Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Deuteronomy 16:1-17

Much of the communion between God and his people Israel was kept up, and a face of religion preserved in the nation, by the three yearly feasts, the institution of which, and the laws concerning them, we have several times met with already; and here they are repeated. I. The law of the passover, so great a solemnity that it made the whole month, in the midst of which it was placed, considerable: Observe the month Abib, Deut. 16:1. Though one week only of this month was to be kept as a... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 16:16

Three times a year shall all thy males appear before the Lord thy God ,.... This has been observed before, Exodus 23:17 , and is repeated here for the sake of mentioning the place where they were to appear, which before now was not observed, and indeed it is chiefly for that the other festivals are here recited: in the place which he shall choose ; which though not expressed is now easily understood; and the three times at which they were to appear there were, in the feast of... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 16:17

Every man shall give as he is able ,.... The quantity to be given is not fixed in the law, but the wise men appointed it, as observed on Deuteronomy 16:16 but it is left by the Lord to the generosity of the people, only giving this general rule, that they should do according to their ability, and as the Lord had prospered them; see 1 Corinthians 16:2 so Jarchi,"every man that hath many eatables and much goods shall bring many burnt offerings and many peace offerings.' read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 16:16

Verse 16 16.Three times in a year. We have previously said that although the other feast-days were not to be neglected, still, because God would make some allowance for the infirmity of His people, the necessity of going up to Jerusalem five times a year was not imposed upon them. Again, because only half of the seventh month contained three feast-days, i.e., from the first to the fifteenth, for the same reason it is only required of the males that they should leave their houses and celebrate... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 16:9-17

The Feasts of Weeks and of Tabernacles. For the moral improvement of the Hebrews, it was desirable to keep alive among them the recollection of their early history. Prior to the invention of printing, and when written records would be scarce, memory and affection and conscience were impressed by the annual festivals. The Passover commemorated the national birth; the Feast of Tabernacles commemorated the tent life of the desert. The joys of harvest and of vintage were things unknown in the... 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. Its primary design was to give expression to joy and gratitude in view of the products of the earth, every kind of which had now been gathered; and it was therefore also called the Festival of Ingathering." As the Passover commemorated the first deliverance, so the Feast of Booths would recall the wilderness life. And "nothing was more natural than to... read more

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
