(16) and the Feast of the Harvest, of the first fruits of your work, of what you sow in the field [Shavuot]; and the Feast of Ingathering at the end of the year, when you gather in the results of your work from the field.

(22) You shall observe the Feast of Weeks, of the first fruits of the wheat harvest; and the Feast of Ingathering at the turn of the year.

(34) Say to the Israelite people:
On the fifteenth day of this seventh month there shall be the Feast of Booths [ha-Sukkot] to GOD, [to last] seven days.

(42) You shall live in booths seven days; all citizens in Israel shall live in booths,

(43) in order that future generations may know that I made the Israelite people live in booths when I brought them out of the land of Egypt—I the ETERNAL your God.

(1) כי בסכות הושבתי THAT I MADE [THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL] ABIDE IN BOOTHS — This does not mean literally “booths” but, “the clouds of Glory" by which they were sheltered

(9)Who can say, “I have cleansed my heart, I am purged of my sin”?

(2) Utter futility/ vanity / transience!—said Koheleth—Utter futility/ vanity / transience! All is futile / in vain / transient!

(3) What real value is there for humankind in all the gains they make beneath the sun?

(4) One generation goes, another comes, But the earth remains the same forever.

(9) Only that shall happen

That has happened,

Only that occur

That has occurred;

There is nothing new

Beneath the sun!

(1)A season is set for everything, a time for every experience under heaven:

(2)A time for birthing and a time for dying,A time for planting and a time for uprooting the planted;

(3)A time for slaying and a time for healing, A time for tearing down and a time for building up;

(4)A time for weeping and a time for laughing,A time for wailing and a time for dancing;

(5)A time for throwing stones and a time for gathering stones,A time for embracing and a time for shunning embraces;

(6)A time for seeking and a time for losing,A time for keeping and a time for discarding;

(7)A time for ripping and a time for sewing,A time for silence and a time for speaking;

(8)A time for loving and a time for hating;A time for war and a time for peace.

(11) [God] brings everything to pass precisely at its time; [God] also puts eternity in their mind, but without people ever guessing, from first to last, all the things that God brings to pass.

(JPS)

or:

God has made everything beautiful in its time; also, God has also set the mystery of the world in their hearts, so that no person can understand the work which God has made from beginning to end. (King James Bible)

(7) How sweet is the light, what a delight for the eyes to behold the sun!

(1) Praise GOD, all you nations; extol [God], all you peoples,

(2) for great is this steadfast love toward us; GOD’s faithfulness endures forever. Hallelujah.

(1)Praise the Lord, all nations; extol Him, all peoples. All nations can see and extol the greatness of God, even when His miracles occur in other places or to other peoples.

(2)For His kindness toward us is overwhelming. You, the nations of the world, can see the revelation of God’s overwhelming kindness toward His people, His servants. And the truth of the Lord is forever. Halleluya.

(1) So appreciate your vigor in the days of your youth, before those days of sorrow come and those years arrive of which you will say, “I have no pleasure in them”; (2) before sun and light and moon and stars grow dark, and the clouds come back again after the rain:

(2) before sun and light and moon and stars grow dark, and the clouds come back again after the rain: (3)When the guards of the house become shaky,And the soldiers are bent,And the maids that grind, grown few, are idle,And the ladies that peer through the windows grow dim,(4)And the doors to the street are shut—With the noise of the hand mill growing fainter,And the song of the bird growing feebler, And all the strains of music dying down;

(6)Before the silver cord snapsAnd the golden bowl crashes,The jar is shattered at the spring,And the jug is smashed at the cistern. (7)And the dust returns to the groundAs it was,And the lifebreath returns to GodWho bestowed it.

(8)Utter futility—said Koheleth—All is futile!

(2)rather, this one delights in GOD’s teaching,and studies that teaching day and night.

(8)GOD will guard your going and coming now and forever.

(19) and teach them to your children—reciting them when you stay at home and when you are away, when you lie down and when you get up;

The Gemara adds: Incidentally, this serves to teach you that the Divine Presence rests upon an individual neither from an atmosphere of laziness, nor from an atmosphere of sadness, nor from an atmosphere of laughter, nor from an atmosphere of frivolity, nor from an atmosphere of idle chatter, but rather from an atmosphere imbued with the joy of a mitzva. As it is stated with regard to Elisha, after he became angry at the king of Israel,his prophetic spirit left him until he requested: “But now bring me a minstrel; and it came to pass when the minstrel played, that the hand of the Lord came upon him” (II Kings 3:15).

(14)

For God will bring all deeds to judgment, even that which is hidden, whether good or bad. (my translation)
