Deuteronomy 16:16-17

16Three times a year all your men are to appear before the LORD your God in the place He will choose: at the Feast of Unleavened Bread,1 the Feast of Weeks,2 and the Feast of Tabernacles.3 No one should appear before the LORD empty-handed. 17Everyone must appear with a gift as he is able, according to the blessing the LORD your God has given you.
