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.
02 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.
03 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.
04 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.
05 Thou mayest not sacrifice the passover within
any of thy gates, which the Lord thy God giveth
thee:
06 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.
07 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.
08 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.
09 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.
