Shemoth [Exodus] 23:14-17, " '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 34:18-23, " 'you will observe the chag matstsoth. for seven days you are to eat matstsoth, as i commanded you, at the appointed time in the month of abib, for in the month of abib you came out of mitsrayim. ¹⁹ the first offspring from every womb belongs to me, and all your male livestock, the first offspring from cattle and sheep. ²⁰ you will redeem with a lamb the first offspring from a donkey; and if you do not redeem it, then you will break its neck. you will redeem all the firstborn of your sons. none will appear before me empty-handed. ²¹ you will work six days, but on the seventh day you will rest; during plowing time and harvest you will rest. ²² and chag shabuoth you will prepare for yourself, the first fruits of the harvest 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] 23:17,20, " ' the next day after the seventh shabbath, you will number fifty days; and you will bring near a new food offering to YHWH; ¹⁷ you will bring in bread out of your dwellings for a wave offering, two loaves; they will be of two tenth ephah of flour; they will be baked with leaven; bikkuriym [firstfruits] to YHWH. ' "

BeMidbar 28:26, " 'and in the day of habikkuriym[firstfruits], in your bringing near a new present to YHWH, in your weeks, a set apart assembly you will have; you will do no servile work.' "
