Assembled Feast Month Nd Seventh Themselves Wherefore
5:3 Wherefore all the men of Israel assembled themselves unto the king in the {b} feast which [was] in the seventh {c} month.
(b) When the things were dedicated and brought into the temple.
(c) Called in Hebrew Ethanim, containing part of September and part of October, 1Ki 8:2, which moves the Jews called the first month, because they say that the world was created in that month, and after they came from Egypt, they began at March: but because this opinion is uncertain, we always make March the first as the best writers do.
5:1-10 The ark was a type of Christ, and, as such, a token of the presence of God. That gracious promise, Lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world, does, in effect, bring the ark into our religious assemblies, if we by faith and prayer plead that promise; and this we should be most earnest for. When Christ is formed in a soul, the law written in the heart, the ark of the covenant settled there, so that it becomes the temple of the Holy Ghost, there is true satisfaction in that soul.
