In the seventh month came the Feast of Tabernacles, or of ingathering. This feast acknowledged God's bounty in the products of the orchard, the olive grove, and the vineyard. It was the crowning festal gathering of the year. The land had yielded its increase, the harvests had been gathered into the granaries, the fruits, the oil, and the wine had been stored, the first fruits had been reserved, and now the people came with their tributes of thanksgiving to God, who had thus richly blessed them.

I den syvende måned faldt løvhyttefesten eller højtiden for høsten. Denne fest blev fejret som en anerkendelse af Guds rige gaver i frugthaven, olivenlunden og vingården. Det var den sidste festlige samling i året. Landet havde båret sin afgrøde, høsten var bragt til forrådshusene, frugten, olien og vinen var bragt hjem, førstegrøden var frembåret, og nu bragte folket deres takofre til Gud, som havde velsignet dem så rigt.
