Kejadian 27:28

27:28 May God give you

the dew of the sky ¹

and plenty of grain and new wine.

Ulangan 16:13

The Festival of Temporary Shelters

16:13 You must celebrate the Festival of Temporary Shelters ³  for seven days, at the time of the grain and grape harvest. ⁴ 

Ezra 6:9

6:9 Whatever is needed – whether oxen or rams or lambs or burnt offerings for the God of heaven or wheat or salt or wine or oil, as required by ⁵  the priests who are in Jerusalem – must be given to them daily without any neglect,

Yesaya 16:10

16:10 Joy and happiness disappear from the orchards,

and in the vineyards no one rejoices or shouts;

no one treads out juice in the wine vats ⁶  –

I have brought the joyful shouts to an end. ⁷ 

Yeremia 40:12

40:12 So all these Judeans returned to the land of Judah from the places where they had been scattered. They came to Gedaliah at Mizpah. Thus they harvested a large amount of wine and dates and figs. ⁸ 

[27:28]  ¹ tn Heb “and from the dew of the sky.”

[27:28]  ² tn Heb “and from the fatness.”

[16:13]  ³ tn The Hebrew phrase חַג הַסֻּכֹּת (khag hassukot, “festival of huts” or “festival of shelters”) is traditionally known as the Feast of Tabernacles. The rendering “booths” (cf. NAB, NASB, NRSV) is now preferable to the traditional “tabernacles” (KJV, ASV, NIV) in light of the meaning of the term סֻכָּה (sukkah, “hut; booth”), but “booths” are frequently associated with trade shows and craft fairs in contemporary American English. Clearer is the English term “shelters” (so NCV, TEV, CEV, NLT), but this does not reflect the temporary nature of the living arrangement. This feast was a commemoration of the wanderings of the Israelites after they left Egypt, suggesting that a translation like “temporary shelters” is more appropriate.

[16:13]  ⁴ tn Heb “when you gather in your threshing-floor and winepress.”

[6:9]  ⁵ tn Aram “according to the word of.”

[16:10]  ⁶ tn Heb “wine in the vats the treader does not tread.”

[16:10]  ⁷ sn The Lord appears to be the speaker here. See 15:9.

[40:12]  ⁸ tn Heb “summer fruit.” “Summer fruit” is meaningless to most modern readers; dates and figs are what is involved.
