Feast of Tabernacles
This feast began on 15th Tishri (September/October) and lasted seven days.
It celebrated the first gathering of the fruit and grain harvests and also God’s provision for his people during their wilderness journey from Egypt to the promised land.
Feast of Tabernacles.
The Feast of Tabernacles commemorates the period of the wilderness wanderings directly following the exodus from Egypt.
It lasted seven days, beginning on the 15th of Tishri.
It is also called the Feast of Ingathering, since it gathered the people together after the harvesting season and was the final pilgrim feast of Israel.
The feast opened and closed with convocations of the people.
There were daily sacrifices.
The final day of the feast may have had the same rules against working as the Feast of Unleavened Bread (MacRae, “Meaning and Evolution of the Feast of Tabernacles,” 258).
The remembrance of the wilderness wandering was considered an occasion of joy, connected to God’s saving work on Israel’s behalf.
A large number of sacrifices were offered during the week’s celebration (Num 29:12–38).
- Feast of Lights
Dedication, Jewish Feast of the.
The feast instituted by *Judas Maccabaeus in 165 bc, to commemorate the purification of the Temple and its altar after their defilement by *Antiochus Epiphanes (; ).
It was ordered to be observed on the 25th day of Chislev each year and kept for 8 days.
A special feature of the feast, apart from the fact that it could be celebrated outside Jerusalem, was the lighting of lamps; hence it was sometimes called the ‘Feast of the Lights’.
Modern Jews observe the feast as ‘Hanukkah’; it falls in late Nov. or Dec.
