Commentary on Deuteronomy 16:13

Theological / Devotional

Feast of tabernacles. The last annual Jewish feast. All males were commanded to be present each year (see v. 16). The word “tabernacles” is translated from the word for “booths” (Gen. 33:17; Lev. 23:42, 43; Neh. 8:14-17; Jonah 4:5). The verb means “to weave together,” “to cover.” The derived noun is, then, a “covering” or “booth” of branches woven and interlaced to form a temporary yet adequate cover. The Feast of Tabernacles was observed at the close of the harvest, when the grain and the grapes of the vineyard had been gathered and processed.
