Deuteronomy:16:1-17
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Observe the month of Abib ,
and keep the Passover to Yahweh your God ;
for in the month of Abib Yahweh your God brought you forth out of Egypt by night .
*
You shall sacrifice the Passover to Yahweh your God ,
of the flock and the herd ,
in the place which Yahweh shall choose ,
to cause his name to dwell there .
*
You shall eat no leavened bread with it .
You shall eat unleavened bread with it seven days ,
even the bread of affliction ;
for you came forth out of the land of Egypt in haste :
that you may remember the day when you came forth out of the land of Egypt all the days of your life .
*
No yeast shall be seen with you in all your borders seven days ;
neither shall any of the flesh ,
which you sacrifice the first day at evening ,
remain all night until the morning .
*
You may not sacrifice the Passover within any of your gates ,
which Yahweh your God gives you ;
*
but at the place which Yahweh your God shall choose ,
to cause his name to dwell in ,
there you shall sacrifice the Passover at evening ,
at the going down of the sun ,
at the season that you came forth out of Egypt .
*
You shall roast and eat it in the place which Yahweh your God shall choose :
and you shall turn in the morning ,
and go to your tents .
*
Six days you shall eat unleavened bread .
On the seventh day shall be a solemn assembly to Yahweh your God ;
you shall do no work .
*
You shall count for yourselves seven weeks :
from the time you begin to put the sickle to the standing grain you shall begin to number seven weeks .
*
You shall keep the feast of weeks to Yahweh your God with a tribute of a freewill offering of your hand ,
which you shall give ,
according as Yahweh your God blesses you :
*
and you shall rejoice before Yahweh your God ,
you ,
and your son ,
and your daughter ,
and your male servant ,
and your female servant ,
and the Levite who is within your gates ,
and the foreigner ,
and the fatherless ,
and the widow ,
who are in the midst of you ,
in the place which Yahweh your God shall choose ,
to cause his name to dwell there .
*
You shall remember that you were a bondservant in Egypt :
and you shall observe and do these statutes .
*
You shall keep the feast of tents seven days ,
after that you have gathered in from your threshing floor and from your winepress :
*
and you shall rejoice in your feast ,
you ,
and your son ,
and your daughter ,
and your male servant ,
and your female servant ,
and the Levite ,
and the foreigner ,
and the fatherless ,
and the widow ,
who are within your gates .
*
You shall keep a feast to Yahweh your God seven days in the place which Yahweh shall choose ;
because Yahweh your God will bless you in all your increase ,
and in all the work of your hands ,
and you shall be altogether joyful .
*
Three times in a year shall all your males appear before Yahweh your 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 tents ;
and they shall not appear before Yahweh empty :
*
every man shall give as he is able ,
according to the blessing of Yahweh your God which he has given you .
