Deuteronomy 16:15-17
New English Translation

15 You are to celebrate the festival seven days before the Lord your God in the place he[a] chooses, for he[b] will bless you in all your productivity and in whatever you do;[c] so you will indeed rejoice! 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[d] empty-handed. 17 Every one of you must give as you are able,[e] according to the blessing of the Lord your God that he has given you.
