And on the folemn Feafts, three times in the Year, even in the Feast of unleavened Bread, and in the Feast of Weeks, and in the Feast of Tabernacles. The Remaining or only Question is whether the Feast of the End of the Weeks, at the End of Harvest in June, and the Feaft of Ingathering were one and the fame: Or the Feast of Ingathering and the Feast of Tabernacles, fupposed to be in September, were one and the fame. "Tis true the feven Days in Deut. xvi. 13. may belong to the Time of the Feast of Tabernacles, or to the Time between the Time of Ingathering and the Beginning of the Feast of Tabernacles: And the rather to the Time between, because the Days of the Feast are numbered ver. 16. and the Beth, as it fignifies elsewhere, must be after in either Cafe.

They make in October after Seed Time, but very uncertainly, there was Rain in the ninth Month: Efra x. 9. It seems to include the chief Fruits, Corn and Wine.
