* 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 .
