Jesus observed the Feast of Tabernacles during His life and we are to follow His example. His attendance at the Feast of Tabernacles is recorded in John 7:2-14.

During the Feast of Tabernacles God's people were instructed to go to a place He would designate. When they got there He told them to construct temporary living quarters (often called booths). These two acts help us remember that we are merely sojourners during the days of our life and that our existence in this world is temporary.

The Feast of Tabernacles is a time when God's people are to gather together to worship and to hear His words. Every 7 years God's people are to read aloud His laws and commands so they can listen and learn to obey (Deuteronomy 31:10-13).

The Feast of Tabernacles is a seven day long religious observance that takes place after the final harvest season in the fall of the year.
