Remembering God's Provision

Commentators agree the Feast of Tabernacles was primarily a physical reminder of Israel's 40-year journey in the wilderness. By leaving their homes to live in temporary booths, the people remembered God's continuous provision and faithfulness when they had no permanent dwelling. This act cultivated gratitude for both their past deliverance and their present blessings in the Promised Land.
