Exodus 23:17

Three times in the year all thy males shall appear before the
Lord thy God.
] In the city of Jerusalem, when they were come into the land of Canaan, and the temple was there built: here they were to show themselves before the Lord as being his, and devoted to his service; concerning which the Misnic doctors have the following canon F3,

``all are bound to appear except a man deaf and dumb, a fool, a little one, one of neither sex, or of both sexes, women, servants not free, the lame, the blind, the sick, an old man, and he that cannot go on his feet.''

Exode 23:17 In-Context

15 Tu observeras la fĂȘte des pains sans levain (tu mangeras des pains sans levain pendant sept jours, comme je te l'ai commandĂ©, Ă  l'Ă©poque du mois des Ă©pis, car en ce mois-lĂ  tu es sorti d'Égypte; et l'on ne se prĂ©sentera point Ă  vide devant ma face);
16 Et la fĂȘte de la moisson, des premiers fruits de ton travail, de ce que tu auras semĂ© aux champs; et la fĂȘte de la rĂ©colte, Ă  la fin de l'annĂ©e, quand tu auras recueilli des champs les fruits de ton travail.
17 Trois fois l'an tous les mĂąles se prĂ©senteront devant le Seigneur, l'Éternel.
18 Tu n'offriras point avec du pain levĂ© le sang de mon sacrifice; et la graisse de ma fĂȘte ne passera point la nuit jusqu'au matin.
19 Tu apporteras les prĂ©mices des premiers fruits de la terre Ă  la maison de l'Éternel ton Dieu. Tu ne feras point cuire le chevreau dans le lait de sa mĂšre
