The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 16:13-15

The Feast of Tabernacles , properly, Booths (cf. Leviticus 23:33-44 ; Numbers 29:12-38 ). This feast was to be observed at the end of harvest, after the corn had been gathered into granaries, and the produce of the vineyard had been put through the press. Nothing is added here to the instructions already given respecting this festival; only the observance of it at the appointed sanctuary is enforced, and stress is laid on their making not only their sons and daughters and domestics,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 16:13-16

The Feast of Tabernacle. I. A FEAST OF THE INGATHERING . ( Deuteronomy 16:13 .) Held in the seventh month, when all the fruits of the earth had been gathered in. Thus: 1. Every stage of labor was sanctified by the recognition of God. At the Passover, when the sickle was thrust into the virgin grain; at Pentecost, when the cereal crops were harvested; and now, at the close of the agricultural year, when the season's labors had yielded to the husbandman their full results. ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 16:13-17

The Feast of Tabernacles, or of Ingathering. "The festival of tabernacles, as originally instituted, presents but little symbolism.

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 16:13-17

The Feast of Tabernacles-life a tented state. This was the third great festival, and it was after all the harvest and vintage had been gathered home. It was celebrated in the seventh month, from the fifteenth day to the twenty-second. It is also noticeable that it began five days after the great Day of Atonement, which was on the tenth day of this same seventh month. Sin pardoned, and the harvest saved, these were surely twin blessings at which poor sinners might well rejoice. I. THE ... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Deuteronomy 16:9-12

Feast of Weeks; and Deuteronomy 16:13-17, Feast of Tabernacles. Nothing is here added to the rules given in Leviticus and Numbers except the clauses so often recurring in Deuteronomy and so characteristic of it, which restrict the public celebration of the festivals to the sanctuary, and enjoin that the enjoyments of them should be extended to the Levites, widows, orphans, etc. read more

Thou beginnest to put the sickle to the corn To reap the first-fruits of the barley-harvest, the wave sheaf in particular, which was offered to the Lord on the sixteenth day of that month.
