There, before the Ark, King Solomon and the entire community of Israel sacrificed so many sheep, goats, and cattle that no one could keep count!

Then Amaziah, the priest of Bethel, sent a message to Jeroboam, king of Israel:“ Amos is hatching a plot against you right here on your very doorstep! What he is saying is intolerable.He is saying,‘ Jeroboam will soon be killed, and the people of Israel will be sent away into exile.’”Then Amaziah sent orders to Amos:“ Get out of here, you prophet! Go on back to the land of Judah, and earn your living by prophesying there!Don’t bother us with your prophecies here in Bethel. This is the king’s sanctuary and the national place of worship!”

So all the men of Israel assembled before King Solomon at the annual Festival of Shelters, which is held in early autumn in the month of Ethanim.

And the Lord said to Moses,“ Give the following instructions to the people of Israel. Begin celebrating the Festival of Shelters on the fifteenth day of the appointed month— five days after the Day of Atonement. This festival to the Lord will last for seven days.On the first day of the festival you must proclaim an official day for holy assembly, when you do no ordinary work.For seven days you must present special gifts to the Lord. The eighth day is another holy day on which you present your special gifts to the Lord. This will be a solemn occasion, and no ordinary work may be done that day.(“ These are the Lord’s appointed festivals. Celebrate them each year as official days for holy assembly by presenting special gifts to the Lord— burnt offerings, grain offerings, sacrifices, and liquid offerings— each on its proper day.These festivals must be observed in addition to the Lord’s regular Sabbath days, and the offerings are in addition to your personal gifts, the offerings you give to fulfill your vows, and the voluntary offerings you present to the Lord.)“ Remember that this seven day festival to the Lord— the Festival of Shelters— begins on the fifteenth day of the appointed month, after you have harvested all the produce of the land. The first day and the eighth day of the festival will be days of complete rest.On the first day gather branches from magnificent trees— palm fronds, boughs from leafy trees, and willows that grow by the streams. Then celebrate with joy before the Lord your God for seven days.You must observe this festival to the Lord for seven days every year. This is a permanent law for you, and it must be observed in the appointed month from generation to generation.For seven days you must live outside in little shelters. All native born Israelites must live in shelters.This will remind each new generation of Israelites that I made their ancestors live in shelters when I rescued them from the land of Egypt. I am the Lord your God.”So Moses gave the Israelites these instructions regarding the annual festivals of the Lord.

They put their idol altars right next to mine with only a wall between them and me. They defiled my holy name by such detestable sin, so I consumed them in my anger.

‘ These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me.Their worship is a farce, for they teach man made ideas as commands from God.’”

“ Five days later, on the fifteenth day of the same month, you must call another holy assembly of all the people, and you may do no ordinary work on that day. It is the beginning of the Festival of Shelters, a seven day festival to the Lord.On the first day of the festival, you must present a burnt offering as a special gift, a pleasing aroma to the Lord. It will consist of thirteen young bulls, two rams, and fourteen one year old male lambs, all with no defects.Each of these offerings must be accompanied by a grain offering of choice flour moistened with olive oil— six quarts for each of the thirteen bulls, four quarts for each of the two rams,and two quarts for each of the fourteen lambs.You must also sacrifice a male goat as a sin offering, in addition to the regular burnt offering with its accompanying grain offering and liquid offering.“ On the second day of this seven day festival, sacrifice twelve young bulls, two rams, and fourteen one year old male lambs, all with no defects.Each of these offerings of bulls, rams, and lambs must be accompanied by its prescribed grain offering and liquid offering.You must also sacrifice a male goat as a sin offering, in addition to the regular burnt offering with its accompanying grain offering and liquid offering.“ On the third day of the festival, sacrifice eleven young bulls, two rams, and fourteen one year old male lambs, all with no defects.Each of these offerings of bulls, rams, and lambs must be accompanied by its prescribed grain offering and liquid offering.You must also sacrifice a male goat as a sin offering, in addition to the regular burnt offering with its accompanying grain offering and liquid offering.“ On the fourth day of the festival, sacrifice ten young bulls, two rams, and fourteen one year old male lambs, all with no defects.Each of these offerings of bulls, rams, and lambs must be accompanied by its prescribed grain offering and liquid offering.You must also sacrifice a male goat as a sin offering, in addition to the regular burnt offering with its accompanying grain offering and liquid offering.“ On the fifth day of the festival, sacrifice nine young bulls, two rams, and fourteen one year old male lambs, all with no defects.Each of these offerings of bulls, rams, and lambs must be accompanied by its prescribed grain offering and liquid offering.You must also sacrifice a male goat as a sin offering, in addition to the regular burnt offering with its accompanying grain offering and liquid offering.“ On the sixth day of the festival, sacrifice eight young bulls, two rams, and fourteen one year old male lambs, all with no defects.Each of these offerings of bulls, rams, and lambs must be accompanied by its prescribed grain offering and liquid offering.You must also sacrifice a male goat as a sin offering, in addition to the regular burnt offering with its accompanying grain offering and liquid offering.“ On the seventh day of the festival, sacrifice seven young bulls, two rams, and fourteen one year old male lambs, all with no defects.Each of these offerings of bulls, rams, and lambs must be accompanied by its prescribed grain offering and liquid offering.You must also sacrifice one male goat as a sin offering, in addition to the regular burnt offering with its accompanying grain offering and liquid offering.“ On the eighth day of the festival, proclaim another holy day. You must do no ordinary work on that day.You must present a burnt offering as a special gift, a pleasing aroma to the Lord. It will consist of one young bull, one ram, and seven one year old male lambs, all with no defects.Each of these offerings must be accompanied by its prescribed grain offering and liquid offering.You must also sacrifice one male goat as a sin offering, in addition to the regular burnt offering with its accompanying grain offering and liquid offering.“ You must present these offerings to the Lord at your annual festivals. These are in addition to the sacrifices and offerings you present in connection with vows, or as voluntary offerings, burnt offerings, grain offerings, liquid offerings, or peace offerings.”So Moses gave all of these instructions to the people of Israel as the Lord had commanded him.
