Week 60, Day 2: Three Times

Today’s Reading:  Deut 16:1-22

Some thoughts from today’s reading…

Moses reminds Israel that they are to appear before the Lord three times a year (vs. 16).  For the Passover/ Feast of Unleavened bread, at the feast of weeks, and for the feast of Booths.  These were not optional feasts that they were to attend.  Moses also tells them not to come empty-handed before God.  So their obligations are made clear to them.  Moses is giving them all those last words of advice because he will soon not be with them.  These feasts were very imiportant for an Israelite.  But as we see, Israel was not faithful to continue in these things for long.

Question: How does this text refer to the bread they were to eat during the feast of unleavened bread (vs. 3)?  Why do you think it is referred to as this?
