1Observe the month of Abib, and keep the passover unto Jehovah thy God ; for in the month of Abib Jehovah thy God brought thee forth out of Egypt by night . 2And thou shalt sacrifice the passover unto Jehovah thy God , of the flock and the herd , in the place which Jehovah shall choose, to cause his name to dwell there . 3Thou shalt eat no leavened bread with it ; seven days shalt thou eat unleavened bread therewith, even the bread of affliction ; for thou camest forth out of the land of Egypt in haste : that thou mayest remember the day when thou camest forth out of the land of Egypt all the days of thy life . 4And there shall be no leaven seen with thee in all thy borders seven days ; neither shall any of the flesh , which thou sacrificest the first day at even , remain all night until the morning . 5Thou mayest not sacrifice the passover within any of thy gates , which Jehovah thy God giveth thee ; 6but at the place which Jehovah thy God shall choose, to cause his name to dwell in , there thou shalt sacrifice the passover at even , at the going down of the sun , at the season that thou camest forth out of Egypt . 7And thou shalt roast and eat it in the place which Jehovah thy God shall choose: and thou shalt turn in the morning , and go unto thy tents. 8Six days thou shalt eat unleavened bread ; and on the seventh day shall be a solemn assembly to Jehovah thy God ; thou shalt do no work therein .
The Feast of Weeks
9Seven weeks shalt thou number unto thee: from the time thou beginnest to put the sickle to the standing grain shalt thou begin to number seven weeks . 10And thou shalt keep the feast of weeks unto Jehovah thy God with a tribute of a freewill-offering of thy hand , which thou shalt give , according as Jehovah thy God blesseth thee : 11and thou shalt rejoice before Jehovah thy God , thou , and thy son , and thy daughter , and thy man-servant, and thy maid-servant, and the Levite that is within thy gates , and the sojourner , and the fatherless , and the widow, that are in the midst of thee , in the place which Jehovah thy God shall choose, to cause his name to dwell there . 12And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in Egypt : and thou shalt observe and do these statutes .
The Feast of Tabernacles
13Thou shalt keep the feast of tabernacles seven days , after that thou hast gathered in from thy threshing-floor and from thy winepress : 14and thou shalt rejoice in thy feast , thou, and thy son , and thy daughter , and thy man-servant, and thy maid-servant, and the Levite , and the sojourner , and the fatherless , and the widow, that are within thy gates . 15Seven days shalt thou keep a feast unto Jehovah thy God in the place which Jehovah shall choose; because Jehovah thy God will bless thee in all thine increase , and in all the work of thy hands , and thou shalt be altogether joyful .
Justice and Appointing Judges
16Three times in a year shall all thy males appear before Jehovah thy God in the place which he shall choose: in the feast of unleavened bread , and in the feast of weeks , and in the feast of tabernacles ; and they shall not appear before Jehovah empty : 17every man shall give as he is able , according to the blessing of Jehovah thy God which he hath given thee . 18Judges and officers shalt thou make thee in all thy gates , which Jehovah thy God giveth thee , according to thy tribes ; and they shall judge the people with righteous judgment . 19Thou shalt not wrest justice : thou shalt not respect persons ; neither shalt thou take a bribe ; for a bribe doth blind the eyes of the wise , and pervert the words of the righteous . 20That which is altogether just shalt thou follow , that thou mayest live , and inherit the land which Jehovah thy God giveth thee . 21Thou shalt not plant thee an Asherah of any kind of tree beside the altar of Jehovah thy God , which thou shalt make thee . 22Neither shalt thou set thee up a pillar ; which Jehovah thy God hateth .
