And all the congregation. — Three classes of persons took part in the festival — (1) the Judseans, including the priests and Levites; (2) their Israelite guests; (3) the “strangers” — gêrîm — i.e., the proselytes, both those who came from the northern kingdom arid those who dwelt in Judah. The word gêrîm is not the same as gârîm (2 Chronicles 15:9), with which Lange’s comment confuses it. (Comp. Leviticus 17:12.)
