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.
