This term appears in contexts such as John 7:2 (BSB), "But soon it was time for the Jewish Feast of Tabernacles."<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The term "chagga" refers to a festival or feast, often associated with religious celebrations in ancient Israel. It is used to denote times of communal gathering, worship, and celebration, typically involving sacrifices, offerings, and joyous activities. These feasts were central to the religious and social life of the Israelites, serving as times of remembrance, thanksgiving, and covenant renewal.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, feasts were integral to the religious calendar, marking significant events in the nation's history and agricultural cycles. The major feasts included Passover (Pesach), the Feast of Weeks (Shavuot), and the Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot). These festivals were times of pilgrimage to Jerusalem, where the Israelites would gather to worship at the Temple. The feasts were not only religious observances but also times of social unity and cultural identity, reinforcing the community's relationship with God and each other.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>of uncertain derivation<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a reeling<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>terror (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">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">חָגָּא</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun [feminine]</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>reeling</b></font> (Aramaism for <font class="hebrew2">חגה</font> Ew<sup>§ 173 b, by copyist's error</sup> Di) — <font class="hebrew2">וְהָֽיְתָהל֗֗֗מצרים</font> <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">לח</font> <a href="/interlinear/isaiah/19-17.htm">Isaiah 19:17</a> and the land of Judah <em>shall become to Egypt a reeling</em>, i.e. Egypt shall reel in terror at the sight of it ("" <font class="hebrew2">יִפְחָ֑ד</font>;
