Yes, that is a better translation. Thanks. So the command to observe Sukkoth is only meant for the home-born Israelite? Is that how you read it?

I really depend upon smart guys like you who take time to explain this stuff to me. I don't know where you find the patience to respond to someone as stupid as I am. My first problem in understanding you is that there was no Temple when the Torah was written, so it seems really confusing to me why you would think that there needs to be a Temple Altar. Are you saying that if I build my own altar (kind of like Noah did) to observe the Torah commandments that I would be in violation of Torah? Can you tell me what passage I would be in violation of? Peace be with you. David Miller. p.s. I know how the Jew answers this, but I'm not sure how you would answer this. ---------- "Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer every man."
