DEUTERONOMY—NOTE ON Deuteronomy 16:1 These verses deal with the three main Israelite feasts (see Exodus 23:14). If Deuteronomy 1:1’s detailed laws are arranged in the order of the Ten Commandments, this section corresponds to the Sabbath law in Deuteronomy 5:12. On Passover, see Exodus 12:2; Numbers 28:16. On the Feast of Weeks, see Leviticus 23:15; Numbers 28:26. On the Feast of Booths, see Leviticus 23:33; Numbers 29:12. All the feasts occur at the central place of worship. For those who lived outside Jerusalem, attendance required several days of travel (compare Luke 2:41).
