in the seventh month
2 Chronicles 5:3
5:3 in the seventh month. Presumably this was the Feast of Tabernacles (Leviticus 23:33-43). This annual feast commemorated the wilderness wanderings, during which neither the people nor the tabernacle had a permanent home. Finally, both Israel and the temple were supposedly to be permanently settled in the promised land.
