What the Scriptures says about Sukkot or Feast of Tabernacles


1) All of the men of Israel came together to where king Solomon was. It was at the time of the Feast of Booths. The Feast was held in the month of Ethanim. That’s the seventh month.

1st Kings 8:2


2) Yahovah spoke to Moses. He said, “Say to the people of Israel, ‘On the 15th day of the seventh month my Feast of Booths begins. It lasts for seven days.“ ‘On the first day you must come together for a special service. Do not do any regular work on that day. On each of the seven days bring an offering that is made to me with fire. On the eighth day come together for a special service. Bring an offering that is made to me with fire. That special service is the closing service. Do not do any regular work on that day.“ ‘Those are my appointed Feasts. Tell the people that they must come together for those sacred Feast. Durning these times, the people must bring offerings that are made to me with fire. They are burnt offerings and grain offerings. They are sacrifices and drink offerings. Each offering must be brought at it’s required time. “ ‘ The Feasts are addition to my sabbath days. The offerings are in addition to your gifts and anything you have promised. They are also in addition to all of the offerings you choose to give me. “ ‘ Begin with the 15th day of the seventh month. That is after you have gathered your crops. On that day celebrate my Feast of Booths for seven days. The first day is a day of rest. The eighth day is also a day of rest. On the first day you must get the best fruit from the trees. You must also get palm leaves, leafy branches and poplar branches. You must be filled with joy in my sight for seven days. I’am Yahovah your Elohim. “ ‘ Celebrate my Feast of Booths for seven day each year. That is a law that will last for all time to come. Celebrate the Feast in the seventh month. Live in Booths for seven days. All of the people of Israel must live in Booths. Then your children after you will know that I made the people of Israel live in Booths. I made them so it after I brought them out of Egypt. I am Yahovah your Elohim.’ ”So Moses announced to the people of Israel the appointed Feasts of Yahovah.

They were supposed to announce, “ Go out into the central hill country. Bring back some branches from olive and wild olive trees. Also bring some from myrtle, palm and shade trees. Use the branches to make Booths.” So the people went out and brought some branches back. They built themselves Booths on their own roofs. They made them in their courtyards. They put them up in the courtyards of the house of Yahweh. They built them in the open area in front of the water gate. And they built them in the open area in front of the gate of Ephraim. All those who had returned from Babylonia made Booths. They lived in them durning the Feast of Booths. They hadn’t celebrated the Feast with so much joy for a long time.
