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.

So he said unto them - Go your way, eat the fat and drink the sweet, and send portions unto them for whom nothing is prepared, for holy is the day, unto our Lord, - and be not grieved, for, the joy of Yahweh, is your strength. read more. And, the Levites, were quieting all the people, saying - Hush! for, the day, is holy, - and be not grieved. And all the people went their way, to eat and to drink, and to send portions, and to make great rejoicing, - because they had understood the words which were made known unto them. And, on the second day, were gathered together - the ancestral heads of all the people, the priests and the Levites, unto Ezra the scribe, - even to give attention unto the words of the law. And they found written in the law, - that Yahweh gave command through Moses, that the sons of Israel should dwell in booths, during the festival of the seventh month; and that they should publish and send along a proclamation throughout all their cities and throughout Jerusalem, saying, Forth to the mountain, and bring in branches of olive, and branches of oleaster, and branches of myrtle, and branches of palms, and branches of thick trees, - to make booths, as it is written. So the people went forth, and brought in, and made themselves booths, every one upon his roof, and in their courts, and in the courts of the house of God, and in the broad place of the water-gate, and in the broad place of the gate of Ephraim. And all the convocation of them who had returned out of the captivity made booths, and dwelt in booths, for, since the days of Jeshua son of Nun, had not the sons of Israel done so, unto that day, - and there was very great rejoicing. So he read in the book of the law of God, day by day, from the first day unto the last day, and they kept the festival seven days, and, on the eighth day, a closing feast, according to the regulation.

Fausets
(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.

No one, nevertheless, was speaking, openly, about him, because of their fear of the Jews. Presently, however, the feast being at its height, Jesus went up unto the temple and was teaching. The Jews, therefore, began to marvel, saying - How, doth this one know, letters, not having learned? Jesus, therefore, answered them, and said - My teaching, is not mine, but his who sent me. If any one intend, his will, to do, he shall get to know concerning the teaching - whether it is, of God, or, I, from myself, am speaking, He that, from himself, doth speak, his own glory, is seeking: he that seeketh the glory of him that sent him, the same, is, true, and, injustice, in him, is there none. Did not, Moses, give you the law? And yet, not one of you, doeth the law! - Why, seek ye, to slay, me? The multitude answered - A demon, thou hast: Who, is seeking, to slay, thee? Jesus answered, and said unto them - One work, I did, and ye, all, are marvelling: For this cause, Moses, hath given you, circumcision, - not that, of Moses, it is, but of the fathers; - and, on Sabbath, ye circumcise a man. If, circumcision, a man receiveth, on Sabbath, that the law of Moses may not be broken, with me, are ye bitter as gall, because, a whole man, I made, well, on Sabbath? Be not judging according to appearance, but, just judgment, be judging, So then, some of them of Jerusalem were saying - Is not, this, he whom they are seeking to kill? And yet, see! with freedom of speech, he is talking, and, nothing, unto him, do they say: - Have the rulers perhaps come to know, of a truth, that, this, is, the Christ? But, as for this one, we know whence he is; The Christ, however, whensoever he shall come, no one, getteth to know whence he is. Jesus, therefore, cried aloud in the temple, teaching, and saying - Both me, ye know, and ye know whence I am, - and yet, of myself, have I not come, but he is real, who sent me, whom, ye, know not. I, know him, because, from him, I am, and, he, sent me forth. They were seeking therefore to seize him; and yet no one laid on him his hand, because, not yet, had come his hour. But, from amongst the multitude, many, believed on him, and were saying - The Christ, whensoever he cometh, greater signs, will he do, than those which, this one, did? The Pharisees hearkened unto the multitude murmuring concerning him these things; and the High-priests and the Pharisees sent forth officers, that they might seize him. Jesus, therefore, said - Yet a little time, I am, with you, and withdraw unto him that sent me: Ye shall seek me, and not find me, and, where, I, am, ye, cannot come. The Jews, therefore, said unto themselves - Whither, is, this one, about to go, that we shall not find him? Unto the dispersion of the Greeks, is he about to go, and teach the Greeks? What, is this which he said: Ye shall seek me and not find me, and, where, I, am, ye, cannot come? Now, on the last - the great - day of the feast, Jesus was standing, and he cried aloud, saying - If any man thirst, let him come unto me and drink:
Again, therefore, unto them, spake Jesus, saying - I, am the light of the world: He that followeth me, shall in nowise walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.
Again, therefore, unto them, spake Jesus, saying - I, am the light of the world: He that followeth me, shall in nowise walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.
