Also in the fifteenth day of the seventh month, etc.] The month Tisri or September, the same month, and the same day of the month before observed; only another end and use of this feast is remarked, which was to give thanks for the fruits of the earth gathered in, as follows: when ye have gathered in the fruit of the land; the barley, wheat, oil and wine, and all others, this being now autumn, when the several fruits were ripe and gathered: ye shall keep a feast unto the Lord seven days; not different from that before mentioned, but the same, one design of which is here suggested, to give thanks for the fruits of the earth: hence this feast is sometimes called the feast of ingathering, (<022316>Exodus 23:16 34:22); as another use of it is after mentioned, to commemorate the children of Israel dwelling in booths in the wilderness: on the first day [shall be] a sabbath, and on the eighth day [shall be] a sabbath; because on both there was a cessation from servile work, (<032335>Leviticus 23:35,36).
