Midrash for Chagigah 11:14
ובית הלל מאי שנא חגיגה דישנה לפני הדיבור דכתיב (שמות כד, ה) ויזבחו זבחים שלמים ראייה נמי הכתיב (שמות כד, ה) ויעלו עולות
And [according to] the house of Hillel, what is the difference [that they differentiated the "appearing" sacrifice and the Chagigah]? The Chagigah precedes the Decalogue, for it is written (Exodus 24:5) "and they sacrificed sacrifices of peace-offerings." But the "appearing" sacrifice also! Behold, it is written, (Exodus 24:5) "and they offered burnt-offerings."
Sifrei Devarim
R. Yossi Haglili says: Three mitzvoth obtain on a festival: the festive offering (chagigah), the sacrifice of peace-offerings, viz. (27:7) "And you shall sacrifice peace-offerings and you shall eat them there"; "appearance" (re'iah), before the L-rd with a burnt-offering, viz. Shemoth 23:15); and rejoicing (simchah).
