Deuteronomy 16:15 Meaning and Commentary

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.

Deuteronomy 16:15 In-Context

13 You are to celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles for seven days after you have gathered the produce of your threshing floor and your winepress.
14 And you shall rejoice in your feast—you, your sons and daughters, your menservants and maidservants, and the Levite, as well as the foreigner, the fatherless, and the widows among you.
15 For seven days you shall celebrate a feast to the LORD your God in the place He will choose, because the LORD your God will bless you in all your produce and in all the work of your hands, so that your joy will be complete.
16 Three times a year all your men are to appear before the LORD your God in the place He will choose: at the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the Feast of Weeks, and the Feast of Tabernacles. No one should appear before the LORD empty-handed.
17 Everyone must appear with a gift as he is able, according to the blessing the LORD your God has given you.
