This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

This feast was appointed principally to remind them of that time when they had no other dwellings in the wilderness, as it is expressed Lev_23:43, and to stir them up to bless God as well for the gracious conduct and protection then afforded them, as for their more commodious and secure habitations now given them; and secondarily, to excite them to gratitude for all the fruits of the year newly ended, which were now completely brought in, as may be gathered from Lev_23:39 Exo_23:16 Deu_16:13,14. See an instance of this feast Neh_8:16.
