DEUTERONOMY ยท Chapter 16
16:1 Observe the month of Abib, and keep the passover unto the LORD
your God: for in the month of Abib the LORD your God brought you forth
out of Egypt by night.
16:2 You shall therefore sacrifice the passover unto the LORD your
God, of the flock and the herd, in the place which the LORD shall choose
to place his name there.
16:3 You shall eat no leavened bread with it; seven days shall you
eat unleavened bread therewith, 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.
16:4 And there shall be no leavened bread seen with you in all your
coast seven days; neither shall there any thing of the flesh, which you
sacrificed the first day at even, remain all night until the morning.
16:5 You may not sacrifice the passover within any of your gates, which
the LORD your God gives you:
16:6 But at the place which the LORD your God shall choose to place
his name in, there you shall sacrifice the passover at even, at the going
down of the sun, at the season that you came forth out of Egypt.
16:7 And you shall roast and eat it in the place which the LORD your
God shall choose: and you shall turn in the morning, and go unto your tents.
16:8 Six days you shall eat unleavened bread: and on the seventh day
shall be a solemn assembly to the LORD your God: you shall do no work therein.
16:9 Seven weeks shall you number unto you: begin to number the seven
weeks from such time as you begin to put the sickle to the corn.
16:10 And you shall keep the feast of weeks unto the LORD your God
with a tribute of a freewill offering of your hand, which you shall give
unto the LORD your God, according as the LORD your God has blessed you:
16:11 And you shall rejoice before the LORD your God, you, and your
son, and your daughter, and your manservant, and your maidservant, and
the Levite that is within your gates, and the stranger, and the fatherless,
and the widow, that are among you, in the place which the LORD your God
has chosen to place his name there.
16:12 And you shall remember that you were a bondman in Egypt: and
you shall observe and do these statutes.
16:13 You shall observe the feast of tabernacles seven days, after
that you have gathered in your corn and your wine:
16:14 And you shall rejoice in your feast, you, and your son, and your
daughter, and your manservant, and your maidservant, and the Levite, the
stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, that are within your gates.
16:15 Seven days shall you keep a solemn feast unto the LORD your God
in the place which the LORD shall choose: because the LORD your God shall
bless you in all of your increase, and in all the works of your hands,
therefore you shall surely rejoice.
16:16 Three times in a year shall all your males appear before the
LORD 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 tabernacles: and
they shall not appear before the LORD empty:
16:17 Every man shall give as he is able, according to the blessing
of the LORD your God which he has given you.
16:18 Judges and officers shall you make you in all your gates, which
the LORD your God gives you, throughout your tribes: and they shall judge
the people with just judgment.
16:19 You shall not shift judgment; you shall not respect persons,
neither take a gift: for a gift does blind the eyes of the wise, and pervert
the words of the righteous.
16:20 That which is altogether just shall you follow, that you may
live, and inherit the land which the LORD your God gives you.
16:21 You shall not plant you a grove of any trees near unto the altar
of the LORD your God, which you shall make you.
16:22 Neither shall you set you up any image; which the LORD your God
hates.
