15<\/strong>. the place which the Lord shall choose<\/em> ] On the effects of the centralisation of the feasts see introd. to Deu 16:1-17<\/em><\/span>.<\/p>\n and thou shalt be altogether joyful<\/em> ] Heb. only<\/em>, or nothing but, joyful<\/em>. This emphatic repetition of the command is remarkable, but hardly sufficient to answer in the affirmative Steuernagel’s question whether the feast had before D’s time begun to lose its ancient, joyous character.<\/p>\n 16, 17<\/strong> summarise the laws of the three feasts. Deu 16:16<\/em><\/span> repeats (with a characteristic variation and addition of the divine title) the older commandment in J, Exo 34:23<\/span>, repeated (editorially) in E, Deu 23:17<\/span>; three times a year shall all thy males appear before the Lord Jehovah<\/em>. That only males<\/em> are mentioned here, while Deu 16:11<\/em><\/span> ; Deu 16:14<\/em><\/span><\/em> include among the worshippers daughters, bondwomen<\/em> and widows<\/em>, is no proof that this summary is from another hand than the three preceding laws (Steuern.). It is the same author but he is quoting the older law. In contrast with its confinement of the law to males<\/em> D’s inclusion of women is characteristic; see on Deu 16:21<\/span>.<\/p>\n shall appear before the Lord thy God<\/em> ] Heb. shall let himself be seen at the face of<\/em>, a possible but awkward construction. It is probable that the original reading, which may be restored without the change of a consonant and by merely altering the vowel-points, was shall see the face of<\/em>. The motive of the present punctuation would be the desire to avoid the anthropomorphism involved in the phrase ‘seeing the face of God.’<\/p>\n To wit, in God and the effects of his favour, praising him with glad heart. <\/P> <\/p>\n 15. in all the works of thine hands. . . rejoice<\/B>that is, praising God with a warm and elevatedheart. According to Jewish tradition, no marriages were allowed to becelebrated during these great festivals, that no personal or privaterejoicings might be mingled with the demonstrations of public andnational gladness.<\/P><\/p>\n Seven days shalt thou keep a solemn feast unto the Lord thy God<\/strong>,…. The feast of tabernacles still spoken of:<\/p>\n in the place which the Lord thy God shall choose<\/strong>: the city of Jerusalem:<\/p>\n because the Lord thy God shall bless thee in all thy increase, and in all the works of thine hands<\/strong>; both in the increase of their fields, vineyards, and oliveyards, and also in their several handicraft trades and occupations they were employed in; so Aben Ezra interprets all the works of their hands of merchandise and manufactories:<\/p>\n therefore thou shalt surely rejoice<\/strong>; extremely, heartily, and sincerely, and not fail to express joy on this occasion, and manifest it by a generous freewill offering to the Lord, and a bountiful entertainment for himself, his family, friends, and others.<\/p>\n Ver. <\/em><\/strong>15. <\/strong>Therefore thou shalt surely rejoice<\/em><\/strong><\/strong> Cecrops ordained at Athens a similar law to this; commanding that masters of families should make a feast for their servants after harvest, and eat together with them who had jointly laboured in tilling the ground; for that God delighted in the honour done to servants in consideration of their labour. Macrob. Saturnal. lib. 1: cap. 10. It is probable, that Cecrops derived this law from Moses. He lived about the time of the departure of the Israelites from Egypt, and, according to Eusebius, first instructed the Greeks to give to God the name of , that is to say, the living God. <\/em>Prep. Evan. lib. 10: p. 487. Pausanias says more than once, that Cecrops first gave to , or Jupiter, <\/em>the appellation of most high. <\/em>See Arcad. Oper. p. 237 and Horat.
