Now that we understand intent and from this intent, purpose, only now can we truly aspire to the commanded mandates of Cukkowth (Tabernacles). It is important to again recognize that the first mention in Scripture of the mandate that three specific feasts are to be kept (consciously of course) once a year is at Exodus 23:14-17 and then later in Exodus 34:23, Leviticus 23 and Deuteronomy 16. It would be amiss for one to believe they could attain to the Hebraic intent of the feasts if they were still to reside in Egypt (“limit, border”; the fully enveloped material conscience; #4717). The “exodus” (“go/bring out”; consciously leave behind; #3318) was and today still is commanded before the truth of the feasts can be realized. And so what are the mandated patterns a soul is commanded to keep? We start at Exodus 23:

“And keep (consciously adhere to)…the Feast (mind festival or mind torment depending upon obedience) of Ingathering (“gathered, receive”; mental accumulation; #614) at the end of the year ,when you gather your crops (“action, transaction”; active thoughts; #4639) out of the field (“spread”; the thought plain; #7704).” (vs.17)

Ingathering? Tabernacles? One in the same of course and when fully understood the connection is obvious. We have looked at Cukkowth (Tabernacles) thoroughly and does it not ring true that it is a literal gathering in a specific commanded time to consciously feast upon those things Yahweh has deemed pertinent to a soul’s literal regeneration? Remember as well that while this is happening to obedient minds, “victim” was also given as a definition of Cukkowth, and it is the disobedient mind that is given over to reprobation for that disobedience; it is Yahweh alone that condemns or saves souls. At Exodus 34:22 we are again told to keep the Feast of Ingathering (Tabernacles) and it is good to realize that once again, the Feast is designated “at the end of the year”. It is in this seventh (completion) month of the Hebrew year, the month of Ethanim (“permanent”; mental foundations; #388) that the Feast of Tabernacles takes place.

Clearly it is not the “head of the year”, (Rosh Hashana) as taught by modern day Judah (misallocated praise).
