At sa ikadalawampu't tatlong araw ng ikapitong buwan ay pinauwi niya ang bayan sa kani-kanilang mga tolda, nagagalak at maligaya ang puso dahil sa kabutihang ginawa ng Walang-Hanggan kay David, kay Solomon, at sa Israel na Kanyang bayan.
Ibn Ezra
in the morning you may return The Dissenters have said that one may return home to one’s land on the holiday. But we must not rely on our own understanding when deriving the Commandments — rather, we must rely on the Exegetes of the Torah. Indeed, although we do find “on the eighth day he dismissed the people” [I Kings 8: 66] — which was clearly a holiday — we see written elsewhere “on the twenty-third day of the seventh month he dismissed the people” [II Chronicles 7: 10]. Some say that the word “to their tents” in the former verse denotes their temporary tents, and that they did not return to their land until the workday.
