Chag HaAsif – Feast of the Ingathering

 

Shemoth [Exodus] 23:16, " ' 14 three times  you will hold a feast to me, in the year.  15 chag hamatstsoth you will observe; seven days you will eat matstsoth, as i commanded you, at the appointed time, the month abib, for in it you came out from mitsrayim and none will appear before me empty.  16 and chag haqatsiyr, the firstfruits of your work that you sow in the field; and chag haasif on the going out of the year, at your gathering of  your work from the field.  17 three times in a year, all your males will appear, before the face of the adon YHWH.' "

 

Shemoth 34:22, " ' 22 and chag shabuoth you will prepare for yourself, the first fruits of the harvest [qatsiyr] of wheat, and chag haasyif at the coming around of the year.  23 three times in the year all your males will appear before the face of the adon, YHWH, elohey of yisrael.' "

 

Wayiqqra [Leviticus] 23:39, " '39 and on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you gather the increase of the land, you will celebrate the feast of YHWH seven days; on the first day a shabbath, and on the eighth day a shabbath.  40 and you will take to yourselves, on the first day, the fruit of majestic trees, palms of themariym, and branches of oak trees, and willows of the rver, and you will rejoice before the face of YHWH your elohey seven days.  41 and you will celebrate a feast to YHWH, seven days in a year, an eternal rule for your generations; in the seventh month you will celebrate it.  42 in sukkoth you will live seven days; all who are native in yisrael will live in sukkoth,  43 so that your generations will know that in sukkoth, i caused the sons of yisrael to live, when i brought them from the land of mitsrayim; i am YHWH your elohey.'  44 and mosheh proclaimed the moadey of YHWH to the sons of yisrael."

' "
