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.

And the festival of the Jews was near, the Pitching of tents. Then said his brethren to him, Go away thence, and retire to Judea, that also thy disciples might see thy works which thou doest. read more. For none does any thing in secret, and seeks himself to be in freedom of speech. If thou do these, make thyself manifest to the world. For neither believed his brethren in him. Then says Jesus to them, My time is not yet present: and your time is always ready. The world cannot hate you: but me it hates, for I testify of it, that its works are evil. Go ye up to this festival: I go not yet up to the festival; for my time has not yet been completed. And speaking to them these things, he remained in Galilee. And when his brethren went up, then he went up to the festival, not openly, but as in secret. Then the Jews sought him in the festival, and said, Where is he And much murmuring was for him in the crowds: some truly said, That he is good: and others said, No; but he deceives the crowd. However none spake of him with freedom of speech, for fear of the Jews. And now the festival being in the midst, Jesus went up to the temple, and taught. And the Jews wondered, saying, How knows he letters, not having learned Jesus answered them, and said, My teaching is not mine, but his having sent me. If any desire to do his will, he shall know of the teaching, whether it is of God, or I speak from myself. He speaking from himself, seeks his own glory: but he seeking the glory of him having sent him, he is true, and no injustice is in him. Has not Moses given you the law, and none of you does the law? Why seek ye to kill me? The crowd answered and said, Thou hast a demon: who seeks to kill thee? Jesus answered and said to them, I did one work, and ye all marvel for this. Moses has given you circumcision; (not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers;) and in the sabbath ye circumcise a man. If a man receive circumcision in the sabbath, that the law of Moses be not loosed; rage not at me, because I made a man wholly well on the Sabbath. Judge not according to sight, but judge just judgment. Then said some of the Jerusalemites' Is not this he, whom they seek to kill? And, behold, he speaks in freedom of speech, and they say nothing to him. Not at any time knew the rulers truly, that this is truly Christ? But we know this whence he is: and Christ, when he should come, none knows whence he is. Then cried Jesus in the temple, teaching, and saying, And ye know me, and ye know whence I am: and I have not come of myself, but he having sent me is true, whom ye know not. But I know him; for I am from him, and he sent me. Then sought they to seize him: and none put the hand upon him, for his hour had not yet come. And many of the crowd believed on him, and said, That Christ, when he should come, will he do more signs than these which he did? The Pharisees heard the crowd murmuring these things of him; and the Pharisees and chief priests sent servants that they might seize him. Then said Jesus to them, Yet a little time am I with you, and I retire to him having sent me. And ye shall seek me and shall not find: and where I am, ye cannot come. Then said the Jews among themselves, Where is he about to go, that we shall not find him? is he not about to go to the dispersion of the Greeks, and teach the Greeks? What is the word which he spake, Ye shall seek me, and shall not find: and where I am, ye cannot come? In the last day, the great one of the festival, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any thirst, let him come to me, and drink.
And Jesus went to the mount of Olives. And again in the morning he was present in the temple, and all the people came to him; and having sat down, he taught them.
Again therefore Jesus spake to them, saying, I am the light of the world: he following me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.
