NUMBERS—NOTE ON Numbers 29:12 During the Feast of Booths all the Israelites lived in temporary dwellings. This reminded them of their time in the wilderness (see Leviticus 23:33). The feast’s importance is shown by the large number of sacrifices the priests offered. The feast occurred at the end of harvest in October, so that the people could thank God for the harvest and to pray for rain in the following months. In Israel, rain is expected only between October and April.
