SEV Biblia, Chapter 16:16
Tres veces cada año parecerá todo varón tuyo delante del SEÑOR tu Dios en el lugar que él escogiere: en la fiesta solemne de los panes cenceños, y en la fiesta solemne de las semanas, y en la fiesta solemne de los tabernáculos. Y no parecerá vacío delante del SEÑOR:
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 16:16
Verse 16. Three times in a year] See "Exod. xxiii. 14", where all the Jewish feasts are explained. See also "Lev. xxiii. 34".
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 16. Three times a year shall all thy males appear before the Lord thy God , etc.] This has been observed before, ( Exodus 23:17 34:23), and is repeated here for the sake of mentioning the place where they were to appear, which before now was not observed, and indeed it is chiefly for that the other festivals are here recited: in the place which he shall choose ; which though not expressed is now easily understood; and the three times at which they were to appear there were, in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tabernacles; or passover, Pentecost, and tabernacles; and of numbers of people going up from the country to each of these feasts, we have instances in the New Testament; to the passover, ( Luke 2:42,44 John 11:55), to Pentecost, ( Acts 2:5-11), to tabernacles, ( John 7:2,10), and they shall not appear before the Lord empty ; Aben Ezra observes, the meaning is, not empty of the tribute of the freewill offering of their hand, and which Jarchi more fully explains of the burnt offerings of appearance, and of the peace offerings of the Chagigah, or money answerable to them; which, according to the Misnah was a meah of silver for a burnt offering, and two pieces of silver for the Chagigah, which weighed thirty two barley corns f177 Ver. 17 . Every man shall give as he is able , etc.] The quantity to be given is not fixed in the law, but the wise men appointed it, as observed on ( Deuteronomy 16:16) but it is left by the Lord to the generosity of the people, only giving this general rule, that they should do according to their ability, and as the Lord had prospered them; (see 1 Corinthians 16:2) so Jarchi, “every man that hath many eatables and much goods shall bring many burnt offerings and many peace offerings.”
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-17 - The laws for the three yearly feasts are here repeated; that of the Passover, that of the Pentecost, that of Tabernacles; and the genera law concerning the people's attendance. Never should a believer forge his low estate of guilt and misery, his deliverance, and the price i cost the Redeemer; that gratitude and joy in the Lord may be mingle with sorrow for sin, and patience under the tribulations in his way to the kingdom of heaven. They must rejoice in their receivings from God and in their returns of service and sacrifice to him; our duty must be our delight, as well as our enjoyment. If those who were under the la must rejoice before God, much more we that are under the grace of the gospel; which makes it our duty to rejoice evermore, to rejoice in the Lord always. When we rejoice in God ourselves, we should do what we can to assist others also to rejoice in him, by comforting the mourners and supplying those who are in want. All who make God their joy, ma rejoice in hope, for He is faithful that has promised.
