Exodus 23:14-17
14Three times a year you are to celebrate a feast to Me.
15You are to keep the Feast of Unleavened Bread1 as I commanded you: At the appointed time in the month of Abib2 you are to eat unleavened bread for seven days, because that was the month you came out of Egypt. No one may appear before Me empty-handed.
16You are also to keep the Feast of Harvest3 with the firstfruits of the produce from what you sow in the field.
And keep the Feast of Ingathering4 at the end of the year, when you gather your produce from the field.
17Three times a year all your males are to appear before the Lord GOD.
