1 | Observe the month of Abib, and keep the passover unto the LORD
thy God: for in the month of Abib the LORD thy God brought
thee forth out of Egypt by night. |
|
2 | Thou shalt therefore sacrifice the passover unto the LORD thy
God, of the flock and the herd, in the place which the LORD
shall choose to place his name there. |
|
3 | Thou 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. |
|
4 | And there shall be no leavened bread seen with thee in all thy
coast seven days; neither shall there any thing of the flesh,
which thou sacrificedst the first day at even, remain all
night until the morning. |
|
5 | Thou mayest not sacrifice the passover within any of thy
gates, which the LORD thy God giveth thee: |
|
6 | But at the place which the LORD thy God shall choose to place
his name 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. |
|
7 | And thou shalt roast and eat it in the place which the LORD
thy God shall choose: and thou shalt turn in the morning, and
go unto thy tents. |
|
8 | Six days thou shalt eat unleavened bread: and on the seventh
day shall be a solemn assembly to the LORD thy God: thou shalt
do no work therein. |
|
9 | Seven weeks shalt thou number unto thee: begin to number the
seven weeks from such time as thou beginnest to put the sickle
to the corn. |
|
10 | And thou shalt keep the feast of weeks unto the LORD thy God
with a tribute of a freewill offering of thine hand, which
thou shalt give unto the LORD thy God, according as the LORD
thy God hath blessed thee: |
|
11 | And thou shalt rejoice before the LORD thy God, thou, and thy
son, and thy daughter, and thy manservant, and thy
maidservant, and the Levite that is within thy gates, and the
stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, that are among
you, in the place which the LORD thy God hath chosen to place
his name there. |
|
12 | And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in Egypt: and
thou shalt observe and do these statutes. |
|
13 | Thou shalt observe the feast of tabernacles seven days, after
that thou hast gathered in thy corn and thy wine: |
|
14 | And thou shalt rejoice in thy feast, thou, and thy son, and
thy daughter, and thy manservant, and thy maidservant, and the
Levite, the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, that
are within thy gates. |
|
15 | Seven days shalt thou keep a solemn feast unto the LORD thy
God in the place which the LORD shall choose: because the LORD
thy God shall bless thee in all thine increase, and in all the
works of thine hands, therefore thou shalt surely rejoice. |
|
16 | Three times in a year shall all thy males appear before the
LORD 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 the
LORD empty: |
|
17 | Every man shall give as he is able, according to the blessing
of the LORD thy God which he hath given thee. |
|
18 | Judges and officers shalt thou make thee in all thy gates,
which the LORD thy God giveth thee, throughout thy tribes: and
they shall judge the people with just judgment. |
|
19 | Thou shalt not wrest judgment; thou shalt not respect persons,
neither take a gift: for a gift doth blind the eyes of the
wise, and pervert the words of the righteous. |
|
20 | That which is altogether just shalt thou follow, that thou
mayest live, and inherit the land which the LORD thy God
giveth thee. |
|
21 | Thou shalt not plant thee a grove of any trees near unto the
altar of the LORD thy God, which thou shalt make thee. |
|
22 | Neither shalt thou set thee up any image; which the LORD thy
God hateth. |
