Leviticus 23

Lev 23:42 All the people of Israel shall live in shelters for seven days,
Lev 23:43 so that your descendants may know that the LORD made the people of Israel live in simple shelters when he led them out of Egypt. He is the LORD your God.

This is an interesting command from the Lord, to ask the Israelites to live in booths for seven days as a reminder of how God took them out of slavery into freedom. This is interesting because Christ himself was born in a manger, what could be a more humble shelter for a Jew, or for anyone.
