Leviticus 23:33-34

​

Significance: After leaving Egypt, God provided the Hebrews with food and shelter during their wanderings in the wilderness. This eight-day harvest festival was also called the feast of Booths becuase the Isrealites built small, makeshift dwellings to commemorate God's provisions.​

​

New Testament: In the millennial kingdom, Christ will provide dwelling places for his people. This feast also signifies the Son of God, or God's provision, becoming flesh and dwelling (or tabernacling) with mankind.
