Sukk'ot — Feast of Tabernacles

The Feast of Ingathering · Tishri 15 · A God-Ordained High Holy Day

Sukk'ot (The Feast of Tabernacles), beginning on Tishri 15, is the third of God's three ordained Annual High Sabbaths — the "Pilgrimage" Sabbaths. It is a 7-day feast during which God commanded Israel to dwell in temporary booths (sukkahs) to commemorate the wilderness wandering.

Christ Jesus was born on the first day of Sukk'ot — Tishri 15, the year 3758 on the Hebrew calendar (October 4, BCE 4). He was literally born in a sukkah (tabernacle / booth) and placed in a manger (food crib) — demonstrating in a "Type" that He is the Bread of Life from heaven.

The Feast of Tabernacles is one of the three God-ordained High Holy Days (Annual High Sabbaths). The other two are Nisan 15 (first day of Unleavened Bread) and Shavu'ot (Pentecost, 50 days from the Sunday following Passover).
