“And ye shall keep it a feast unto the Lord seven days in the year. It shall be a statute for ever in your generations: ye shall celebrate it in the seventh month.”
Celebrate this as a festival to the Lord for seven days each year. This is to be a lasting ordinance for the generations to come; celebrate it in the seventh month. The lasting ordinance for the Festival of Tabernacles: seven days, each year, in the seventh month. The annual return to the celebration of God's provision through the harvest and the wilderness sojourn creates the covenant community's memory of dependence. John 7 records Jesus at the Festival of Tabernacles — the feast he attended in Jerusalem and used as the occasion for his declarations about living water and light.
