Some Explaining

The Feast of Unleavened Bread
The Feast of Harvest/Weeks/Pentecost
The Feast of Ingathering/Booths/Tabernacles

Three times thou shalt keep a feast unto me in the year. Thou shalt keep the feast of unleavened bread: (thou shalt eat unleavened bread seven days, as I commanded thee, in the time appointed of the month Abib; for in it thou camest out from Egypt: and none shall appear before me empty:) And the feast of harvest, the firstfruits of thy labours, which thou hast sown in the field: and the feast of ingathering, which is in the end of the year, when thou hast gathered in thy labours out of the field. Three times in the year all thy males shall appear before the Lord GOD. Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leavened bread; neither shall the fat of my sacrifice remain until the morning. The first of the firstfruits of thy land thou shalt bring into the house of the LORD thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother's milk.-Exodus 23:14-19***Before the Lord God brought the 10th and final plague upon Pharaoh and Egypt, the Lord gave Moses commands for the Israelites regarding the selection of a 1-year-old male lamb or goat, and the animal's blood, and the doorposts of the Israelites' homes, instituting the Passover. The Lord God also gave Moses commands for celebrating the Feast of Unleavened Bread. Months after Moses and his older brother Aaron led their fellow Israelites away from Egyptian slavery, across the divinely parted Red Sea, and into the desert wilderness of Shur, they were in the desert wilderness of Sinai, in the region of Mount Sinai. The Israelites heard the voice of the Lord God proclaim the Ten Commandments to them, and the Lord God began giving Moses judgments for the Israelites. Sometime thereafter, while the Israelites, and those with them, were still in Sinai, the Lord God gave Moses commands for the Feasts of Unleavened Bread and 2 other feasts. The Feast of Harvest is also known as the Feast of Pentecost, the Feast of Weeks, and Shavuot. The Feast of Ingathering is also known as the Feast of Booths, the Feast of Tabernacles, and Sukkot. During the 40th year of their journey to Canaan, the Promised Land, Aaron died and was buried upon Mount Hor, and Moses went upon Mount Nebo. The Lord God showed Moses the Promised Land, and Moses died and was divinely buried. Joshua, Moses' successor, led the Israelites across the divinely parted Jordan River and onto the land that the Lord God promised to give to Abraham (Abram the Hebrew), and to Abraham's son Isaac, and to Isaac's youngest fraternal twin son Jacob (Israel), and to their descendants. Over 1,300 years after Joshua died and was buried in his tribe's portion of the Promised Land, Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, was born. Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit in the womb of Mary, a virgin, and Jesus was born into the tribe of Jacob's 4th born son Judah to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin. Approximately 30 years after Jesus was born to Joseph and Mary, Jesus was baptized in the Jordan River by Mary's relative John the Baptist. Shortly thereafter, Jesus began to preach, teach and perform miracles among the Israelites. When Jesus was in Galilee, Jesus went to Jerusalem in Judea during the time of the Feast of Tabernacles.-Genesis 11:26-50:26, Exodus, Leviticus 23:1-44, Numbers 20:1-29, 27:12-23, Deuteronomy 4:1-5:33, 16:1-22, 31:1-30, 32:44-52, 34:1-12, Joshua 1:1-4:24, 23:1-24:33, 1 Chronicles 1:1-34, 2:1-17, 3:1-24, 6:1-81, 7:20-29, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26
