GOD was Giving them hints of New Jerusalem.
i read that JESUS Said this at The Feast of Tabernacles:
[John 7:37-8 KJV] In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.
[8] He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
Again …we are The Temples of GOD:
[Ezekiel 47:1 KJV] Afterward he brought me again unto the door of the house; and, behold, waters issued out from under the threshold of the house eastward: for the forefront of the house stood toward the east, and the waters came down from under from the right side of the house, at the south side of the altar.
“the Israelites would dwell in booths or tabernacles that were made from the branches of trees (Leviticus 23:40–42).”
What do you think being Born from Heaven is? GOD Dwells in our Born Again Temples.
“The Feast of Tabernacles begins and ends with a special Sabbath day of rest. During the days of the feast all native Israelites were “to dwell in booths””
Sabbath is REST from the race to become Adopted.
Psalm 17:15
As for me, I will see Your face in righteousness;
I shall be satisfied when I awake in Your likeness.
[John 6:38 KJV] For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.
[John 3:13 KJV] And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.
[1 Corinthians 15:47-49 KJV] The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven.
[48] As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.
[49] And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
