17 Three times in the year let all your males come before the Lord God.
Three times in the year let all your males come before the Lord your God in the place named by him; at the feast of unleavened bread, the feast of weeks, and the feast of tents: and they are not to come before the Lord with nothing in their hands;
Three times in the year let all your males come before the Lord, the God of Israel.
But let your hearts be turned to the place which will be marked out by the Lord your God, among your tribes, to put his name there;
When all Israel has come before the Lord your God in the place named by him, let a reading be given of this law in the hearing of all Israel.
