IGIT, one should not see the giving of gifts as relating to the previous verses timewise... just because that both verses are around the pilgrimage, that does not mean that it is at the same year... one year the Muslims were forbidden to go for the pilgrimage, and the verses were revealed on what to do if it happened again the following year and the non-believers broke the treaty they have with the Muslims... and in a totally different year, and may be even not the year that followed that, the verses of giving gifts during pilgrimage to Makkah were revealed... you know, there are two kinds of going to Makkah events... one at a specified date... which was used to be called the Big Pilgrimage (Pilgrimage - Hajj in Arabic) and the other, at anytime of the year and was used to be called the Small Pilgrimage ( called Umra in Arabic)... I believe that there are numerous verses in Qur'an that mention the Pilgrimage to Makkah... and not all related to any one event... regards amein
