This feast is one of the three major pilgrimage festivals in Judaism, during which the Israelites were commanded to dwell in temporary shelters to commemorate their ancestors' journey through the wilderness after the Exodus from Egypt. It is a time of thanksgiving for the harvest and God's provision.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>The Feast of Tabernacles, or Sukkot, is celebrated for seven days, starting on the 15th day of the Hebrew month of Tishrei (usually late September to late October). It is a joyful festival marked by the construction of sukkot (booths) where meals are eaten, and sometimes people sleep. The festival is rich in symbolism, reminding the Jewish people of God's faithfulness and protection during their 40 years in the desert. It also has eschatological significance, pointing to the future gathering of all nations to worship the Lord.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/4633.htm">skéné</a> and <a href="/greek/4078.htm">pégnumi</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>the setting up of tents<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>feast of Booths (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 4634: σκηνοπηγία</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">σκηνοπηγία</span></span>, <span class="greek2">σκηνοπηγίας</span>, <span class="greek2">ἡ</span> (<span class="greek2">σκηνή</span> and <span class="greek2">πήγνυμι</span>, cf. <a href="/interlinear/hebrews/8-2.htm">Hebrews 8:2</a>); <p><span class="textheading">1.</span> <span class="accented">the construction of a tabernacle or tabernacles</span>: <span class="greek2">ἡ</span> <span class="greek2">τῆς</span> <span class="greek2">χελιδονος</span>, the skill of the swallow in building its nest, <span class="abbreviation">Aristotle</span>, h. a. 9, 7 (p. 612{b}, 22). <p><span class="textheading">2.</span> <span class="accented">the feast of tabernacles</span>: <a href="/interlinear/john/7-2.htm">John 7:2</a>.
