The Feast of Booths

To be observed for seven days after the harvest of corn and wine by each family and their dependents, at the One Altar; and that altogether joyfully because of God's blessing. For the parallels and the other name of the Feast see introd. to Deuteronomy 16:1. This feast is also called the feastpar excellence (1 Kings 8:2; 1 Kings 8:65, etc., cp. Judges 21:19 ff.) not so much for its length, as because it crowned the year. See further Deuteronomy 31:10.
