Gathering in Jerusalem signifies a unified act of worship and commitment to God, reflecting the importance of the city as a spiritual center. This gathering was likely a large assembly, emphasizing the communal nature of their covenant renewal. The act of gathering in Jerusalem also connects to the idea of pilgrimage, as seen in other parts of Scripture, such as the feasts where Israelites were commanded to appear before the Lord (<a href="/deuteronomy/16-16.htm">Deuteronomy 16:16</a>).<p><b>in the third month</b><br>The third month in the Hebrew calendar is Sivan, which corresponds to late May or early June. This timing is significant as it coincides with the Feast of Weeks (Shavuot), a time of thanksgiving for the harvest and the giving of the Law at Sinai. The choice of this month for the gathering underscores a theme of renewal and recommitment to God's laws and blessings. It also highlights the agricultural cycle, as this was a time of firstfruits, symbolizing new beginnings and dedication.<p><b>of the fifteenth year of Asa’s reign</b><br>Asa was the king of Judah, known for his religious reforms and efforts to rid the land of idolatry. The fifteenth year of his reign marks a period of relative peace and stability, allowing for spiritual renewal. Asa's reign is characterized by a return to the worship of Yahweh, and this gathering is part of his broader reform efforts.
