A Festival of Thanksgiving
Commentators unanimously highlight that this feast was timed for after the 'fruits of the land'—grain, wine, oil, and all other produce—were fully gathered. This established the festival as a national act of thanksgiving, acknowledging God as the ultimate provider and the source of all bounty. For this reason, it was also known as the 'Feast of Ingathering'.
