The analysis focuses on the festival calendar in Leviticus 23, revealing it as the most recent and comprehensive among Hebrew Bible calendars. It highlights the brevity of Passover legislation due to prior detailed instructions while noting the increased detail for the grain festival. The sukkôt festival emerges as a focal point, particularly in the seventh month. The author argues against some recent scholarly claims regarding the revision of the text, suggesting that the Sabbath and sukkôt laws were later additions from the Babylonian exile. The second part explores the significance of sukkôt in exilic and post-exilic contexts, including potential sukkôt psalms in the Psalter.
