The Feast of Tabernacles, or harvest festival, with its offerings from orchard and field, its week's encampment in the leafy booths, its social reunions, the sacred memorial service, and the generous hospitality to God's workers, 43 the Levites of the sanctuary, and to His children, the strangers and the poor, uplifted all minds in gratitude to Him who had crowned the year with His goodness, and whose paths dropped fatness.

Løvhyttefesten eller høstfesten med dens offergaver fra frugthave og mark, dens ugelange ophold i de løvrige hytter, dens fælles sammenkomster, den hellige mindegudstjeneste og den gavmilde gæstfrihed over for Guds tjenere, levitterne fra helligdommen, og over for hans børn: de fremmede og de fattige, fik alles tanker til i taknemmelighed at stige op til ham, der havde kronet året med sin herlighed, og hvis vognspor flød af fedme.
