Feasts Of Tabernacles: Israel—
Jerusalem—Temporary Booths
Nehemiah 8:13-17
Chap. 49 - At the Feast of Tabernacles:
DA, pp. 447-448
Three times a year the Jews were required to assemble at
Jerusalem for religious purposes. Enshrouded in the pillar of
cloud, Israel's invisible Leader had given the directions in
regard to these gatherings. During the captivity of the Jews,
they could not be observed; but when the people were
restored to their own land, the observance of these
memorials was once more begun. It was God's design that
these anniversaries should call Him to the minds of the
people. But with few exceptions, the priests and leaders of
the nation had lost sight of this purpose. He who had
ordained these national assemblies and understood their
significance witnessed their perversion. …
…The Feast of Tabernacles was the closing gathering of the
year. It was God's design that at this time the people should
reflect on His goodness and mercy. The whole land had
been under His guidance, receiving His blessing. Day and
night His watchcare had continued. The sun and rain had
caused the earth to produce her fruits. From the valleys and
plains of Palestine the harvest had been gathered. The olive
berries had been picked, and the precious oil stored in
bottles. The palm had yielded her store. The purple
clusters of the vine had been trodden in the wine press.
The feast continued for seven days, and for its celebration
the inhabitants of Palestine, with many from other lands, left
their homes, and came to Jerusalem. From far and near the
people came, bringing in their hands a token of rejoicing.
Old and young, rich and poor, all brought some gift as a
tribute of thanksgiving to Him who had crowned the year
with His goodness, and made His paths drop fatness. …
…Everything that could please the eye, and give expression
to the universal joy, was brought from the woods; the city
bore the appearance of a beautiful forest. This feast was not
only the harvest thanksgiving, but the memorial of God's
protecting care over Israel in the wilderness. In
commemoration of their tent life, the Israelites during the
feast dwelt in booths or tabernacles of green boughs. These
were erected in the streets, in the courts of the temple, or on
the housetops. The hills and valleys surrounding Jerusalem
were also dotted with these leafy dwellings, and seemed to
be alive with people. With sacred song and thanksgiving the
worshipers celebrated this occasion. A little before the feast
was the Day of Atonement, when, after confession of their
sins, the people were declared to be at peace with Heaven.
Thus the way was prepared for the rejoicing of the feast….
…"O give thanks unto the Lord; for He is good: for His
mercy endureth forever" (Psalm 106:1) rose triumphantly,
while all kinds of music, mingled with shouts of hosanna,
accompanied the united singing. The temple was the center
of the universal joy. Here was the pomp of the sacrificial
ceremonies. Here, ranged on either side of the white marble
steps of the sacred building, the choir of Levites led the
service of song. The multitude of worshipers, waving their
branches of palm and myrtle, took up the strain, and echoed
the chorus; and again the melody was caught up by voices
near and afar off, till the encircling hills were vocal with
praise. At night the temple and its court blazed with
artificial light. The music, the waving of palm branches, the
glad hosannas, the great concourse of people, over whom
the light streamed from the hanging lamps, the array of the
priests, and the majesty of the ceremonies, combined to
make a scene that deeply impressed the beholders….
…But the most impressive ceremony of the feast, one that
called forth greatest rejoicing, was one commemorating an
event in the wilderness sojourn.

8. FEAST OF TABERNACLES: SAINTS
Patriarchs & Prophets, p. 540
Fifty days from the offering of first fruits, came the
Pentecost, called also the feast of harvest and the feast of
weeks. As an expression of gratitude for the grain prepared
as food, two loaves baked with leaven were presented
before God. The Pentecost occupied but one day, which was
devoted to religious service. In the seventh month came
the Feast of Tabernacles, or of ingathering. This feast
acknowledged God's bounty in the products of the orchard,
the olive grove, and the vineyard. It was the crowning festal
gathering of the year. The land had yielded its increase, the
harvests had been gathered into the granaries, the fruits, the
oil, and the wine had been stored, the first fruits had been
reserved, and now the people came with their tributes of
thanksgiving to God, who had thus richly blessed them. …
…This feast was to be pre-eminently an occasion of rejoicing.
It occurred just after the great Day of Atonement, when the
assurance had been given that their iniquity should be
remembered no more. At peace with God, they now came
before Him to acknowledge His goodness and to praise Him
for His mercy. The labors of the harvest being ended, and the
toils of the new year not yet begun, the people were free from
care, and could give themselves up to the sacred, joyous
influences of the hour. Though only the fathers and sons were
commanded to appear at the feasts, yet, so far as possible, all
the household were to attend them, and to their hospitality the
servants, the Levites, the stranger, and the poor were made
welcome. Like the Passover, the Feast of Tabernacles was
commemorative. In memory of their pilgrim life in the
wilderness the people were now to leave their houses and
dwell in booths, or arbors, formed from the green branches…
… “of
“ goodly trees, branches of palm trees, and the boughs
of thick trees, and willows of the brook.” “Leviticus 23:40,
42, 43. The first day was a holy convocation, and to the
seven days of the feast an eighth day was added, which was
observed in like manner. {PP 540.5}

At the first dawn of day, the priests sounded a long, shrill
blast upon their silver trumpets, and the answering trumpets,
and the glad shouts of the people from their booths, echoing
over hill and valley, welcomed the festal day. Then the
priest dipped from the flowing waters of the Kedron a
flagon of water, and, lifting it on high, while the trumpets
were sounding, he ascended the broad steps of the temple,
keeping time with the music with slow and measured tread,
chanting meanwhile, "Our feet shall stand within thy gates,
O Jerusalem." Psalm 122:2. He bore the flagon to the altar,
which occupied a central position in the court of the priests.
Here were two silver basins, with a priest standing at each
one. The flagon of water was poured into one, and a
flagon of wine into the other; and the contents of both
flowed into a pipe which communicated with the Kedron,
and was conducted to the Dead Sea….
…This display of the consecrated water represented the
fountain that at the command of God had gushed from the
rock to quench the thirst of the children of Israel.
