Context — The Feast of Weeks
8For six days you must eat unleavened bread, and on the seventh day you shall hold a solemn assembly to the LORD your God, and you must not do any work.
9You are to count off seven weeks from the time you first put the sickle to the standing grain.
10And you shall celebrate the Feast 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,
11and you shall rejoice before the LORD your God in the place He will choose as a dwelling for His Name—you, your sons and daughters, your menservants and maidservants, and the Levite within your gates, as well as the foreigner, the fatherless, and the widows among you. 12Remember that you were slaves in Egypt, and carefully follow these statutes.Cross References

As it says in Deuteronomy 16:10, we give in proportion to how the Lord has blessed us, and this can be a powerful way to express our gratitude and worship, just like the Psalmist says in Psalm 100:4-5, to 'enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise'.

With a tribute of a free will offering.] Over and besides the sacrifice appointed for the feast day, and the two loaves with their sacrifices commanded. So good cheap is God’ s service to us, over what it was to them.
Ellicott's Commentary on Deuteronomy 16:10
Deuteronomy 16:9-12. THE FEAST OF WEEKS, OR .See also Exodus 23:16; Exodus 34:18-23; Leviticus 23:15-22; Numbers 28:26-31. The feast itself is ordained in Exodus; the time is given in Leviticus; and the sacrifices in Numbers. (9) From such time as thou beginnest to put the sickle to the corn.—The word for sickle only occurs here and in Deuteronomy 23:25. In Leviticus the weeks are ordered to be reckoned from the offering of the wave sheaf on the sixteenth day of the first month, two days after the Passover. This sheaf was of barley, the first ripe corn. A different view is sometimes taken of the word “Sabbath “in Leviticus 23:11; but the view given here is correct according to the Talmud. (10) A tribute.—This word (missah) occurs nowhere else in the Bible. The marginal rendering, “sufficiency,” is its Aramaic or Chaldæan sense. The idea seems to be “a proportionate offering “—i.e., a free will offering, proportioned to a man’s means and prosperity.
In Exodus 34:20; Exodus 23:15, we read, “None shall appear before me empty.” The command is made general for all the three feasts in Deuteronomy 16:16-17 further on. (11) Thou shalt rejoice before the Lord thy God.—This aspect of the feast of weeks is specially insisted upon in Deuteronomy. Its relation to the poor appears also in the command connected with this feast in Leviticus 23:22, to leave the corners of the fields un-reaped for them.

10. With a tribute of a free will offering — Rather, with a measure. A spontaneous tribute in proportion to their ability.
