Feast of Booths also known as Feast of Tabernacles (Hebrew name, Sukkot) was the last of the fall festivals and was held at the end of the agricultural year when the grapes and olives were harvested in Israel.
This was a time to thank God for all of the preceding year’s provision and to pray for a good rainy season, which lasted from October through March.
Sukkot was designed to remember the wilderness journey from Egypt to Canaan, when God made the people live in booths (Lev. 23:33–43).
During the time of the feast, each Israelite family was supposed to construct a booth, or sukkah, and live in it for a week. These booths were small, temporary shelters with thatched roofs of palm fronds and other plants, and according to one interpretation of verse 41, they were decorated with different kinds of fruit that grew in Palestine.
On the Hebrew/Biblical calendar a day begins and ends at dusk; therefore feasts begins and ends at sundown. Check out the 2016 dates for the Biblically commanded Feasts at Messianicsabbath.com.
