Entertainments, “feasts,” were sometimes connected with a public festival (Deut. 16:11<\/span>, 14<\/span>), and accompanied by offerings (1 Sam. 9:13<\/span>), in token of alliances (Gen. 26:30<\/span>); sometimes in connection with domestic or social events, as at the weaning of children (Gen. 21:8<\/span>), at weddings (Gen. 29:22<\/span>; John 2:1<\/span>), on birth-days (Matt. 14:6<\/span>), at the time of sheep-shearing (2 Sam. 13:23<\/span>), and of vintage (Judg. 9:27<\/span>), and at funerals (2 Sam. 3:35<\/span>; Jer. 16:7<\/span>).<\/p>\n The guests were invited by servants (Prov. 9:3<\/span>; Matt. 22:3<\/span>), who assigned them their respective places (1 Sam. 9:22<\/span>; Luke 14:8<\/span>; Mark 12:39<\/span>). Like portions were sent by the master to each guest (1 Sam. 1:4<\/span>; 2 Sam. 6:19<\/span>), except when special honour was intended, when the portion was increased (Gen. 43:34<\/span>).<\/p>\n The Israelites were forbidden to attend heathenish sacrificial entertainments (Ex. 34:15<\/span>), because these were in honour of false gods, and because at such feast they would be liable to partake of unclean flesh (1 Cor. 10:28<\/span>).<\/p>\n In the entertainments common in apostolic times among the Gentiles were frequent “revellings,” against which Christians were warned (Rom. 13:13<\/span>; Gal. 5:21<\/span>; 1 Pet. 4:3<\/span>).
