Two Feasts of Thanksgiving
This verse establishes two of Israel's three main annual festivals. Commentators identify the "feast of harvest" as the Feast of Weeks (Pentecost), celebrating the first wheat harvest. The "feast of ingathering" is the Feast of Tabernacles, a joyful celebration at the end of the agricultural year when all crops, including grapes and olives, were gathered in.
