and remembrance of God's provision during the Israelites' journey. The command to observe this festival highlights the communal aspect of worship and the importance of acknowledging God's blessings.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, so the BSB is the wording every comparison below is made against.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The finite verb תַּעֲשֶׂ֥ה (ta'aseh, you will observe) governs the main clause, with several phrases expanding on what is to be observed: the festival, the duration, and the conditions under which it is celebrated. The structure emphasizes the imperative nature of the command.
The sentence is straightforward, with the subject implied as 'you' and the main action clearly stated. The arrangement of phrases highlights the festival's significance and the specific instructions surrounding its observance.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The Septuagint translates חַג as ἑορτὴν (heortēn), which means 'festival' and carries the connotation of a joyful celebration. This choice aligns with the Hebrew meaning but also reflects the Greek understanding of festivals as communal celebrations.
The word for booths, הַסֻּכֹּ֛ת, is rendered as σκηνῶν (skēnōn), indicating temporary shelters. This translation maintains the focus on the nature of the booths as places of gathering and remembrance.

The four witnesses to this verse — Masoretic, Septuagint, Samaritan, Qumran
The Masoretic Text and the Septuagint agree closely, with a word-for-word correspondence. The Samaritan Pentateuch differs slightly, using סכות (sukkot) instead of סֻכֹּת, which refers to 'cover of foliage', but the meaning remains consistent with the concept of temporary shelters.
חַ֧ג הַסֻּכֹּ֛ת תַּעֲשֶׂ֥ה לְךָ֖ שִׁבְעַ֣ת יָמִ֑ים בְּאָ֨סְפְּךָ֔ מִֽגָּרְנְךָ֖ וּמִיִּקְבֶֽךָ׃

ov:
(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.

Seven
This number occurs frequently in Scripture, and in such connections as lead to the supposition that it has some typical meaning. On the seventh day God rested, and hallowed it (Gen. 2:2, 3). The division of time into weeks of seven days each accounts for many instances of the occurrence of this number. This number has been called the symbol of perfection, and also the symbol of rest. “Jacob’s seven years’ service to Laban; Pharaoh’s seven fat oxen and seven lean ones; the seven branches of the golden candlestick; the seven trumpets and the seven priests who sounded them; the seven days’ siege of Jericho; the seven churches, seven spirits, seven stars, seven seals, seven vials, and many others, sufficiently prove the importance of this sacred number” (see Lev. 25:4;
The frequent recurrence of certain numbers in the sacred literature of the Hebrews is obvious to the most superficial reader, but seven so far surpasses the rest, both in the frequency with which it recurs and in the importance of the objects with which it is associated, that it may fairly be termed the representative symbolic number. The influence of the number seven was not restricted to the Hebrews; it prevailed among the Persians, ancient Indians, Greeks and Romans. The peculiarity of the Hebrew view consists in the special dignity of the seventh, and not simply in that of seen. The Sabbath being the seventh day suggested the adoption of seven as the coefficient, so to say, for their appointment of all sacred periods; and we thus find the 7th month ushered in by the Feast of Trumpets, and signalized by the celebration of the Feast of Tabernacles and the Great Day of Atonement; 7…
As from the beginning this was the number of days in the week, so it often has in Scripture a sort of emphasis attached to it, and is very generally used as a round or perfect number. Clean beasts were taken into the ark by sevens, Ge 7:1-24. The years of plenty and famine in Egypt were marked by sevens, Ge 41:1-57. With the Jews, not only was there a seventh day Sabbath, but every seventh year was a Sabbath, and after every seven times seven years came a jubilee. Their great feasts of unleavened bread and of tabernacles were observed for seven days; the number of animals in many of their sacrifices was limited to seven. The golden candlestick had seven branches. Seven priests with seven trumpets went around the walls of Jericho seven days, and seven times on the seventh day. In…
