Pertanyaan: 614. 3 — Pesta Pondok Daun.
Pesta Pondok Daun, yang diadakan setelah panen dan anggur, dimulai pada tanggal lima belas bulan ketujuh dan berlangsung selama tujuh hari (Ulangan 16:13; Imamat 23:34, 39; Imamat 23:41; Ulangan 16:13-15). Pesta ini disebut "pesta panen" (Keluaran 34:23). Hari pertama dan terakhir adalah hari-hari pertemuan kudus di mana korban dipersembahkan (Imamat 23:35, 39; Imamat 23:37). Pesta ini harus dirayakan dengan sukacita dan secara terus-menerus. Selama pesta, orang-orang tinggal di pondok-pondok, membawa cabang palem, mengambil air dari Kolam Siloam, dan menyanyikan hosanna, semuanya untuk memperingati perjalanan Israel di padang gurun (Imamat 23:42; Imamat 23:40; Yesaya 12:3; Mazmur 118:24-29; Imamat 23:43).
Question: 614. 3 — The Feast of Tabernacles.
The Feast of Tabernacles, held after harvest and vintage, began the fifteenth of the seventh month and lasted seven days (Deu. 16:13; Lev. 23 : 34, 39; Lev. 23:41; Deu. 16:13-15). It was called the "feast of ingathering" (Ex. 34:23). The first and last days were days of holy convocations at which sacrifices were offered (Lev. 23: 35, 39; Lev. 23:37). It was to be observed with rejoicing and perpetually. During the feast the people dwelt in booths, bore branches of palms, drew water from the Pool of Siloam and sang hosannas, all to commemorate the sojourn of Israel in the desert (Lev. 23:42; Lev. 23:40; Isa. 12: 3; Psa. 118:24-29; Lev. 23: 43).
