Feast as a mark of hospitality (
Gen .
19 :
3 ;
2 Sam .
3 :
20 ;
2 Kings 6 :
23 );
on occasions of domestic joy (
Luke 15 :
23 ;
Gen .
21 :
8 );
on birthdays (
Gen .
40 :
20 ;
Job 1 :
4 ;
Matt .
14 :
6 );
and on the occasion of a marriage (
Judg .
14 :
10 ;
Gen .
29 :
22 ).
Feasting was a part of the observances connected with the offering up of sacrifices (
Deut .
12 :
6 ,
7 ;
1 Sam .
9 :
19 ;
16 :
3 ,
5 ),
and with the annual festivals (
Deut .
16 :
11 ). "
It was one of the designs of the greater solemnities ,
which required the attendance of the people at the sacred tent ,
that the oneness of the nation might be maintained and cemented together ,
by statedly congregating in one place ,
and with one soul taking part in the same religious services .
But that oneness was primarily and chiefly a religious and not merely a political one ;
the people were not merely to meet as among themselves ,
but with Jehovah ,
and to present themselves before him as one body ;
the meeting was in its own nature a binding of themselves in fellowship with Jehovah ;
so that it was not politics and commerce that had here to do ,
but the soul of the Mosaic dispensation ,
the foundation of the religious and political existence of Israel ,
the covenant with Jehovah .
To keep the people '
s consciousness alive to this ,
to revive ,
strengthen ,
and perpetuate it ,
nothing could be so well adapated as these annual feasts ." (

FESTIVALS }.)
