Exodus 34:22 → Exodus 23:14

Allusion

Significance

The connection between Exodus 34 and Exodus 23 illuminates Israel's worship theology. Patterns of true worship develop through Scripture, finding their fulfillment in Christ, who enables worship 'in spirit and truth' (John 4:23-24) as both our sacrifice and our High Priest.

Found via: Treasury of Scripture Knowledge
Reference Type: Allusion
Connection Method(s): Redemptive-Historical Progression — covenant renewal after the golden calf re-issues the Covenant Code's festal command: the pilgrimage calendar of Exodus 23:14 is restated in 34:22 (Feast of Weeks, Feast of Ingathering), God re-establishing the rhythms of worship with a forgiven people rather than abandoning them
