Deuteronomy 16
- 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.
