And there was very great rejoicing.And day by day, from the first day to the last day, he read from the Book of the Law of God. They kept the feast seven days, and on the eighth day there was a solemn assembly, according to the rule.

John 7:27-39
But we know where this man comes from, and when the Christ appears, no one will know where he comes from.”So Jesus proclaimed, as he taught in the temple,“ You know me, and you know where I come from. But I have not come of my own accord. He who sent me is true, and him you do not know.I know him, for I come from him, and he sent me.”So they were seeking to arrest him, but no one laid a hand on him, because his hour had not yet come.Yet many of the people believed in him. They said,“ When the Christ appears, will he do more signs than this man has done?”The Pharisees heard the crowd muttering these things about him, and the chief priests and Pharisees sent officers to arrest him.Jesus then said,“ I will be with you a little longer, and then I am going to him who sent me.You will seek me and you will not find me. Where I am you cannot come.”The Jews said to one another,“ Where does this man intend to go that we will not find him? Does he intend to go to the Dispersion among the Greeks and teach the Greeks?What does he mean by saying,‘ You will seek me and you will not find me,’ and,‘ Where I am you cannot come’?”On the last day of the feast, the great day, Jesus stood up and cried out,“ If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink.Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said,‘ Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.’”Now this he said about the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were to receive, for as yet the Spirit had not been given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

Zechariah 14:16-19
Then everyone who survives of all the nations that have come against Jerusalem shall go up year after year to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, and to keep the Feast of Booths.And if any of the families of the earth do not go up to Jerusalem to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, there will be no rain on them.And if the family of Egypt does not go up and present themselves, then on them there shall be no rain; there shall be the plague with which the Lord afflicts the nations that do not go up to keep the Feast of Booths.This shall be the punishment to Egypt and the punishment to all the nations that do not go up to keep the Feast of Booths.
