Exegesis
A second nominative phrase with article, hē skēnopēgia {ἡ σκηνοπηγία | hē skē-no-pē-Gí-a}, stands in apposition to hē heortē, specifying which feast is meant. The double article (hē … hē) is a formal way of identifying “the feast” as “the Feast of Booths,” a major pilgrimage festival. Greek places the verb first for narrative flow, but the English renderings reorder the elements into a more natural subject–verb–complement pattern (“the feast … was near”) while preserving the appositional identification of the festival.
Root and etymology
skēnēsigma–kappa–eta–nu–eta
“tent, tabernacle”
In context — John 7:2
Now the feast of the Jews —the Festival of Booths—was near.
