And you are to celebrate the Feast of Weeks
on Exodus 34:22-23
With Unleavened Bread at verse 18 this makes the three annual feasts, and verse 23 counts them, Three times a year. The Feast of Weeks is the Pentecost of Acts 2:1, and the Feast of Ingathering is the one Leviticus 23:34 calls Tabernacles.
