¶ Observe the month¹ of Abib, and keep the passover² unto the LORD thy God: for in³ the month of Abib the LORD thy God brought thee forth out of Egypt by night.

Thou shalt therefore sacrifice⁴ the passover unto the LORD thy God, of the flock and the herd, in the place which⁵ the LORD shall choose to place his name there.

Thou shalt eat no⁶ leavened bread with it; seven days shalt thou eat unleavened bread therewith, even the bread⁷ of affliction; for thou camest⁸ forth out of the land of Egypt in haste: that thou mayest⁹ remember the day when thou camest forth out of the land of Egypt all the days of thy life.

And there shall¹⁰ be no leavened bread seen with thee in all thy coast seven days; neither¹¹ shall there any thing of the flesh, which thou sacrificedst the first day at even, remain all night until the morning.

Thou mayest not sacrifice¹² the passover within any of thy gates, 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 even¹³, at the going down of the sun, at the season that thou camest forth out of Egypt.

And thou shalt roast¹⁴ and eat it in the place¹⁵ which the LORD thy God shall choose: and thou shalt turn in the morning, and go unto thy tents.

Six days¹⁶ thou shalt eat unleavened bread: and on the seventh day shall be a solemn assembly¹⁷ to the LORD thy God: thou shalt do no work therein.

¹⁸Seven 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 tribute¹⁹ of a freewill offering of thine hand, which thou shalt give unto the LORD thy God, according²⁰ as the LORD thy God hath blessed thee:

²¹And 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.

²²And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in Egypt: and thou shalt observe and do these statutes.

Thou shalt observe the feast²³ of tabernacles seven days, after that thou hast gathered in thy corn and thy wine²⁴:

²⁵And 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.

Seven days²⁶ shalt thou keep a solemn feast unto the LORD thy God in the place which the LORD shall choose: because²⁷ the LORD thy God shall bless thee in all thine increase, and in all the works of thine hands, therefore thou shalt surely rejoice.

Three times²⁸ 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 shall²⁹ not appear before the LORD empty:

Every man shall give as he is able³⁰, according to the blessing of the LORD thy God which he hath given thee.

¶ Judges³¹ and officers shalt thou make thee in all thy gates³², which the LORD thy God giveth thee, throughout thy tribes: and they shall judge the people with just judgment.

Thou shalt not wrest³³ judgment; thou shalt not respect³⁴ persons, neither take a gift: for a gift doth blind the eyes of the wise, and pervert the words³⁵ of the righteous.

¶ That which³⁶ is altogether just shalt thou follow, that thou mayest live³⁷, and inherit the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.

³⁸Thou 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 image³⁹; which⁴⁰ the LORD thy God hateth.
