You are to bring there your burnt offerings and sacrifices, your tenths and personal contributions, your vow offerings and freewill offerings, and the firstborn of your herds and flocks.You will eat there in the presence of the Lord your God and rejoice with your household in everything you do, because the Lord your God has blessed you.

Amos 4:6-7
I gave you absolutely nothing to eat in all your cities, a shortage of food in all your communities, yet you did not return to Me. This is the Lord’s declaration.I also withheld the rain from you while there were still three months until harvest. I sent rain on one city but no rain on another. One field received rain while a field with no rain withered.

Isaiah 62:8-9
The Lord has sworn with His right hand and His strong arm: I will no longer give your grain to your enemies for food, and foreigners will not drink your new wine you have labored for.For those who gather grain will eat it and praise the Lord, and those who harvest the grapes will drink the wine in My holy courts.

Joel 1:5-9
Wake up, you drunkards, and weep; wail, all you wine drinkers, because of the sweet wine, for it has been taken from your mouth.For a nation has invaded My land, powerful and without number; its teeth are the teeth of a lion, and it has the fangs of a lioness.It has devastated My grapevine and splintered My fig tree. It has stripped off its bark and thrown it away; its branches have turned white.Grieve like a young woman dressed in sackcloth, mourning for the husband of her youth.Grain and drink offerings have been cut off from the house of the Lord; the priests, who are ministers of the Lord, mourn.

then Yahweh your God will choose the place to have His name dwell.

Dress in sackcloth and lament, you priests; wail, you ministers of the altar. Come and spend the night in sackcloth, you ministers of my God, because grain and drink offerings are withheld from the house of your God.

Deuteronomy 16:10-15
You are to celebrate the Festival of Weeks to the Lord your God with a freewill offering that you give in proportion to how the Lord your God has blessed you.Rejoice before Yahweh your God in the place where He chooses to have His name dwell— you, your son and daughter, your male and female slave, the Levite within your gates, as well as the foreigner, the fatherless, and the widow among you.Remember that you were slaves in Egypt; carefully follow these statutes.“ You are to celebrate the Festival of Booths for seven days when you have gathered in everything from your threshing floor and winepress.Rejoice during your festival— you, your son and daughter, your male and female slave, as well as the Levite, the foreigner, the fatherless, and the widow within your gates.You are to hold a seven-day festival for the Lord your God in the place He chooses, because the Lord your God will bless you in all your produce and in all the work of your hands, and you will have abundant joy.
