the third of the great annual festivals of the Jews (Le 23:33-43). It is also called the "feast of ingathering" (Ex 23:16; De 16:13). It was celebrated immediately after the harvest, in the month Tisri, and the celebration lasted for eight days (Le 23:33-43). During that period the people left their homes and lived in booths formed of the branches of trees. The sacrifices offered at this time are mentioned in Nu 29:13-38. It was at the time of this feast that Solomon's temple was dedicated (1Ki 8:2). Mention is made of it after the return from the Captivity. This feast was designed (1) to be a memorial of the wilderness wanderings, when the people dwelt in booths (Le 23:43), and (2) to be a harvest thanksgiving (Ne 8:9-18). The Jews, at a later time, introduced two appendages to the original festival, viz., (1) that of drawing water from the Pool of Siloam, and pouring it upon the altar (Joh 7:2,37), as a memorial of the water from the rock in Horeb; and (2) of lighting the lamps at night, a memorial of the pillar of fire by night during their wanderings.
The feast of Tabernacles, the harvest festival of the Jewish Church, was the most popular and important festival after the Captivity. At Jerusalem it was a gala day. It was to the autumn pilgrims, who arrived on the 14th (of the month Tisri, the feast beginning on the 15th) day, like entrance into a silvan city. Roofs and courtyards, streets and squares, roads and gardens, were green with boughs of citron and myrtle, palm and willow. The booths recalled the pilgrimage through the wilderness. The ingathering of fruits prophesied of the spiritual harvest., Valling's Jesus Christ, p. 133.

(See FEASTS.) Hasukoth, "feast of in-gathering"; haciyp (Ex 23:16); Greek skenofgia (Joh 7:2). Third of the three great feasts; from Tisri 15 to 22 (Le 23:34-43); commemorating Israel's passage through the desert. Thanksgiving for harvest (De 16:13-15). The rites and sacrifices are specified, Nu 29:12-38. The law was read thereat publicly on the sabbatical year (De 31:10-13). Kept with joy on the return from Babylon (Nehemiah 8); compare the contemporary Ps 118:14-15,19-20,22-27, in undesigned coincidence, alluding to the feast, the joy, the building of the walls, and setting up of the gates; Zec 4:7-10; 3:9; 14:16-17. The earlier celebration under Zerubbabel was less formal and full according to the law (Ezr 3:4); therefore it is unnoticed in the statement (Ne 8:17) that since Joshua's days until then (when the later celebration under Nehemiah, which was fuller and more exact, took place) it had not been so kept.
The people in the wilderness dwelt in tents, not "booths" (sukot). The primary design was a harvest feast kept in autumn bowers, possibly first in Goshen. The booth, like the tent, was a temporary dwelling, and so suited fairly to represent camp life in the desert. So Hosea (Ho 12:9) uses "tabernacles" or "tents" for "booths," when speaking of the feast; the booth was probably used at times in the desert, when at certain places they made a more permanent stay during the forty years. It commemorated, with thanksgiving for the harvest which was the seal of their settlement in a permanent inheritance, their transition from nomadic to agricultural life. Its popularity induced Jeroboam to inaugurate his Bethel calf worship with an imitation feast of tabernacles on the 15th day of the eighth month, "which he devised of his own heart" (1Ki 12:32-33), possibly because the northern harvest was a little later, and he wished to break off Israel from the association with Judah by having a different month from the seventh, which was the legal month.
In Jerusalem the booths were built on the roofs, in house courts, in the temple court, and in the street of the water gate and of the Ephraim gate. They were made of boughs of olive, palm, pine, myrtle, and of her trees of thick foliage. From the first day of the feast to the seventh the Israelites carried in their hands "the fruit (margin) of goodly trees, branches of palm, thick trees, and willows" (Le 23:40). In one hand each carried a bundle of branches (called luwlab or "palm" in rabbiical Hebrew) and in the other a citron (hadar, "goodly trees".) The feast of tabernacles, like Passover, began at full moon on the 15th day of the month; the first day was a day of holy convocation; the seven days of the feast were followed by an eighth day, forming no part of it (Le 23:34-36; Nu 29:35), a day of holy convocation, "a solemn assembly" ('atsereth), or, as the Hebrew denotes, "a closing festival" (2Ch 7:9). On each of the seven days the offering consisted of two rams, 14 lambs a year old, with 13 bulls on the first day, 12 on the second, and so on until on the seventh there were only seven, the whole amounting to 70 bulls; but on the 'atsereth only one bull, one ram, and seven lambs.
The booths or, according to Jewish tradition, huts of boards on the sides covered with boughs on the top, were occupied only the seven days, not on the 'atsereth. The feast of tabernacles is referred to in Joh 7:2-37; 8:12. Jesus alludes to the custom of drawing water from Siloam in a golden goblet and pouring it into one of the two silver basins adjoining the western side of the altar, and wine into the other, while the words of Isa 12:3 were repeated, in commemoration of the water drawn from the rock in the desert; the choir sang the great hallel, and waved palms at different parts of Psalm 118, namely, Ps 118:1-25,29. Virtually Jesus said, I am the living Rock of the living water. Coming next day at daybreak to the temple court as they were extinguishing the artificial lights, two colossal golden candlesticks in the center of the temple court, recalling the pillar of fire in the wilderness, Jesus said, "I am the Light of the world" (Joh 8:1-2,12). As the sun by natural light was eclipsing the artificial lights, so Jesus implies, I, the Sun of righteousness, am superseding your typical light.
The last great day of the feast is the atsereth, though the drawing of water was on previous days not omitted. Joy was the prominent feature, from whence the proverb, "he who has never seen the rejoicing at the pouring out of the water of Siloam has never seen joy in his life" (Succah 5:1). The feast was called Hosanna, "save we beseech Thee." Isaiah 11 refers to the future restoration of Israel; the feast of tabernacles connected with chapter 12 doubtless will have its antitype in their restored possession of and rest in Canaan, after their long dispersion; just as the other two great feasts, Passover and Pentecost, have their antitype respectively in Christ's sacrifice for us, and in His writing His new law on our hearts at Pentecost. Jewish tradition makes Gog and Magog about to be defeated on the feast of tabernacles, or that the seven months' cleansing shall end at that feast (Eze 39:12). Rest after wanderings, lasting habitations after the life of wanderers, is the prominent thought of joy in the feast, alike in its former and in its future celebration.

Now the feast of the Jews, the feast of tabernacles, was near. His brothers therefore said to him, Depart from here, and go into Judea so that thy disciples also may see thy works that thou do. read more. For no man does anything in secret, and he himself seeks to be in public. If thou do these things, show thyself to the world. For not even his brothers believed in him. Jesus therefore says to them, My time is not yet here, but your time is always ready. The world cannot hate you, but it hates me because I testify about it, that its works are evil. Go ye up to this feast. I am not yet going to this feast, because my time is not yet fulfilled. And having said these things to them, he remained in Galilee. But when his brothers went up, then he also went up to the feast, not openly, but as in private. The Jews therefore sought him at the feast, and said, Where is that man? And there was much murmuring among the multitudes about him. Some said, He is a good man, others said, No, but he leads the multitude astray. Yet no man spoke openly about him because of fear of the Jews. And when it was now in the middle of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple and taught. The Jews therefore marveled, saying, How does this man know scholarly material, not having learned? Jesus therefore answered them and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his who sent me. If any man wants to do his will, he will know about the doctrine, whether it is from God, or I speak from myself. He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory, but he who seeks the glory of him who sent him, this man is true, and unrighteousness is not in him. Did not Moses give you the law, and none of you does the law? Why do ye seek to kill me? The multitude answered and said, Thou have a demon. Who seeks to kill thee? Jesus answered and said to them, I did one work, and ye all marvel because of this. Moses has given you circumcision (not that it is from Moses, but from the fathers), and ye circumcise a man on a Sabbath. If a man receives circumcision on a Sabbath, so that the law of Moses may not be loosed, are ye angry with me because I made a man entirely well on a Sabbath? Judge not according to appearance, but judge righteous judgment. Therefore some of the Jerusalemites said, Is not this he whom they seek to kill? And lo, he speaks in public, and they say nothing to him. Perhaps the rulers really know that this really is the Christ? However we know this man, where he is from, but when the Christ comes, no man knows where he is from. Jesus therefore cried out in the temple, teaching and saying, Ye both know me, and know where I am from? And I have not come of myself, but he who sent me is true, whom ye know not. I know him, because I am from him, and he sent me. They sought therefore to seize him, and yet no man laid a hand on him because his hour had not yet come. But many from the crowd believed in him, and they said, When the Christ comes, will he do more signs than these that this man did? The Pharisees heard the crowd murmuring these things about him, and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent subordinates so that they might take him. Jesus therefore said, Yet a little time I am with you, and then I go to him who sent me. Ye will seek me, and will not find me, and where I am, ye cannot come. The Jews therefore said among themselves, Where is this man going to go that we will not find him? Is he going to go to the Dispersion among the Greeks, and teach the Greeks?
