Quotation of the Day for November 4, 2003
41 And ye shall keep it a feast unto the LORD seven days in the year. It shall be a statute for ever in your generations: ye shall celebrate it in the seventh month.
42 Ye shall dwell in booths seven days; all that are Israelites born shall dwell in booths:
43 That your generations may know that I made the children of Israel to dwell in booths, when I brought them out of the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.
- Leviticus 23:41-43 (King James Version), giving the delightfully tautological origin of the Jewish harvest festival of Sukkot. [http://www.jewfaq.org/holiday5.htm]
