Moses spoke of a generation coming much later that would see Israel scattered into all of the nations. He then foretold they would be part of an exodus out from all of those nations back to the promised land.

The Feast of Tabernacles was one of three pilgrimage festivals (the others were the Feast of Unleavened Bread and the Feast of Weeks). The men of Israel would travel to the Temple in Jerusalem and build their booths (sukkot) around the city.
