Deuteronomy:16
Seeker Overlay ON
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
Thou mayest not sacrifice the passover within any of thy gates sha #
ar #,
which the LORD thy God giveth thee :
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 :
*
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 sha #
ar #,
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 .
*
And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in Egypt :
and thou shalt observe and do these statutes .
*
Thou shalt observe the feast of tabernacles seven days ,
after that thou hast gathered in thy corn and thy wine :
*
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 witin thy gates sha #
ar #.
*
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 t @
buw #
ah #,
and in all the works of thine hands ,
therefore thou shalt surely rejoice .
*
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 :
*
Every man shall give as he is able mattanah #,
according to the blessing of the LORD thy God which he hath given thee .
*
Judges and officers shalt thou make thee in all thy gates sha #
ar #,
which the LORD thy God giveth thee ,
throughout thy tribes :
and they shall judge the people with just judgment .
*
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 .
*
That which is altogether just shalt thou follow ,
that thou mayest live ,
and inherit the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee .
*
Thou shalt not plant thee a grove of any trees near unto the altar of the LORD thy God ,
which thou shalt make thee .
*
Neither shalt thou set thee up any image ;
which the LORD thy God hateth .
