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.
