Exegesis
In the parallel section, betset hashanah {בְּצֵאת הַשָּׁנָה | bə-ṣēʾṯ ha-šānāh} ‘at the going out of the year’ establishes the temporal frame for beaspkha {בְּאָסְפְּךָ | bə-ʾāsəpkha} ‘when you gather’, with et maasekha {אֶת־מַעֲשֶׂיךָ | ʾet maʿăśêkā} ‘your produce’ from min hasadeh {מִן־הַשָּׂדֶה | min ha-sādê} ‘from the field’. This syntactic parallelism underscores the coordinated ordering of agricultural rites and temporal markers in the Hebrew text and informs the English rendering of ritual structure.
In context — Exodus 23:16
And the Festival of Harvest, the firstfruits of your labor, which you sow in the field, and the Festival of Ingathering at the end of the year, when you gather in from the field the produce of your labor.
