BANQUETS - B>@ - among the Hebrews, were not only a means of social enjoyment, but were a part of the observance of religious festivity. At the three solemn festivals the family also had its domestic feast. (16:11) Sacrifices, both ordinary and extraordinary, kjv@Exodus:34:15; kjv@Judges:16:23) includes a banquet. Birthday banquets are only mentioned kjv@Genesis:40:20; kjv@Matthew:14:6) The usual time of the banquet was the evening, and to begin early was a mark of excess. kjv@Ecclesiastes:10:16; kjv@Isaiah:5:11) The most essential materials of the banqueting room, next to the viands and wine, which last was often drugged with spices, kjv@Proverbs:9:2) were perfumed unguents, garlands or loose flowers, white or brilliant robes; after these, exhibitions of music singers and dancers, riddles, jesting and merriment. kjv@Judges:14:12; 2 Samuel 19:35; kjv@Nehemiah:8:10; kjv@Ecclesiastes:10:19; kjv@Isaiah:5:12 kjv@Isaiah:25:6 kjv@Isaiah:28:1 ; kjv@Matthew:22:11; kjv@Luke:15:25) The posture at table in early times was sitting, ( kjv@1Samuel:16:11 kjv@1Samuel:20:5 kjv@1Samuel:20:18) and the guests were ranged in order of dignity. kjv@Genesis:43:33; kjv@1Samuel:9:22 Words which imply the recumbent posture belong to the New Testament.

Banquet @ a feast provided for the entertainment of a company of guests kjv@Esther:5; 7; kjv@1Peter:4:3); such as was provided for our Lord by his friends in Bethany kjv@Matthew:26:6; kjv@Mark:14:3; comp. kjv@John:12:2). These meals were in the days of Christ usually called "suppers," after the custom of the Romans, and were partaken of toward the close of the day. It was usual to send a second invitation kjv@Matthew:22:3; kjv@Luke:14:17) to those who had been already invited. When the whole company was assembled, the master of the house shut the door with his own hands kjv@Luke:13:25; kjv@Matthew:25:10). The guests were first refreshed with water and fragrant oil kjv@Luke:7:38; kjv@Mark:7:4). A less frequent custom was that of supplying each guest with a robe to be worn during the feast (Eccles. kjv@9:8; Revelation:3:4-5; kjv@Matthew:22:11). At private banquets the master of the house presided; but on public occasions a "governor of the feast" was chosen kjv@John:2:8). The guests were placed in order according to seniority kjv@Genesis:43:33), or according to the rank they held kjv@Proverbs:25:6-7; kjv@Matthew:23:6; kjv@Luke:14:7). As spoons and knives and forks are a modern invention, and were altogether unknown in the East, the hands alone were necessarily used, and were dipped in the dish, which was common to two of the guests kjv@John:13:26). In the days of our Lord the guests reclined at table; but the ancient Israelites sat around low tables, cross-legged, like the modern Orientals. Guests were specially honoured when extra portions were set before them kjv@Genesis:43:34), and when their cup was filled with wine till it ran over kjv@Psalms:23:5). The hands of the guests were usually cleaned by being rubbed on bread, the crumbs of which fell to the ground, and were the portion for dogs kjv@Matthew:15:27; kjv@Luke:16:21). At the time of the three annual festivals at Jerusalem family banquets were common. To these the "widow, and the fatherless, and the stranger" were welcome kjv@Deuteronomy:16:11). Sacrifices also included a banquet kjv@Exodus:34:15; kjv@Judges:16:23). Birthday banquets are mentioned kjv@Genesis:40:20; kjv@Matthew:14:6). They were sometimes protracted, and attended with revelry and excess kjv@Genesis:21:8 kjv@Genesis:29:22; kjv@1Samuel:25:2-36; kjv@2Samuel:13:23). Portions were sometimes sent from the table to poorer friends kjv@Nehemiah:8:10; kjv@Esther:9:19 kjv@Esther:9:22). (
