Leviticus 23:34: "Speak to the children of Israel, saying, On the fifteen days of this seventh month will be the feast of the Lord for seven days." This verse is God's command for the Israelites to celebrate the feast of tabernacles, which is the feast described in ecclesiastical 50.

Nehemiah 8:17: "And the whole congregation of those who returned from the captivity made cabins, and dwelt in them; for they had never done the children of Israel; and there was much joy." This verse describes how the Jews turned from Exile in Babylon celebrated the Tabernacles Feast, living in cabins during the party, as a way of remembering the time when they were nomads.

Zechariah 14:16: "And it will happen that all who remain from all nations that came against Jerusalem will rise from year to year to worship the king, the Lord of hosts, and to celebrate the feast of tabernacles."

This view can be related to the celebration of the Tabernacles Feast, which is a feast that resembles the time God dwelt with the Israelites in the desert in tents.
