 * the feast of tabernacles.
   This feast was celebrated in commemoration of the Israelites'
   dwelling in tents in the wilderness for forty years; and was
   kept with greater hilarity than any of the other festivals.
   Hence, in the Talmud, it is often called {chag,} the feast, by
   way of excellence; and by Philo, [heorton megisten,] the
   greatest of the feasts; it was therefore more noticed by the
   heathen than any other.  It is probable that Cecrops borrowed
   from it the law which he made in Athens, "that the master of
   every family should after harvest make a feast for his
   servants, and eat together with them who had taken pains with
   him in tilling his grounds."
