Exegesis
The verse opens with the prepositional phrase basukkot {בַּסֻּכֹּ֥ת | bə-sukkōt} ‘in booths,’ which establishes the ritual setting, followed by the Qal imperfect teshvu {תֵּשְׁב֖וּ | te-šə-vû} ‘you will dwell,’ indicating a communal directive.
In context — Leviticus 23:42
You shall dwell in booths for seven days; all the native-born of Israel shall dwell in booths.
