Contextual Overview
18"You shall keep the Feast of Unleavened Bread. For seven days you shall eat unleavened bread, which I commanded you, at the appointed time in the month of Abib, for in the month of Abib you came out of Egypt. 19"The first offspring from every womb belongs to Me, even of all your male livestock, the first offspring from cattle and sheep. 20And you shall redeem with a lamb the first offspring from a donkey; and if you do not redeem it, then you shall break its neck. You shall redeem all the firstborn of your sons. None shall appear before Me empty-handed. 21"You shall work six days, but on the seventh day you shall rest; even during plowing time and harvest you shall rest. 22And you shall celebrate the Feast of Weeks, that is, the first fruits of the wheat harvest, and the Feast of Ingathering at the turn of the year. 23Three times a year all your males are to appear before the Lord Yahweh, the God of Israel. 24For I will dispossess nations before you and enlarge your borders, and no man shall covet your land when you go up three times a year to appear before Yahweh your God. 25"You shall not offer the blood of My sacrifice with leavened bread, and the sacrifice of the Feast of the Passover shall not be left over until morning. 26"You shall bring the very first of the first fruits of your ground into the house of Yahweh your God. "You shall not boil a young goat in its mother's milk." 27Then Yahweh said to Moses, "Write down these words, for in accordance with these words I have cut a covenant with you and with Israel."

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The precepts contained in these verses are, for the most part, identical in substance with some of those which follow the Ten Commandments and are recorded in âthe Book of the covenantâ (Exo. 20â23; see Exodus 24:7).
Exodus 34:13
Cut down their groves - This is the first reference to what is commonly known as grove-worship. The original word for âgroveâ in this connection ×ש××¨× 'aÌsheÌraÌh is different from that so rendered in Genesis 21:33. Our translators supposed that what the law commands is the destruction of groves dedicated to the worship of false deities Judges 6:25; 2 Kings 18:4; but inasmuch as the worship of asherah is found associated with that of Astarte, or Ashtoreth Judges 2:13; Jdg 10:6; 1 Samuel 7:4, it seems probable that while Astarte was the personal name of the goddess, the asherah was a symbol of her, probably in some one of her characters, made in wood in some conventional form.
Exodus 34:15-16
An expansion of Exodus 34:12. The unfaithfulness of the nation to its covenant with Yahweh is here for the first time spoken of as a breach of the marriage bond. The metaphor is, in any case, a natural one, but it seems to gain point, if we suppose it to convey an allusion to the abominations connected with pagan worship, such as are spoken of in Numbers 25:1-3.
Exodus 34:21
See Exodus 20:9; Exodus 23:12. There is here added to the commandment a particular caution respecting those times of year when the land calls for most labor. The old verb âto earâ (i. e. to plow) is genuine English.
Exodus 34:24
Neither shall any man desire etc. - Intended to encourage such as might fear the consequences of obeying the divine law in attending to their religious duties. Compare Proverbs 16:7.
