Parshanut zu Schemot 34:23
שָׁלֹ֥שׁ פְּעָמִ֖ים בַּשָּׁנָ֑ה יֵרָאֶה֙ כָּל־זְכ֣וּרְךָ֔ אֶת־פְּנֵ֛י הָֽאָדֹ֥ן ׀ יְהוָ֖ה אֱלֹהֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
Dreimal im Jahre sollen erscheinen alle deine Männlichen vor dem Angesichte [im Heiligtum] des Herrn, des Gottes Israels.
Meshekh Chokhmah
And no man will covet. When the three pilgrim visits are mentioned in Parashas Mishpatim (23:17) this promise does not appear. This is because before the sin of the calf the B’nei Yisrael were completely unassailable. Now, however, they were vulnerable to attack and needed special assurance that they would come to no harm through making the pilgrimage (Meshech Chochmah).
