16 Eat the Feast of Harvest every year. Offer to me the first crops that you bring from your fields.[a]

At the end of each year, eat Feast of Final Harvest. Do that when you have finished bringing in all of your crops from the fields.

17 Three times each year, all your men must come to worship the Almighty Lord.

18 When you kill an animal to offer it to me as a sacrifice, do not offer it with bread that has yeast in it. Be sure to burn all the fat of the animal on the same day. Do not keep any of it until the next morning.
