Deuteronomy 16:16-17

16 Three times a year all your males must appear before the Lord your God in the place he chooses for the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the Feast of Weeks, and the Feast of Shelters; and they must not appear before him ^{▼▼tn Heb “the Lord.” See note on “he” in 16:1.} empty-handed. 17 Every one of you must give as you are able, ^{▼▼tn Heb “a man must give according to the gift of his hand.” This has been translated as second person for stylistic reasons, in keeping with the second half of the verse, which is second person rather than third.} according to the blessing of the Lord your God that he has given you.
