The subject is pretty self explanatory.

when the government fears the people, there is liberty.”

I am partial to ArtScroll Chumash... It has a very good, and well accepted, translation...

I hope your fast is not difficult...

You shall make yourself the Festival of Sukkoth for seven days, when you gather in [the produce] from your threshing floor and your vat.And you shall rejoice in your Festival-you, and your son, and your daughter, and your manservant, and your maidservant, and the Levite, and the stranger, and the orphan, and the widow, who are within your cities
Duet 16:13-14
