What happensPermalink
Moses details the three primary feasts of the calendar: Passover, the Feast of Weeks (Pentecost), and the Feasts of Booths. All must be celebrated at the temple, no matter where you live.
Why it mattersPermalink
These feasts represent the blessings of God: the escape from Israel, the grain harvest, and the fruit harvest. The giving of these laws promises that Israel will inherit the land.
Key versePermalink
“You shall remember that you were a slave in Egypt; and you shall be careful to observe these statutes.”
