Exodus 23:14

“Three times ¹  in the year you must make a pilgrim feast ²  to me.

Ex 34:22; Le 23:5,16,34; De 16:16

¹ tn The expression rendered “three times” is really “three feet,” or “three foot-beats.” The expression occurs only a few times in the Law. The expressing is an adverbial accusative.

² tn This is the word תָּחֹג (takhog) from the root חָגַג (khagag); it describes a feast that was accompanied by a pilgrimage. It was first used by Moses in his appeal that Israel go three days into the desert to hold such a feast.
