Exodus 34:22

34:22 “You must observe the Feast of Weeks – the firstfruits of the harvest of wheat – and the Feast of Ingathering at the end of the year.

Exodus 34:26

34:26 “The first of the firstfruits of your soil you must bring to the house of the Lord your God.

You must not cook a young goat in its mother’s milk.”


tn The imperfect tense means “you will do”; it is followed by the preposition with a suffix to express the ethical dative to stress the subject.

tn The expression is “the turn of the year,” which is parallel to “the going out of the year,” and means the end of the agricultural season.

sn See the note on this same command in 23:19.
