Deuteronomy 16:16-18

Common English Bible

¹⁶ Three times a year every male among you must appear before the presence of the Lord your God in the location he will select: at the Festival of Unleavened Bread, the Festival of Weeks, and the Festival of Booths. They must not appear before the Lord’s presence empty-handed. ¹⁷ Each one should have his gift in hand, in precise measure with the blessing the Lord your God gives you.

Judges and officials
