- Vulgate (Clementine)
- Et septem diebus offeretis holocausta Domino. Dies quoque octavus erit celeberrimus, atque sanctissimus, et offeretis holocaustum Domino : est enim cœtus atque collectæ : omne opus servile non facietis in eo.
- Septuagint (Swete)
- ἑπτὰ ἡμέρας προσάξετε ὁλοκαυτώματα τῷ κυρίῳ· καὶ ἡ ἡμέρα ἡ ὀγδόη ἁγία κλητὴ ἔσται ὑμῖν, καὶ προσάξετε ὁλοκαυτώματα Κυρίῳ· ἐξόδιόν ἐστιν, πᾶν ἔργον λατρευτὸν οὐ ποιήσετε.
- Hebrew (WLC)

Haydock's commentary
Most holy. Hebrew, "an holy assembly." The great day of the festivity, John vii. 37.
Congregation. Hebrew hatsereth, "retention." All were bound to wait till this day was over. In other festivals, it was sufficient if they were present one day. This was the concluding day of the feast of tabernacles. Septuagint exodion. Plutarch (Sym. iv. 5.) observes, that this festival greatly resembles that of Bacchus. Ovid (Fast. iii.) speaking of the feast of Anna Perenna, describes it thus:
Sub Jove pars durat, pauci tentoria ponunt,
Sub quibus e ramis frondea facta casa est.
Casaubon (on Athen. iv. 9. and v. 5.) mentions other feasts, on which the pagans dwelt under tents. The devil has caused his slaves to imitate most of the holy ceremonies of the true religion. (Calmet)
