The New John Gill Exposition of the Entire Bible Deuteronomy 16:15
Seven days shalt thou keep a solemn feast unto the Lord thy
God…
The feast of tabernacles still spoken of:
in the place which the Lord thy God shall choose:
the city of
Jerusalem:
because the Lord thy God shall bless thee in all thy increase, and in
all the works of thine hands;
both in the increase of their fields,
vineyards, and oliveyards, and also in their several handicraft trades
and occupations they were employed in; so Aben Ezra interprets all the
works of their hands of merchandise and manufactories:
therefore thou shalt surely rejoice;
extremely, heartily, and
sincerely, and not fail to express joy on this occasion, and manifest
it by a generous freewill offering to the Lord, and a bountiful
entertainment for himself, his family, friends, and others.
