Three times in a year shall all thy males appear before the Lord thy God--No command was laid on women to undertake the journeys, partly from regard to the natural weakness of their sex, and partly to their domestic cares.
افتح المصدر ↗Three times a year shall all thy males appear before the Lord thy God,.... This has been observed before, Exo 23:17, and is repeated here for the sake of mentioning the place where they were to appear, which before now was not observed, and indeed it is chiefly for that the other festivals are here recited: in the place which he shall choose; which though not expressed is now easily understood; and the three times at which they were to appear there were, in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tabernacles; or passover, Pentecost, and tabernacles; and of numbers of people going up from the country to each of these feasts, we have instances in the New Testament; to the passover, Luk 2:42, to Pentecost, Act 2:5, to tabernacles, Joh 7:2, and they shall not appear before the Lord empty; Aben Ezra observes, the meaning is, not empty of the tribute of the freewill offering of their hand, and which Jarchi more fully explains of the burnt offerings of appearance, and of the peace offerings of the Chagigah, or money answerable to them; which, according to the Misnah (q) was a meah of silver for a burnt offering, and two pieces of silver for the Chagigah, which weighed thirty two barley corns (r). (q) Chagigah, c. 1. sect. 2. (r) Maimon. & Bartenora in ib.

قَدِّمُوا لِلرَّبِّ مَجْدَ اسْمِهِ. هَاتُوا تَقْدِمَةً وَادْخُلُوا دِيَارَهُ.
انْتَظَرْتُمْ كَثِيرًا وَإِذَا هُوَ قَلِيلٌ. وَلَمَّا أَدْخَلْتُمُوهُ الْبَيْتَ نَفَخْتُ عَلَيْهِ. لِمَاذَا؟ يَقُولُ رَبُّ الْجُنُودِ. لأَجْلِ بَيْتِي الَّذِي هُوَ خَرَابٌ، وَأَنْتُمْ رَاكِضُونَ كُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ.
وَأَتَوْا إِلَى الْبَيْتِ، وَرَأَوْا الصَّبِيَّ مَعَ مَرْيَمَ أُمِّهِ. فَخَرُّوا وَسَجَدُوا لَهُ. ثُمَّ فَتَحُوا كُنُوزَهُمْ وَقَدَّمُوا لَهُ هَدَايَا: ذَهَبًا وَلُبَانًا وَمُرًّا.
وَأَمَّا بِكْرُ الْحِمَارِ فَتَفْدِيهِ بِشَاةٍ، وَإِنْ لَمْ تَفْدِهِ تَكْسِرُ عُنُقَهُ. كُلُّ بِكْرٍ مِنْ بَنِيكَ تَفْدِيهِ، وَلاَ يَظْهَرُوا أَمَامِي فَارِغِينَ.
وَكَانَ سُلَيْمَانُ يُصْعِدُ ثَلاَثَ مَرَّاتٍ فِي السَّنَةِ مُحْرَقَاتٍ وَذَبَائِحَ سَلاَمَةٍ عَلَى الْمَذْبَحِ الَّذِي بَنَاهُ لِلرَّبِّ، وَكَانَ يُوقِدُ عَلَى الَّذِي أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ. وَأَكْمَلَ الْبَيْتَ.
وَتَكُونُ تِجَارَتُهَا وَأُجْرَتُهَا قُدْسًا لِلرَّبِّ. لاَ تُخْزَنُ وَلاَ تُكْنَزُ، بَلْ تَكُونُ تِجَارَتُهَا لِلْمُقِيمِينَ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ، لأَكْل إِلَى الشِبَعِ وَلِلِبَاسٍ فَاخِرٍ.
فَأَخَذُوهُ وَجَلَدُوهُ وَأَرْسَلُوهُ فَارِغًا.
