The feast of tabernacles On the fifteenth day of the seventh month This phrase marks a specific time in the Hebrew calendar, known as Tishri, which corresponds to September-October in the Gregorian calendar. The fifteenth day is significant as it begins the Feast of Tabernacles, also known as Sukkot. This festival is a time of joy and thanksgiving, celebrating the harvest and God's provision. Historically, it commemorates the Israelites' 40 years of wandering in the desert, living in temporary shelters. The Hebrew word for "seventh month" is "Tishri," which is a time of great festivity and spiritual reflection in Jewish tradition. when you have gathered the produce of the land celebrate the feast of the LORD for seven days The first day is a Sabbath rest and the eighth day also is a Sabbath rest When ye have gathered in the fruit of the land.--That is, those productions which ripen in the autumnal season, as wheat, barley, oil, wine, &c. Ye shall keep a feast unto the Lord.--The Israelites are then to keep a festival in which they are to acknowledge the bounties of the Lord and express their gratitude to the Giver of all good things. For this reason this festival is also called "the Feast of Ingathering" (Exodus 23:16; Exodus 34:22). On the first day shall be a sabbath.--Both on the first and last days of this festival there is to be abstention from all servile work. (See Leviticus 23:35-36.) . . . Verses 39-44. - A further instruction respecting the Feast of Tabernacles is appended. When ye have gathered in the fruit of the land, not necessarily at the completion of the ingathering, but at the time at which the festival is held, ye shall take you on the first day the boughs of goodly trees. The word in the Hebrew, in its literal acceptation, means fruits of goodly trees, and hence in later times a misunderstanding arose (see 2 Macc. 10:6, 7), which led to the graceful practice of carrying in the left hand citrons (the fruit of goodly trees), and in the right hand myrtles, palms, and willows. It appears, however, that the word signifies in this place rather products than fruits, namely, leaves and branches. The command, therefore, would be, ye shall take you... products of goodly trees, branches of palm trees, and the boughs of thick trees, and willows of the brooks. Originally, the purpose of these boughs was to make booths, as is shown by Nehemiah 8:15, 16, "Go forth unto the mount, and fetch olive branches, and pine branches, and myrtle branches, and palm branches, and branches of thick trees, to make booths, as it is written. So the people went forth, and brought them, and made themselves booths." And ye shall rejoice before the Lord your God seven days. Accordingly we find when the feast was observed by Ezra, after the long interval from the days of Joshua, "there was very great gladness" (Nehemiah 8:17). The reason of the injunction to dwell in booths is that your generations may know that I made the children of Israel to dwell in booths, when I brought them out of the land of Egypt; that is, on the first night after they had been delivered from Egypt, and encamped at Succoth (Exodus 12:37).
