THE FIRE OFFERING: THE DAILY CONTINUAL ELEVATION OFFERING (ASCENSION OFFERING, BURNT OFFERING)
[THE SHABBATH OFFERING (Depending on the day and year)]
This was a solemn day. It is not to be a festive type day, and that is why the fewness of the offerings, which will be shown shortly.
These are the Commandments regarding the Daily Fire Offerings and the Shabbath Offerings, which is noted in the book of Numbers
Numbers 28:3-8
THE DAILY FIRE OFFERING
- Num 8:23 And you shall say to them, This is the Fire Offering which you shall bring near to hwhy; two perfect sheep of sons of a year by the day, of a Continual Elevation Offering (Ascension Offering, Burnt Offering). 4 You shall do ta-the one sheep in the breaking period (morning), and you shall do ta the second sheep between the mixing periods (evenings); 5 and the tenth of the ephah of flour for a Donation (Food, Grain) Offering, mixed (overflowed) in beaten (?stamped?) oil, of a fourth of the hin. 6 A Continual Elevation Offering (Ascension Offering, Burnt Offering) that was done on Mount Sinai for a pleasant scent of a Fire Offering to hwhy, 7 and his Drink Offering shall be a fourth of the hin for the one sheep: in the Sanctuary shall be the pouring of the Strong Drink Offering to hwhy. 8 And you shall do ta the second sheep between the mixing periods (evenings): as a Donation Offering (Food Offering, Grain Offering) of the breaking period (morning), and as his Drink Offering, you shall do of a Fire Offering of a pleasant scent to hwhy.
- THE FIRE OFFERING: THE DAILY CONTINUAL ELEVATION (ASCENSION, BURNT) OFFERING
- *Two perfect lambs, sons of a year- the first lamb in the breaking period (morning) and the second lamb between the mixing periods (evenings)
- THE DONATION OFFERING (FOOD OFFERING, GRAIN OFFERING)
- *1/10 of the Ephah of flour, mixed in 1/4 of a hin of oil beaten (similar to Leviticus 2:1-3 [Note: the adding of frankincense is not mentioned])
- THE DRINK OFFERING
- *1/4 of the hin [of wine], and in the Holy Sanctuary the priests pour the strong drink to hwhy
According to www.convert-me.com
- An Ephah is 5.586 gallons.
- A Hin is 0.9309 gallons.
- A Hin is 0.9309 gallons.
Numbers 28:9-10
- Num 28:9 And on the Shabbath day shall be two perfect sheep of sons of a year, and two tenths of flour of a Donation Offering (Food Offering, Grain Offering) mixed (overflowed) in the oil, and his Drink Offering: 10 the Elevation Offering (Ascension Offering, Burnt Offering) of the Shabbath, on his Shabbath, upon the Continual Elevation Offering (Ascension Offering, Burnt Offering), and her Drink Offering.
- THE SHABBATH
OFFERING
*Two perfect lambs, sons of a year
THE DONATION OFFERING (FOOD OFFERING, GRAIN OFFERING)
2/10 ephah of flour mixed in oil
THE FIRE OFFERING: THE DAILY CONTINUAL ELEVATION ACENSION OFFERING, BURNT OFFERING)
*Without The Food Offering
Practically, it is close to a double Fire Offering. The Daily Fire Offering in this case did not include the Food Offering. Maybe it is hwhy's Mercy on them, because it is the Shabbath, and there was already a Food (Grain) Offering. I'm guessing the other Drink Offering is the same requirement as the one for the Daily Fire Offering.
hwhy also wants us to sacrifice our desire to work on the seventh day by resting on the Shabbath and to have fellowship with Him.
This would make a great tradition to read these sacrifices each day during the eight days of Sukkoth/Solemn Assembly.
According to Eddie Chumney of Hebraic Heritage Ministries International, adding all of the bullocks together in these seven days of sacrifices, they total to seventy bullocks, symbolized the same number as the number of souls of Jacob and his descendants that went down to Egypt.
This is a precursor Biblical account in which the ark of Noah rested on Mount Ararat during the time of Sukkoth, which is noted in the book of Genesis
Genesis 8:1-4
Gen 8:1 And Elohim remembered ta-Noah, and ta-all of the animals, and ta-all of the animals that was with him in the ark: and Elohim made a wind to go over upon the Earth, and the waters returned; 2 And the eye-fountains of the deep and the windows of the Heavens had stopped (surrendered), and the gushing from the Heavens was restrained; 3 and going and retreating, the waters had returned from upon the Earth: and of the end of fifty and a hundred days, the waters were subsiding. 4 And the ark, she rested in the seventh renewed month, on the seven ten (seventeen, seventeenth) day of the renewed month, upon the mountains of Ararat.
The ark had rested on the mountains of Ararat during the feast of Sukkoth. It is a probability that it rested on the regular Shabbath during Sukkoth.
The Southern House of Judah celebrated Sukkoth in Jerusalem after their return from Babylonian captivity, which is noted in the books of Ezra and Nehemiah
Ezra 3:1-5
Ezra 3:1 And when the seventh month was come, and the Sons of Israel were in the cities, the People gathered themselves together as one man to Jerusalem. 2 Then stood up Jeshua, the son of Jozadak, and his brethren, the Priests, and Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, and his brethren, and builded ta-the Altar of the Elohim of Israel, to elevate Elevation Offerings thereon, as it is written in the Torah of Moses, the man of Elohim. 3 And they set the Altar upon his bases; for fear was upon them because of the people of those countries: and they offered Elevation Offerings thereon unto hwhy, even Elevation Offerings morning and evening. 4 They kept also ta-the Feast of Sukkoth, as it is written, and the Daily Elevation Offerings day on day, according to the Ordinance, as the duty of every day required; 5 And afterward were the Continual Elevation Offering, both of the New Moons, and of all of the Appointed Times of hwhy that were consecrated, and of every one that willingly offered a Freewill Offering unto hwhy.
Nehemiah 8:13-18
Neh 8:13 And on the second day were gathered together the Chief of the fathers of all of the People, the Priests, and the Levites, unto Ezra, the Scribe, even to understand the Words of the Torah. 14 And they found written in the Torah which hwhy had commanded by Moses, that the Sons of Israel should dwell in booths in the feast of the seventh month: 15 And that they should publish and proclaim in all of their cities, and in Jerusalem, saying, Go forth unto the mountain, and fetch olive branches, and pine branches, and myrtle branches, and palm branches, and branches of thick trees, to make booths, as it is written. 16 So the People went forth, and brought them, and made themselves booths, every one upon the roof of his house, and in their courts, and in the courts of the house of Elohim, and in the street of the water gate, and in the street of the gate of Ephraim. 17 And all of the Congregation of them that were come again out of the captivity made booths, and sat under the booths: for since the days of Jeshua, son of Nun, unto that day had not the Sons of Israel done so. And there was very great gladness. 18 Also day by day, from the first day unto the last day, he read in the Scroll of the Torah of Elohim. And they kept the feast seven days; and on the eighth day was a Solemn Assembly, according unto the Ordinance.
Indirectly related, the prophet Hosea prophesied against the Northern Kingdom of Israel in their pride to dwell in booths, which is noted in his book
Hosea 12:8-9
Hos 12:8 And Ephraim said, Yet I am become rich, I have found me out substance: in all of my labours they shall find none iniquity in me that were sin. 12:9 And I that am hwhy, thy Elohim, from the land of Egypt will yet make thee to dwell in tabernacles, as in the days of the Solemn Feast.
Ephraim's judgment was to live in booths during the eight days as a judgment and to live in solemnity.
King Solomon commemorated the finished built Temple and dedicated it to hwhy on Sukkoth, whcih is noted in the books of the Kings and the Chronicles. It is long, but it is a very Sukkoth interesting event.
1 Kings 8:1-66
1Ki 8:1 Then Solomon assembled ta-the Elders of Israel, and ta-all the heads of the tribes, the Chief of the fathers of the Sons of Israel, unto king Solomon in Jerusalem, that they might bring up ta-the Ark of the Covenant of hwhy out of the City of David, which is Zion. 2 And all of the Men of Israel assembled themselves unto king Solomon at the feast in the month Ethanim, which is the seventh month. 3 And all of the Elders of Israel came, and the Priests took up the ark. 4 And they brought up the Ark of hwhy, and the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and all the Holy Vessels that were in the Tabernacle, even those did the Priests and the Levites bring up. 5 And king Solomon, and all of the Congregation of Israel, that were assembled unto him, were with him before the Ark, sacrificing sheep and oxen, that could not be told nor numbered for multitude. 6 And the Priests brought in the Ark of the Covenant of hwhy unto his place, into the Oracle of the House, to the Holy of Holies, even under the wings of the Cherubims. 7 For the Cherubims spread forth their two wings over the place of the Ark, and the Cherubims covered the Ark and the Staves thereof above. 8 And they drew out the Staves, that the ends of the Staves were seen out in the Holy Place before the Oracle, and they were not seen without: and there they are unto this day. 9 There was nothing in the Ark save the Two Tablets of Stone, which Moses put there at Horeb, when hwhy made a Covenant with the Sons of Israel, when they came out of the land of Egypt. 10 And it came to pass, when the Priests were come out of the Holy Place, that the Cloud filled ta-the House of hwhy, 11 So that the Priests could not stand to minister because of the Cloud: for the Glory of hwhy had filled ta-the House of hwhy. 12 Then spake Solomon, hwhy said that he would dwell in the thick darkness. 13 I have surely built thee an House to dwell in, a settled place for thee to abide in for ever. 14 And the king turned ta-his face about, and blessed ta all the Congregation of Israel: (and all of the Congregation of Israel stood;) 15 And he said, Blessed be hwhy Elohim of Israel, which spake with His Mouth unto ta David my father, and hath with his hand fulfilled it, saying, 16 Since the day that I brought forth My People, Israel, out of Egypt, I chose no city out of all of the tribes of Israel to build an House, that My Name might be therein; but I chose David to be over ta-My People Israel. 17 And it was in the heart of David my father to build an House for the Name of hwhy Elohim of Israel. 18 And hwhy said unto David, my father, Whereas it was in thine heart to build an House unto My Name, thou didst well that it was in thine heart. 19 Nevertheless thou shalt not build the House; but thy son that shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall build the House unto My Name. 20 And hwhy hath performed ta-His Word that He spake, and I am risen up in the room of David, my father, and sit on the throne of Israel, as hwhy promised, and have built an House for the Name of hwhy, Elohim of Israel. 21 And I have set there a place for the Ark, wherein is the Covenant of hwhy, which He made with our fathers, when He brought them out of the land of Egypt. 22 And Solomon stood before the Altar of hwhy in the presence of all of the Congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands toward the heavens: 23 And he said, hwhy, Elohim of Israel, there is no Elohim like Thee, in the Heavens above, or on Earth beneath, who keepest Covenant and mercy with Thy servants that walk before Thee with all of their heart: 24 Who hast kept with Thy servant, David, my father, that Thou promisedst him: ta Thou spakest also with Thy Mouth, and hast fulfilled it with Thine Hand, as it is this day. 25 Therefore now, hwhy, Elohim of Israel, keep with Thy servant David, my father, that ta Thou spakest him, saying, There shall not fail thee a man in My Face to sit on the throne of Israel; so that thy Sons take heed to ta-their way, that they walk before Me as thou hast walked before Me. 26 And now, O Elohim of Israel, let Thy Word, I pray thee, be verified, which Thou spakest unto Thy servant, David, my father. 27 But will Elohim indeed dwell on the earth? Behold, the Heavens and Heaven of Heavens cannot contain Thee; how much less this House that I have builded? 28 Yet have Thou respect unto the prayer of Thy servant, and to his supplication, O hwhy, my Elohim, to hearken unto the cry and to the prayer, which Thy servant prayeth before Thee to day: 29 That Thine Eyes may be open toward this House night and day, even toward the Place of which Thou hast said, My Name shall be there: that Thou mayest hearken unto the prayer which Thy servant shall make toward this Place. 30 And hearken Thou to the supplication of Thy servant, and of Thy People, Israel, when they shall pray toward this Place: and hear Thou in the heavens Thy Dwelling Place: and when Thou hearest, forgive. 31 If ta any man trespass against his neighbour, and an oath be laid upon him to cause him to swear, and the oath come before Thine Altar in this House: 32 Then hear Thou in the Heavens, and do, and judge ta-Thy servants, condemning the wicked, to bring his way upon his head; and justifying the righteous, to give him according to his righteousness. 33 When Thy People, Israel, be smitten down before the enemy, because they have sinned against Thee, and shall turn again to Thee, and confess ta-Thy Name, and pray, and make supplication unto Thee in this House: 34 Then hear Thou in the Heavens, and forgive the sin of Thy People, Israel, and bring them again unto the land which Thou gavest unto their fathers. 35 When Heavens is shut up, and there is no rain, because they have sinned against Thee; if they pray toward this Place, and confess ta-Thy Name, and turn from their sin, when Thou afflictest them: 36 Then hear Thou in Heavens, and forgive the sin of Thy servants, and of Thy People, Israel, that Thou teach them ta-the good way wherein they should walk, and give rain upon Thy Land, which Thou hast given to Thy People for an inheritance. 37 If there be in the land famine, if there be pestilence, blasting, mildew, locust, or if there be caterpiller; if their enemy besiege them in the land of their cities; whatsoever plague, whatsoever sickness there be; 38 What prayer and supplication soever be made by any man, or by all of Thy People, Israel, which shall know every man the plague of his own heart, and spread forth his hands toward this House: 39 Then hear Thou in Heavens Thy Dwelling Place, and forgive, and do, and give to every man according to his ways, ta-whose heart Thou knowest; (for Thou, even Thou only, knowest ta-the hearts of all the sons of Adam;) 40 That they may fear Thee all of the days that they live in the Land which Thou gavest unto our fathers. 41 Moreover concerning a stranger, that is not of Thy People, Israel, but cometh out of a far country for Thy Name's Sake; 42 (For they shall hear of ta-Thy Great Name, and of ta-Thy Strong Hand, and of Thy Stretched Out Arm;) when he shall come and pray toward this House; 43 Hear Thou in heavens Thy Dwelling Place, and do according to all that the stranger calleth to Thee for: that all people of the earth may know ta-Thy Name, to fear Thee, as do Thy People, Israel; and that they may know that this House, which I have builded, is called by Thy Name. 44 If Thy People go out to battle against their enemy, whithersoever Thou shalt send them, and shall pray unto hwhy toward the City which Thou hast chosen, and toward the House that I have built for Thy Name: 45 Then hear Thou in heavens ta-their prayer and ta-their supplication, and maintain their cause. 46 If they sin against Thee, (for there is no man that sinneth not,) and Thou be angry with them, and deliver them to the enemy, so that they carry them away captives unto the land of the enemy, far or near; 47 Yet if they shall bethink themselves in the land whither they were carried captives, and repent, and make supplication unto Thee in the land of them that carried them captives, saying, We have sinned, and have done perversely, we have committed wickedness; 48 And so return unto Thee with all of their heart, and with all their soul, in the land of their enemies, which led them away captive, and pray unto thee toward their land, which thou gavest unto their fathers, the City which Thou hast chosen, and the House which I have built for Thy Name: 49 Then hear Thou their prayer and their supplication in Heavens Thy Dwelling Place, and maintain their cause, 50 And forgive Thy People that have sinned against Thee, and all their transgressions wherein they have transgressed against Thee, and give them compassion before them who carried them captive, that they may have compassion on them: 51 For they be Thy People, and thine inheritance, which Thou broughtest forth out of Egypt, from the midst of the furnace of iron: 52 That Thine Eyes may be open unto the supplication of Thy servant, and unto the supplication of Thy People, Israel, to hearken unto them in all that they call for unto Thee. 53 For Thou didst separate them from among all of the people of the earth, to be Thine inheritance, as Thou spakest by the hand of Moses, Thy servant, when Thou broughtest ta-our fathers out of Egypt, O Adonai hwhy. 54 And it was so, that when Solomon had made an end of praying ta all this prayer and supplication unto hwhy, he arose from before the Altar of hwhy, from kneeling on his knees with his hands spread up to the Heavens. 55 And he stood, and blessed ta all of the Congregation of Israel with a loud voice, saying, 56 Blessed be hwhy, that hath given rest unto His People, Israel, according to all that He promised: there hath not failed one Word of all His Good Promise, which He promised by the hand of Moses, His servant. 57 hwhy, our Elohim, be with us, as He was with our fathers: let Him not leave us, nor forsake us: 58 That He may incline our hearts unto Him, to walk in all His Ways, and to keep HisCommandments, and His Statutes, and His Judgments, which He commanded ta-our fathers. 59 And let these my words, wherewith I have made supplication before hwhy, be nigh unto hwhy, our Elohim, day and night, that He maintain the cause of His servant, and the cause of His People, Israel, at all times, as the matter shall require: 60 That all of the people of the earth may know that hwhy is Elohim, and that there is none else. 61 Let your heart therefore be perfect with hwhy, our Elohim, to walk in His Statutes, and to keep His Commandments, as at this day. 62 And the king, and all of Israel with him, sacrificed a Sacrifice before hwhy. 63 And Solomon offered ta a Sacrifice of Peace Offerings, which he sacrificed unto hwhy, two and twenty thousand oxen, and an hundred and twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all of the Sons of Israel dedicated ta-the House of hwhy. 64 The same day did the king hallow ta-the middle of the Court that was before the House of hwhy: for there he offered ta-the Elevation Offerings, and ta-the Food (Grain) Offerings, and ta the fat of the Peace Offerings: because the Copper Altar that was before hwhy was too little to receive ta-the Elevation Offerings, and ta-the Food (Grain) Offerings, and ta the kheylev-fat of the Peace Offerings. 65 And at that time Solomon held ta-the Feast, and all of Israel with him, a great Congregation, from the entering in of Hamath unto the river of Egypt, before hwhy, our Elohim, seven days and seven days, even fourteen days. 66 On the eighth day he sent ta-the People away: and they blessed ta-the king, and went unto their tents joyful and glad of heart for all of the goodness that hwhy had done for David, His servant, and for Israel, His People.
2 Chronicles 5:1-7:10
2Ch 5:1 Thus all the work that Solomon made for the House of hwhy was finished: and Solomon brought in ta-all of the things that David his father had dedicated; and ta-the silver, and ta-the gold, and ta-all of the Instruments, put he among the treasures of the House of Elohim. 2 Then Solomon assembled ta-the Elders of Israel, and ta-all of the Heads of the Tribes, the Chief of the Fathers of the Sons of Israel, unto Jerusalem, to bring up ta-the Ark of the Covenant of hwhy out of the City of David, which is Zion. 3 Wherefore all of the Men of Israel assembled themselves unto the king in the Feast which was in the seventh month. 4 And all of the Elders of Israel came; and the Levites took up ta-the Ark. 5 And they brought up ta-the Ark, and ta-the Tent of Appointment, and ta-all of the Holy Vessels that were in the Tent, these did the Priests and the Levites bring up. 6 Also king Solomon, and all of the Congregation of Israel that were assembled unto him before the Ark, sacrificed sheep and oxen, which could not be told nor numbered for multitude. 7 And the Priests brought in ta-the Ark of the Covenant of hwhy unto His Place, to the Oracle of the House, into the most Holy Place, even under the wings of the cherubims: 8 For the cherubims spread forth their wings over the place of the Ark, and the Cherubims covered the Ark and the Staves thereof above. 9 And they drew out the Staves of the Ark, that the ends of the Staves were seen from the Ark before the Oracle; but they were not seen without. And there it is unto this day. 10 There was nothing in the Ark save the Two Tablets which Moses put therein at Horeb, when hwhy made a Covenant with the Sons of Israel, when they came out of Egypt. 11 And it came to pass, when the Priests were come out of the Sanctuary: (for all of the Priests that were present were sanctified, and did not then wait by course: 12 Also the Levites which were the singers, all of them of Asaph, of Heman, of Jeduthun, with their sons and their brethren, being arrayed in white linen, having cymbals and psalteries and harps, stood at the east end of the Altar, and with them an hundred and twenty Priests sounding with Trumpets:) 13 It came even to pass, as the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking hwhy; and when they lifted up their voice with the Trumpets and cymbals and instruments of musick, and praised hwhy, saying, For He is Good; for His Mercy endureth for ever: that then the House was filled with a Cloud, even the House of hwhy; 14 So that the Priests could not stand to minister by reason of the Cloud: for the Glory of hwhy had filled ta-the House of Elohim.
2Ch 6:1 Then said Solomon, hwhy hath said that He would dwell in the thick darkness. 2 But I have built an House of Habitation for Thee, and a Place for Thy Dwelling for ever. 3 And the king turned ta-his face, and blessed ta the whole Congregation of Israel: and all of the Congregation of Israel stood. 4 And he said, Blessed be hwhy, Elohim of Israel, who hath with His Hands fulfilled that which He spake with His Mouth to ta my father, David, saying, 5 Since the day that I brought forth ta-My People out of the land of Egypt I chose no city among all of the Tribes of Israel to build an House in, that My Name might be there; neither chose I any man to be a ruler over My People, Israel: 6 But I have chosen Jerusalem, that My Name might be there; and have chosen David to be over My People, Israel. 7 Now it was in the heart of David, my father, to build an House for the Name of hwhy, Elohim of Israel. 8 But hwhy said to David, my father, Forasmuch as it was in thine heart to build an House for My Name, thou didst well in that it was in thine heart: 9 Notwithstanding thou shalt not build the House; but thy son which shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall build the House for My Name. 10 hwhy therefore hath performed ta-His Word that he hath spoken: for I am risen up in the room of David, my father, and am set on the throne of Israel, as hwhy promised, and have built the House for the Name of hwhy, Elohim of Israel. 11 And in it have I put ta-the Ark, wherein is the Covenant of hwhy, that he made with the Sons of Israel. 12 And he stood before the Altar of hwhy in the presence of all of the Congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands: 13 For Solomon had made a Copper Scaffold, of five cubits long, and five cubits broad, and three cubits high, and had set it in the midst of the Court: and upon it he stood, and kneeled down upon his knees before all of the Congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands toward the heavens, 14 And said, O hwhy, Elohim of Israel, there is no Elohim like Thee in the heavens, nor in the earth; which keepest Covenant, and shewest mercy unto Thy servants, that walk before Thee with all their hearts: 15 Thou which hast kept with Thy servant, David, my father, that ta which Thou hast spakest him; and spakest with Thy Mouth, and hast fulfilled it with Thine Hand, as it is this day. 16 Now therefore, O hwhy, Elohim of Israel, keep with Thy servant, David, my father, that ta which Thou hast spakest him, saying, There shall not fail thee a man in My Face to sit upon the throne of Israel; yet so that Thy sons take heed to ta-their way to walk in My Torah, as thou hast walked before Me. 17 Now then, O hwhy, Elohim of Israel, let Thy Word be verified, which Thou hast spoken unto Thy servant, David. 18 But will Elohim in very deed dwell with ta-the Adam on the earth? Behold, Heavens and the Heaven of the Heavens cannot contain Thee; how much less this House which I have built! 19 Have respect therefore to the prayer of Thy servant, and to his supplication, O hwhy, my Elohim, to hearken unto the cry and the prayer which Thy servant prayeth before Thee: 20 That Thine Eyes may be open upon this House day and night, upon the Place whereof Thou hast said that Thou wouldest put Thy Name there; to hearken unto the prayer which Thy servant prayeth toward this Place. 21 Hearken therefore unto the supplications of Thy servant, and of Thy People, Israel, which they shall make toward this Place: hear Thou from Thy Dwelling Place, even from the Heavens; and when Thou hearest, forgive. 22 If a man sin against his neighbour, and an oath be laid upon him to make him swear, and the oath come before Thine Altar in this House; 23 Then hear Thou from the Heavens, and do, and judge ta-Thy servants, by requiting the wicked, by recompensing his way upon his own head; and by justifying the righteous, by giving him according to his righteousness. 24 And if Thy People, Israel, be put to the worse before the enemy, because they have sinned against Thee; and shall return and confess ta-Thy Name, and pray and make supplication before Thee in this House; 25 Then hear Thou from the Heavens, and forgive the sin of Thy People, Israel, and bring them again unto the land which Thou gavest to them and to their fathers. 26 When the Heavens is shut up, and there is no rain, because they have sinned against Thee; yet if they pray toward this Place, and confess ta-Thy Name, and turn from their sin, when Thou dost afflict them; 27 Then hear Thou from the Heavens, and forgive the sin of Thy servants, and of Thy People, Israel, when Thou hast taught them the good way, wherein they should walk; and send rain upon Thy Land, which Thou hast given unto Thy People for an inheritance. 28 If there be dearth in the land, if there be pestilence, if there be blasting, or mildew, locusts, or caterpillers; if their enemies besiege them in the cities of their land; whatsoever sore or whatsoever sickness there be: 29 Then what prayer or what supplication soever shall be made of any man, or of all of Thy People, Israel, when every one shall know his own sore and his own grief, and shall spread forth his hands in this House: 30 Then hear Thou from the Heavens Thy Dwelling Place, and forgive, and render unto every man according unto all of ta-his heart, whose heart Thou knowest; (for Thou only knowest ta-the hearts of the sons of Adam:) 31 That they may fear Thee, to walk in Thy Ways, so long as they live in the Land which Thou gavest unto our fathers. 32 Moreover concerning the stranger, which is not of Thy People, Israel, but is come from a far country for Thy Great Name's Sake, and Thy Mighty Hand, and Thy Stretched Out Arm; if they come and pray in this House; 33 Then hear Thou from the Heavens, even from Thy Dwelling Place, and do according to all that the stranger calleth to Thee for; that all people of the earth may know ta-Thy Name, and fear Thee, as doth Thy People, Israel, and may know that this House which I have built is called by Thy Name. 34 If Thy People go out to war against their enemies by the way that Thou shalt send them, and they pray unto Thee toward this City which Thou hast chosen, and the House which I have built for Thy Name; 35 Then hear Thou from the Heavens ta-their prayer and ta-their supplication, and maintain their cause. 36 If they sin against Thee, (for there is no man which sinneth not,) and thou be angry with them, and deliver them over before their enemies, and they carry them away captives unto a land far off or near; 37 Yet if they bethink themselves in the land whither they are carried captive, and turn and pray unto Thee in the land of their captivity, saying, We have sinned, we have done amiss, and have dealt wickedly; 38 If they return to Thee with all their heart and with all of their soul in the land of their captivity, whither they have carried them captives, and pray toward their land, which Thou gavest unto their fathers, and toward the City which Thou hast chosen, and toward the House which I have built for Thy Name: 39 Then hear Thou from the Heavens, even from Thy Dwelling Place, their prayer and their supplications, and maintain their cause, and forgive Thy People which have sinned against Thee. 40 Now, my Elohim, let, I beseech Thee, Thine Eyes be open, and let Thine Ears be attent unto the prayer that is made in this Place. 41 Now therefore arise, O hwhy Elohim, into Thy Resting Place, thou, and the Ark of Thy Strength: let Thy Priests, O hwhy Elohim, be clothed with Salvation, and let Thy Saints rejoice in goodness. 42 O hwhy Elohim, turn not away the face of Thine anointed: remember the mercies of David, Thy servant.
2Ch 7:1 Now when Solomon had made an end of praying, the Fire came down from the Heavens, and consumed the Elevation Offering and the Sacrifices; and the Glory of hwhy filled ta-the House. 2 And the Priests could not enter into ta-the House of hwhy, because the Glory of hwhy had filled hwhy's House. 3 And when all the Sons of Israel saw how the Fire came down, and the Glory of hwhy upon the House, they bowed themselves with their faces to the ground upon the pavement, and worshipped, and praised hwhy, saying, For He is good; for His Mercy endureth for ever. 4 Then the king and all the People offered Sacrifices before hwhy. 5 And king Solomon offered ta-a Sacrifice of twenty and two thousand oxen, and an hundred and twenty thousand sheep: so the king and all of the People dedicated ta-the House of Elohim. 6 And the Priests waited on their offices: the Levites also with instruments of musick of hwhy, which David, the king, had made to praise hwhy, because His Mercy endureth for ever, when David praised by their ministry; and the Priests sounded Trumpets before them, and all of Israel stood. 7 Moreover Solomon hallowed ta-the middle of the Court that was before the House of hwhy: for there he offered Elevation Offerings, and ta the fat of the Peace Offerings, because the Copper Altar which Solomon had made was not able to receive ta-the Elevation Offerings, and ta-the Food (Grain) Offerings, and ta-the kheylev-fat. 8 Also at the same time Solomon kept ta-the Feast seven days, and all Israel with him, a very great Congregation, from the entering in of Hamath unto the river of Egypt. 9 And in the eighth day they made a Solemn Assembly: for they kept the dedication of the Altar seven days, and the Feast seven days. 10 And on the three and twentieth day of the seventh month he sent ta-the People away into their tents, glad and merry in heart for the goodness that hwhy had shewed unto David, and to Solomon, and to Israel, His People.
This took place on the feast of Sukkoth. This was a prophecy text referring to Yeshua's visitation on earth.
This is an account of Sukkoth in the latter days, which is noted in the book of the prophet Zechariah
Zecariah 14:1-21
Zec 14:1 Behold, the Day of hwhy cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee. 2 For I will gather ta-all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the City shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the People shall not be cut off from the City. 3 Then shall hwhy go forth, and fight against those nations, as when He fought in the day of battle. 4 And His Feet shall stand in that day upon the Mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the Mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the sunrise (east) and toward the sea (west), and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the hidden (north), and half of it toward the negeb (south). 5 And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah, King of Judah: and hwhy, my Elohim, shall come, and all the saints with thee. 6 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not be clear, nor dark: 7 But it shall be one day which shall be known to hwhy, not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light. 8 And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be. 9 And hwhy shall be King over all of the earth: in that day shall there be one hwhy, and His Name one. 10 All the land shall be turned as a plain from Geba to Rimmon, south of Jerusalem: and it shall be lifted up, and inhabited in her place, from Benjamin's Gate unto the place of the First Gate, unto the Corner Gate, and from the Tower of Hananeel unto the King's Winepresses. 11 And men shall dwell in her, and there shall be no more utter destruction; but Jerusalem shall be safely inhabited. 12 And this shall be the plague wherewith hwhy will smite ta-all the People that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth. 13 And it shall come to pass in that day, that a great tumult from hwhy shall be among them; and they shall lay hold every one on the hand of his neighbour, and his hand shall rise up against the hand of his neighbour. 14 And Judah also shall fight at Jerusalem; and the wealth of all of the heathen all round shall be gathered together, gold, and silver, and apparel, in great abundance. 15 And so shall be the plague of the horse, of the mule, of the camel, and of the ass, and of all of the beasts that shall be in these tents, as this plague. 16 And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, hwhy of Armies (Hosts), and to keep ta-the Feast of Sukkoth. 17 And it shall be, that whoso will not come up of ta all of the families of the earth unto Jerusalem to worship the King, hwhy of Armies (Hosts), even upon them shall be no rain. 18 And if the family of Egypt go not up, and come not, that have no rain; there shall be the plague, wherewith hwhy will smite ta-the heathen that come not up to keep ta-the Feast of Sukkoth. 19 This shall be the punishment of Egypt, and the punishment of all nations that come not up to keep ta-the Feast of Sukkoth. 20 In that day shall there be upon the bells of the horses, HOLINESS UNTO hwhy; and the Pots in hwhy's House shall be like the Bowls before the Altar. 21 Yea, every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah shall be Holiness unto hwhy of Armies (Hosts): and all they that sacrifice shall come and take of them, and seethe therein: and in that day there shall be no more the Canaanite in the House of hwhy of Armies (Hosts).
hwhy made the Feast of Sukkoth of importance for the nations of the world to particapate in this feast.
This is a precursor account of the Fall High Holy Days, which is noted in the book of Genesis
Genesis 24:1-67
Gen 24:1 And Abraham was old, going in the days: and hwhy had blessed ta-Abraham in allness. 2 And Abraham said to his servant, the elder of his house, the ruler over all that he had, Put now your hand under my testicles: 3 And I will make you swear in hwhy, the Elohim of the Heavens and the Elohim of the Earth that you will not take a wife to my son from the daughters of the Canaanites whom I dwell in his midst: 4 But you will go to my land, and to my kindred, and you will take a wife for my son, for Isaac. 5 And the servant said to him, Perhaps the woman, she is not willing to go out after me to this land: that returning, I shall return ta-your son to the land which you came out from there? 6 And Abraham said to him, Take heed for yourself lest you return ta-my son there. 7 hwhy, Elohim of the Heavens, who took me from the house of my father, and from the land of my birth, and who spoke to me, and who swore to me, to say, I will give ta-this land to your seed; He shall send His Messenger to your face, and you shall take a wife for my son from there. 8 And the woman, if she shall not be willing to go after you, and you shall be innocent of my oath from this: only do you not return ta-my son there. 9 And the servant put ta-his hand under the testacles of Abraham, his lord (master), and swore to him upon this word.
10 And the servant took ten camels from the camels of his lord (master), and left; and all the goods of his master were in his hand: and arose, and went to Aram Naharaim, to the city of Nahor. 11 And the camels knelt down outside of the city by a bored-well of the water, by the time of the mixing period (evening), by the time of the going out of the drawing. 12 And said, hwhy, Elohim of my lord (master), Abraham, cause to meet now towards the facing of today (the day), and do kindness with my lord (master), Abraham. 13 Behold, I am standing upon the eye-well of the water; and the daughters of the men of the city are coming out to draw water: 14 And shall be, the young woman whom I shall say to her, Let down now your pitcher, and I may drink her; and say of her, Drink, and also I will water your camels: her, you have designed for your servant, Isaac; and in her shall I know that you have done kindness unto my lord (master).
15 And before he finished to speak, and behold, Rebekah came out, who was birthed to Bethuel, son of Milcah, wife of Nahor, brother of Abraham, and her pitcher was upon her shoulder. 16 And the young woman was much good of form, a virgin, and a man had not known her: and she went down to the eye-well, and she filled her pitcher, and she ascended. 17 And the servant ran to meet her, and said, I shall drink now a little water from your pitcher. 18 And she said, Drink, my lord (master): and she hurried, and she let down her pitcher upon her hand, and she gave him drink. 19 And she finished to give him drink, and she said, I will draw for your camels also until if they have finished drinking. 20 And she hurried, and she emptied her pitcher to the trough, and she ran again to the bored-well to draw, and she drew for all of his camels. 21 And the man was wondering to her with silence to know that hwhy had prospered his journey, if not.
22 And was, as which the camels finished to drink, and the man took a golden nose ring (earring) of a cut shekel of his weight (scale), and two bracelets upon her hands, ten of gold of their weight (scale); 23 And said, Who of the daughter are you? Tell to me now: has the house of your father a place for us to lodge? 24 And she said to him, I am the daughter of Bethuel, son of Milcah, whom was birthed to Nahor. 25 And she said to him, Also straw also fodder are much with us, also a place to lodge. 26 And the man bowed, and worshipped to hwhy. 27 And said, Blessed be hwhy, Elohim of my lord (master), Abraham, who has not forsaken his kindness and his truth from with my lord (master): I being in the way, hwhy led me to the house of the brother of my lord (master). 28 And the young woman, she ran, and she told to the house of her mother as these words.
29 And to Rebekah was a brother, and his name was Laban: and Laban ran to the man to the outside to the eye-well. 30 And was, as seeing ta-the nose ring (earring) and ta-the bracelets upon the hands of his sister, and as he heard ta-the words of Rebekah, his sister, to say, Thus spoke the man to me; And came to the man; and behold, was standing by the camels by the eye-well. 31 And said, Come, blessed of hwhy!; To why are you standing on the outside? And I, I have prepared the house and a place for the camels!
32 And the man came to the house: and unloaded the camels, and gave straw and fodder for the camels, and water to wash his feet and the feet of the men who were with him. 33 And was set to his face to eat: and said, I will not eat until that I have spoken my words. And said, Speak. 34 And said, I am the servant of Abraham. 35 And hwhy has blessed ta-my lord (master) much; and became great: and was given to him flocks, and herds, and silver, and gold, and male servants, and female servants, and camels, and the donkeys. 36 And Sarah, the wife of my lord (master), she birthed a son to my lord (master) after her old age: and was given to him ta-all that belongs to him. 37 And my lord (master) made me swear, to say, You shall not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites whom I dwell in his land: 38 If (But) that you shall go to the house of my father, and to my family, and you shall take a wife for my son. 39 And I said to my lord (master), Perhaps the woman, she will not go after me. 40 And said to me, hwhy, whom I walk towards His Face, will send his Messenger with you and shall prosper your way; And you shall take a wife for my son from my family and from the house of my father: 41 Then when you come to my family, you shall be innocent from my curse; and if they shall not give to you, and you shall be cleared from my oath.
42 And I came today (the day) to the eye-well, and said, hwhy, Elohim of my lord (master), Abraham, if you exist now, prosper my way which I shall go upon her: 43 Behold, I was standing by the eye-well of the water; and was, the virgin that was coming forth to draw water, and I said to her, That I shall drink now a little water from your pitcher; 44 And said of her to me, Also you shall drink, and I will draw also for your camels: she is the woman whom hwhy has chosen for the son of my lord (master).
45 I, before I had finished to speak to my heart, and behold, Rebekah was coming out, and her pitcher was upon her shoulder; and she went down to the eye-well, and she drew: and said to her, I will drink, now. 46 And she hurried, and she let down her pitcher from upon her, and she said, Drink, and also your camels I will make drink: and I drank, and also the camels that made drink of her.
47 And I asked her, and said, Who of the daughter are you? And she said, The daughter of Bethuel, son of Nahor, whom Milcah birthed to him: and I put the nose ring (earring) upon her nose, and the bracelets upon her hands. 48 And I bowed, and I worshipped to hwhy, and I blessed ta-hwhy, Elohim of my master, Abraham, who led me in the true way, to take ta-the daughter of my brother of my lord (master) for his son. 49 And now, if you will do kindness and truth with ta-my lord (master), tell to me: and if not, tell to me; and I may face upon the right, or upon the left.
50 And Laban and Bethuel answered, and they said, From hwhy has come out the word: we are not able to speak to you evil or good. 51 Behold, Rebekah is to your face, take her, and go, and she shall be the wife of the son of your lord (master) as which hwhy has spoken. 52 And was, that as which the servant of Abraham has heard ta-their words, and bowed to hwhy to the Earth. 53 And the servant brought out vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and clothing, and gave to Rebekah: and jewels were given to her brother and to her mother. 54 And they ate and they drank, he and the men who were with him, and they lodged;
And they arose in the breaking period (morning), and said, Send me away to my lord (master). 55 And her brother and her mother said, The young woman, she will dwell with us days, or ten; Afterwards, she may go. 56 And said to them, Do you not delay me, and hwhy has prospered my way; send me away, and I will go to my lord (master). 57 And they said, We will call to the young woman, and we will inquire her ta-her mouth. 58 And they called Rebekah, and said to her, Will you go with this man? And she said, I will go. 59 And they sent away ta-Rebekah, their sister, and ta-her nurse, and ta-the servant of Abraham, and ta-his men. 60 And they blessed ta-Rebekah, and they said to her, Our sister, you will be of thousands of myriads, and your seed shall possess (inherit) ta the gate of their haters. 61 And Rebekah, she arose, and her young women, and they rode upon the camels, and they went after the man: And the servant took ta-Rebekah, and left.
62 And Isaac came, from coming to Beer Lahai Roi; and he was dwelling in the land of the Negev. 63 And Isaac went out to meditate in the field toward the facing of mixing period (evening): and lifted his eyes, and looked, and behold, camels were coming. 64 And Rebekah, she lifted ta-her eyes, and she saw ta-Isaac, and she got off from upon the camel. 65 And she said to the servant, Who is this man the one walking in the field to meet us? And the servant said, He is my lord (master): And she took the veil, and she was covered. 66 And the servant made account to Isaac ta all of the words that were done. 67 And Isaac brought her to the tent of Sarah, his mother, and took ta-Rebekah, and she became to him for a wife; and loved her: And Isaac was comforted after his mother.
The emphasis for this High Holy Day is from verses forty nine to sixty seven is that these events were a precursor account of Sukkoth. Abraham's servant, commonly accepted to be Eliezer, symbolized as the Ruakh HaKodesh (the Holy Spirit) brought Rebekah, the bride, a type and shadow as the Bride of Messiah, to Isaac, a type and shadow of Yeshua. Laban and his mother tries to delay Eliezer's return with Rebekah, through "obstacles". As I mentioned in the Torah portion this chapter resides, Eliezer and Rebekah arrived to Isaac's place at sundown, which is my realization to be the first day of the Fall Feast of Sukkoth, which would be "Isaac's birthday", and hwhy was saying to Isaac, "Happy Birthday, Isaac. This is my birthday present to you...... Rebekah!". If Eliezer, Abraham's servant, and Rebekah did not leave at the time allotted and sumbitted to Laban and his mother, types and shadows of HaSatan and the demons, they would have not made it in time for Isaac's birthday, a symbol of the High Holy of Sukkoth. It is my humble opinion that Eliezer knew that he had to be back with Rebekah by Isaac's birthday to give him Rebekah. This is going to connect in the next scripture.
SUKKOTH IN THE BRITH KHADASHAH
This is a portion of a parable Yeshua spoke, which is noted in the Gospel of Matthew
Matthew 25:10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut. 11 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. 12 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not. 13 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of Man cometh.
Yeshua was revealing that this scene occurs during the Feast of Sukkoth which in the future, the Bridegroom, Yeshua, Himself, will meet His Bride, who are those who believe in Yeshua, the Messiah, and have a relationship with Him, during this Feast.
Yeshua was born on the first day of Sukkoth. This is His birth account, which is noted in the Gospel of Luke
Luke 2:1-38
Luk 2:1 And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all of the world should be taxed. 2 (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was Governor of Syria.) 3 And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city. 4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the City of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:) 5 To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with Child. 6 And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered. 7 And she brought forth her Firstborn Son, and wrapped Him in swaddling clothes, and laid Him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn. 8 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. 9 And, lo, the messenger of hwhy came upon them, and the Glory of hwhy shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. 10 And the messenger said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. 11 For unto you is born this day in the City of David a Saviour, which is hwhy Messiah. 12 And this shall be a Sign unto you; Ye shall find the Babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. 13 And suddenly there was with the messenger a multitude of the heavenly host praising hwhy, and saying, 14 Glory to hwhy in the Highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. 15 And it came to pass, as the messengers were gone away from them into the Heavens, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this Rhema which is come to pass, which hwhy hath made known unto us. 16 And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the Babe lying in a manger. 17 And when they had seen It, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this Child. 18 And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds. 19 But Mary kept all of these things, and pondered them in her heart. 20 And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising hwhy for all of the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them. 21 And when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising of the Child, His Name was called YESHUA, which was so named of the messenger before He was conceived in the womb. 22 And when the days of her purification according to the Torah of Moses were accomplished, they brought him to Jerusalem, to present Him to hwhy; 23 (As it is written in the Torah of hwhy, Every male that openeth the womb shall be called Holy to hwhy;) 24 And to offer a Sacrifice according to that which is said in the Torah of hwhy, A pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons. 25 And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and the same man was just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Spirit was upon him. 26 And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Spirit, that he should not see death, before he had seen the hwhy's Messiah. 27 And he came by the Spirit into the Temple: and when the parents brought in the Child, Yeshua, to do for Him after the Custom of the Torah, 28 Then took He him up in his arms, and blessed hwhy, and said, 29 hwhy, now lettest Thou Thy servant depart in peace, according to Thy Word: 30 For mine eyes have seen Thy Salvation, 31 Which Thou hast prepared before the face of all people; 32 A Light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of Thy People Israel. 33 And Joseph and His mother marvelled at those things which were spoken of him. 34 And Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary, His mother, Behold, this Child is set for the fall and rising again of many in Israel; and for a Sign which shall be spoken against; 35 (Yea, a sword shall pierce through thy own soul also,) that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed. 36 And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher: she was of a great age, and had lived with an husband seven years from her virginity; 37 And she was a widow of about fourscore and four years, which departed not from the Temple, but served with fastings and prayers night and day. 38 And she coming in that instant gave thanks likewise unto hwhy, and spake of Him to all of them that looked for redemption in Jerusalem.
I have the link to my teaching of how Yeshua was born in Sukkoth under the teachings segment below.
This is the record of Yeshua during the feast of Sukkoth in the Brith Khadashah (the New Covenant), which occured during Yeshua's Birthday, which is noted in the Gospel of John
(NOTE: The days of this Fall High Holy Day are well established based on the information below. The dates I have made known are colored in green. I have included the time line of Scott Aaron of Zealous for Zion in blue, because his time line also has a possiblilty)
John 7:3-10:21
THE DAY BEFORE SUKKOTH- DAY TIME
(Tuesday Day- 3rd day of the week)
(Friday Day- 6th day of the week)
John 7:2 Now the Jews' Feast of Tabernacles was at hand. 3 His brethren therefore said unto Him, Depart hence, and go into Judaea, that Thy disciples also may see the works that Thou doest. 4 For there is no man that doeth any thing in secret, and he himself seeketh to be known openly. If Thou do these things, shew Thyself to the world. 5 For neither did His brethren believe in Him. 6 Then Yeshua said unto them, My Time is not yet come: but your time is alway ready. 7 The world cannot hate you; but Me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil. 8 Go ye up unto this Feast: I go not up yet unto this Feast; for My Time is not yet full come. 9 When He had said these Words unto them, He abode still in Galilee. 10 But when His brethren were gone up, then went He also up unto the Feast, not openly, but as it were in secret.
FIRST DAY OF SUKKOTH, HIGH SABBATH- NIGHT TIME
(Tuesday Night- 4th day of the week)
(Friday Night, Shabbath- 7th day of the week)
11 Then the Jews sought Him at the Feast, and said, Where is He? 12 And there was much murmuring among the People concerning Him: for some said, He is a good Man: others said, Nay; but He deceiveth the People. 13 Howbeit no man spake openly of Him for fear of the Jews.
If one notices the verse in which they did not speak openly for fear of the "Jews". In other words, the apostle John in his Gospel passage was revealing to us that these Jewish authorities were not speaking to Jews. The apostle John was revealing to us that the Jewish authorities were not talking to Jews, but to "non-Jews", who were at that time "Galileans", because Yeshua was from "Galilee". These verses reveal to us that Galileans were also participating in the Feast of Sukkoth.

FOURTH DAY OF SUKKOTH
(Possibly Saturday Day- Shabbath)
(Possibly Tuesday Day- 4th day of the week)
14 Now about the midst of the Feast Yeshua went up into the Temple, and taught. 15 And the Jews marvelled, saying, How knoweth this Man letters, having never learned? 16 Yeshua answered them, and said, My Doctrine is not Mine, but His that sent Me. 17 If any man will do His Will, he shall know of the Doctrine, whether it be of hwhy, or whether I speak of Myself. 18 He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh His Glory that sent Him, the Same is True, and no unrighteousness is in Him. 19 Did not Moses give you the Torah, and yet none of you keepeth the Torah? Why go ye about to kill Me? 20 The People answered and said, Thou hast a devil: who goeth about to kill Thee? 21 Yeshua answered and said unto them, I have done one Work, and ye all marvel. 22 Moses therefore gave unto you circumcision; (not because it is of Moses, but of the fathers;) and ye on the Shabbath day circumcise a man. 23 If a man on the Shabbath day receive circumcision, that the Torah of Moses should not be broken; are ye angry at Me, because I have made a man every whit whole on the Shabbath Day? 24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge Righteous Judgment. 25 Then said some of them of Jerusalem, Is not this He, whom they seek to kill? 26 But, lo, He speaketh boldly, and they say nothing unto Him. Do the rulers know indeed that this is the very Messiah? 27 Howbeit we know this Man whence He is: but when Messiah cometh, no man knoweth whence He is. 28 Then cried Yeshua in the Temple as He taught, saying, Ye both know Me, and ye know whence I am: and I am not come of Myself, but He that sent Me is True, whom ye know not. 29 But I know Him: for I am from Him, and He hath sent Me. 30 Then they sought to take Him: but no man laid hands on Him, because His Hour was not yet come. 31 And many of the People believed on Him, and said, When Messiah cometh, will He do more miracles than these which this Man hath done? 32 The Pharisees heard that the People murmured such things concerning Him; and the Pharisees and the Chief Priests sent officers to take Him. 33 Then said Yeshua unto them, Yet a little while am I with you, and then I go unto Him that sent Me. 34 Ye shall seek Me, and shall not find Me: and where I am, thither ye cannot come. 35 Then said the Jews among themselves, Whither will He go, that we shall not find Him? Will He go unto the dispersed among the Gentiles, and teach the Gentiles? 36 What manner of saying is this that He said, Ye shall seek Me, and shall not find Me: and where I am, thither ye cannot come?
Notice that this is in the middle of Sukkoth, which the exact middle is the fourth day of Sukkoth. Yeshua made a deal on the Shabbath day, which possibly shows that He did something during this Feast day, which was the Shabbath, and could have also been circumcised as a baby on the eighth day of His Life during the Shabbath.
SEVENTH DAY OF SUKKOTH [OR EIGHTH DAY OF SOLEMN ASSEMBLY]
(Monday Night- 3rd day of the week)
(Thursday Night- 6th day of the week)
37 In the last day, that great day of the Feast, Yeshua stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto Me, and drink. 38 He that believeth on Me, as the Scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of Living Water. 39 (But this spake He of the Spirit, which they that believe on Him should receive: for the Holy Spirit was not yet given; because that Yeshua was not yet glorified.) 40 Many of the People therefore, when they heard this saying, said, Of a truth this is the Prophet. 41 Others said, This is the Messiah. But some said, Shall Messiah come out of Galilee? 42 Hath not the Scripture said, That Messiah cometh of the seed of David, and out of the town of Bethlehem, where David was? 43 So there was a division among the People because of him. 44 And some of them would have taken Him; but no man laid hands on Him. 45 Then came the officers to the Chief Priests and Pharisees; and they said unto them, Why have ye not brought Him? 46 The officers answered, Never man spake like this man. 47 Then answered them the Pharisees, Are ye also deceived? 48 Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed on Him? 49 But this People who knoweth not the Torah are cursed. 50 Nicodemus saith unto them, (he that came to Yeshua by night, being one of them,) 51 Doth our Torah judge any man, before it hear him, and know what he doeth? 52 They answered and said unto him, Art thou also of Galilee? Search, and look: for out of Galilee ariseth no prophet. 53 And every man went unto his own house.
Joh 8:1 Yeshua went unto the Mount of Olives.
SEVENTH DAY OF SUKKOTH- DAY TIME: MORNING
(Tuesday Morning- 3rd day of the week)
(Friday Morning- 6th day of the week)
Joh 8:2 And early in the morning He came again into the Temple, and all of the People came unto him; and He sat down, and taught them. 3 And the Scribes and Pharisees brought unto Him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst, 4 They say unto Him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act. 5 Now Moses in the Torah commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest Thou? 6 This they said, tempting Him, that they might have to accuse Him. But Yeshua stooped down, and with His Finger wrote on the ground, as though He heard them not. 7 So when they continued asking Him, He lifted up Himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her. 8 And again He stooped down, and wrote on the ground. 9 And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Yeshua was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst. 10 When Yeshua had lifted up Himself, and saw none but the woman, He said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? Hath no man condemned thee? 11 She said, No man, Lord. And Yeshua said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.
SEVENTH DAY OF SUKKOTH- DAY TIME: AFTERNOON
(Tuesday Afternoon Before Sunset- 3rd day of the week)
(Friday Afternoon Before Sunset- 6th day of the week)
12 Then spake Yeshua again unto them, saying, I am the Light of the world: he that followeth Me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the Light of Life. 13 The Pharisees therefore said unto Him, Thou bearest Record of Thyself; Thy Record is not true. 14 Yeshua answered and said unto them, Though I bear Record of Myself, yet My Record is true: for I know whence I came, and whither I go; but ye cannot tell whence I come, and whither I go. 15 Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man. 16 And yet if I judge, My Judgment is True: for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent Me. 17 It is also written in your Torah, that the testimony of two men is true. 18 I am One that bear Witness of Myself, and the Father that sent Me beareth Witness of Me. 19 Then said they unto Him, Where is Thy Father? Yeshua answered, Ye neither know Me, nor My Father: if ye had known Me, ye should have known My Father also. 20 These words spake Yeshua in the Treasury, as He taught in the Temple: and no man laid hands on Him; for His Hour was not yet come. 21 Then said Yeshua again unto them, I go My Way, and ye shall seek Me, and shall die in your sins: whither I go, ye cannot come. 22 Then said the Jews, Will He kill Himself? because He saith, Whither I go, ye cannot come. 23 And He said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world. 24 I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I Am, ye shall die in your sins. 25 Then said they unto Him, Who art Thou? And Yeshua saith unto them, Even the Same that I said unto you from the beginning. 26 I have many things to say and to judge of you: but He that sent Me is True; and I speak to the world those things which I have heard of Him. 27 They understood not that He spake to them of the Father. 28 Then said Yeshua unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of Man, then shall ye know that I Am, and that I do nothing of Myself; but as My Father hath taught Me, I speak these things. 29 And He that sent Me is with Me: the Father hath not left Me alone; for I do always those things that please Him. 30 As He spake these Words, many believed on Him. 31 Then said Yeshua to those Jews which believed on Him, If ye continue in My Word, then are ye My disciples indeed; 32 And ye shall know the Truth, and the Truth shall make you free. 33 They answered Him, We be Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest Thou, Ye shall be made free? 34 Yeshua answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin. 35 And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever. 36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed. 37 I know that ye are Abraham's seed; but ye seek to kill Me, because My Word hath no place in you. 38 I speak that which I have seen with My Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father. 39 They answered and said unto Him, Abraham is our father. Yeshua saith unto them, If ye were Abraham's Children, ye would do the works of Abraham. 40 But now ye seek to kill Me, a Man that hath told you the Truth, which I have heard of hwhy: this did not Abraham. 41 Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even hwhy. 42 Yeshua said unto them, If hwhy were your Father, ye would love Me: for I proceeded forth and came from hwhy; neither came I of Myself, but He sent Me. 43 Why do ye not understand My Speech? Even because ye cannot hear My Word. 44 Ye are of your father, the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the Truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. 45 And because I tell you the Truth, ye believe Me not. 46 Which of you convinceth Me of sin? And if I say the Truth, why do ye not believe Me? 47 He that is of hwhy heareth hwhy's Words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of hwhy. 48 Then answered the Jews, and said unto Him, Say we not well that Thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil? 49 Yeshua answered, I have not a devil; but I honour My Father, and ye do dishonour Me. 50 And I seek not Mine own Glory: there is One that seeketh and judgeth. 51 Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep My Word, he shall never see death. 52 Then said the Jews unto Him, Now we know that Thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and Thou sayest, If a man keep My Word, he shall never taste of death. 53 Art Thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? And the prophets are dead: whom makest Thou Thyself? 54 Yeshua answered, If I honour Myself, My Honour is nothing: it is My Father that honoureth Me; of whom ye say, that He is your Elohim: 55 Yet ye have not known Him; but I know Him: and if I should say, I know Him not, I shall be a liar like unto you: but I know Him, and keep His Word. 56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My Day: and he saw it, and was glad. 57 Then said the Jews unto Him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast Thou seen Abraham? 58 Yeshua said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I AM. 59 Then took they up stones to cast at Him: but Yeshua hid Himself, and went out of the Temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.
SEVENTH DAY OF SUKKOTH- JUST BEFORE SUNSET
(Tuesday Nearing Sunset- 3rd day of the week)
(Friday Nearing Sunset- 6th day of the week)
John 9:1 And as Yeshua passed by, He saw a man which was blind from his birth. 2 And His disciples asked Him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind? 3 Yeshua answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the Works of hwhy should be made manifest in him. 4 I must work the Works of Him that sent Me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work. 5 As long as I am in the world, I am the Light of the world. 6 When He had thus spoken, He spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and He anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay, 7 And said unto him, Go, wash in the Pool of Siloam, (which is by interpretation, Sent.) He went his way therefore, and washed, and came seeing. 8 The neighbours therefore, and they which before had seen him that he was blind, said, Is not this he that sat and begged? 9 Some said, This is he: others said, He is like him: but he said, I am he. 10 Therefore said they unto him, How were thine eyes opened? 11 He answered and said, A Man that is called Yeshua made clay, and anointed mine eyes, and said unto me, Go to the Pool of Siloam, and wash: and I went and washed, and I received sight. 12 Then said they unto him, Where is He? He said, I know not.
When Yeshua said in verse four of John's passage that night is coming when no man can work, if it occured on the seventh day of Sukkoth, He was not referring to a regular Shabbath but the High Shabbath (Shabbath Shabbathon) of the Solemn Assembly that occurs on the eighth day, where one cannot do servile work.
EIGHTH DAY OF A SOLEMN HOLY CALLING, HIGH SABBATH- NIGHT TIME
(Tuesday Night- 4th day of the week)
(Friday Night, Shabbath- 7th day of the week)
13 They brought to the Pharisees him that aforetime was blind. 14 And it was the Shabbath day when Yeshua made the clay, and opened his eyes. 15 Then again the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight. He said unto them, He put clay upon mine eyes, and I washed, and do see. 16 Therefore said some of the Pharisees, This Man is not of hwhy, because He keepeth not the Shabbath Day. Others said, How can a Man that is a sinner do such miracles? And there was a division among them. 17 They say unto the blind man again, What sayest thou of Him, that He hath opened thine eyes? He said, He is a Prophet. 18 But the Jews did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind, and received his sight, until they called the parents of him that had received his sight. 19 And they asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say was born blind? How then doth he now see? 20 His parents answered them and said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind: 21 But by what means he now seeth, we know not; or Who hath opened his eyes, we know not: he is of age; ask him: he shall speak for himself. 22 These words spake his parents, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had agreed already, that if any man did confess that He was Messiah, he should be put out of the synagogue. 23 Therefore said his parents, He is of age; ask him. 24 Then again called they the man that was blind, and said unto him, Give hwhy the praise: we know that this Man is a sinner. 25 He answered and said, Whether He be a sinner or no, I know not: one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see. 26 Then said they to him again, What did He to thee? How opened He thine eyes? 27 He answered them, I have told you already, and ye did not hear: wherefore would ye hear it again? Will ye also be His disciples? 28 Then they reviled him, and said, Thou art His disciple; but we are Moses' disciples. 29 We know that hwhy spake unto Moses: as for this Fellow, we know not from whence He is. 30 The man answered and said unto them, Why herein is a marvellous thing, that ye know not from whence He is, and yet He hath opened mine eyes. 31 Now we know that hwhy heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of hwhy, and doeth His Will, Him He heareth. 32 Since the world began was it not heard that any man opened the eyes of one that was born blind. 33 If this Man were not of hwhy, He could do nothing. 34 They answered and said unto him, Thou wast altogether born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out. 35 Yeshua heard that they had cast him out; and when He had found him, He said unto him, Dost thou believe on the Son of Elohim? 36 He answered and said, Who is He, Lord, that I might believe on Him? 37 And Yeshua said unto him, Thou hast both seen Him, and it is He that talketh with thee. 38 And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped Him. 39 And Yeshua said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind. 40 And some of the Pharisees which were with Him heard these words, and said unto Him, Are we blind also? 41 Yeshua said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth.
John 10:1 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. 2 But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. 3 To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. 4 And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. 5 And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers. 6 This Parable spake Yeshua unto them: but they understood not what things they were which He spake unto them. 7 Then said Yeshua unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the Door of the Sheep. 8 All that ever came before Me are thieves and robbers: but the Sheep did not hear them. 9 I am the Door: by Me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. 10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have Life, and that they might have it more abundantly. 11 I am the Good Shepherd: the Good Shepherd giveth His Life for the Sheep. 12 But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep. 13 The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep. 14 I am the Good Shepherd, and know My Sheep, and am known of Mine. 15 As the Father knoweth Me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down My Life for the Sheep. 16 And other Sheep I have, which are not of this Fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear My Voice; and there shall be One Fold, and One Shepherd. 17 Therefore doth My Father love Me, because I lay down My Life, that I might take It again. 18 No man taketh It from Me, but I lay It down of Myself. I have power to lay It down, and I have power to take It again. This Commandment have I received of My Father. 19 There was a division therefore again among the Jews for these sayings. 20 And many of them said, He hath a devil, and is mad; why hear ye Him? 21 Others said, These are not the words of him that hath a devil. Can a devil open the eyes of the blind?
Based on this record, we can say, without question, that the eight days of Sukkoth including the one day of the Solemn Holy Calling, started on Tuesday night (or Friday night) and ended on the following Tuesday night (or Friday night). This is the day where the feasting and celebrating are restrained, and we are to be in a Holy Calling to assemble together to hwhy.

MUSIC TO CELEBRATE YESHUA'S BIRTH
I have leaned not to throw the baby out with the bathwater. There are good holiday songs for Sukkoth that are biblically correct. I took some holiday songs and posted on this page to access. These are songs I play on the first day of Sukkoth because Yeshua was born on that day and play them until the end of the seventh day. I don't play them on the eighth day, because it is a solemn assembly. They are free for you to download and play.

Stille Nacht! Heilige Nacht! Alles schläft; einsam wacht Nur das traute heilige Paar. Holder Knab im lockigten Haar, Schlafe in himmlischer Ruh! Schlafe in himmlischer Ruh! |

5.
Silent night! Holy night! Already long ago planned for us, When the Lord frees from wrath Since the beginning of ancient times A salvation promised for the whole world. A salvation promised for the whole world. |

Stille Nacht! Heilige Nacht! Hirten erst kundgemacht Durch der Engel Alleluja, Tönt es laut bei Ferne und Nah: Jesus der Retter ist da! Jesus der Retter ist da! |
6.
Silent night! Holy night! To shepherds it was first made known By the angel, Alleluia; Sounding forth loudly far and near: Jesus the Savior is here! Jesus the Savior is here! |
