Connection with Jacob meets Esau
God later commanded Israel, "You are to dwell in booths for seven days" (Leviticus 23:42), "so that your descendants may know that I made the Israelites dwell in booths when I brought them out of the land of Egypt" (Leviticus 23:43). Their first camp after Egypt was a different place with the same name: "The Israelites journeyed from Rameses to Succoth" (Exodus 12:37). A people who sat in booths each year to remember how God brought them out of slavery heard that their father Jacob built booths on his own way home, after God brought him out of Laban's house.
