Otherwise labourers from without were not usually employed, except in peculiarly unhealthy districts, where it was found advantageous to limit the amount of slaves and to employ hired persons in their room, and for the ingathering of the harvest, for which the regular supply of labour on the farm did not suffice.
Observe, as significant of the different point of view taken in it, that the first and eighth days are there described, not as 'holy convocations, but as 'sabbaths, or, as the Revised Version gives it better, 'a solemn rest. Observe, also, that these verses connect the feast with the ingathering of the harvest, as does Exodus xxiii. 16.

A cursory glance through the seventy-four newspapers and periodicals published by the Army generally weekly in twenty-one languages, would show any one how variously our people everywhere are seeking to meet the different habits of life in each country, and how constantly new plans are being tried to attain the supreme object of all our multitudinous agencies the arousing of men's attention to the claims of God and their ingathering to His Kingdom.
The worn and treasured blue necktie, for one thing; a little pocket hand-glass, a pin-cushion devoted to the tender ingathering of strayed and crooked pins, some sprays of mint and lavender among the rest.

He left behind him the promise that a Deliverer should come the Lord our Righteousness and that the former redemption out of bondage in Egypt should be as nothing in comparison with the ingathering of the New Covenant from the north country and from all countries; also that the New Covenant should be within, written upon the hearts and minds of the faithful.
