1 Keep the month of Abib and celebrate the Passover to the LORD your God, because it was in the month of Abib that the LORD your God brought you out of Egypt by night.
2 Sacrifice the Passover to the LORD your God from the flock or the herd, at the place the LORD will choose to make his name dwell.
3 Do not eat anything leavened with it. For seven days eat unleavened bread with it, the bread of affliction, because you left the land of Egypt in a hurry. Do this so that all the days of your life you will remember the day you came out of the land of Egypt.
4 For seven days no leaven is to be seen anywhere in your territory, and none of the meat you sacrifice in the evening of the first day may be left until morning.
5 You are not permitted to sacrifice the Passover in just any of the towns the LORD your God is giving you.
6 Only at the place the LORD your God will choose to make his name dwell are you to sacrifice the Passover, in the evening as the sun goes down, at the hour you came out of Egypt.
7 Cook it and eat it at the place the LORD your God will choose, and in the morning turn back and go home to your tents.
8 For six days eat unleavened bread, and on the seventh day hold a solemn assembly for the LORD your God. Do no work on it.
9 Count off seven weeks; begin counting the seven weeks from the time you first put the sickle to the standing grain.
10 Then celebrate the Feast of Weeks to the LORD your God by bringing a freewill offering from your hand, in proportion to how the LORD your God blesses you.
11 Rejoice in the presence of the LORD your God at the place he will choose to make his name dwell, you, your son and daughter, your male and female servants, the Levite within your gates, and the sojourner, the fatherless, and the widow in your midst.
12 Remember that you were a slave in Egypt, and take care to keep these statutes.
13 Celebrate the Feast of Booths for seven days, after you have gathered the yield of your threshing floor and your winepress.
14 Rejoice at your feast, you, your son and daughter, your male and female servants, and the Levite, the sojourner, the fatherless, and the widow within your gates.
15 For seven days hold a feast for the LORD your God at the place the LORD will choose, because the LORD your God will bless you in all your harvest and in all the work of your hands, and you will be full of joy.
16 Three times a year every male among you is to appear before the LORD your God at the place he will choose: at the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the Feast of Weeks, and the Feast of Booths. No one is to appear before the LORD with empty hands.
17 Each of you is to give as he is able, in keeping with the blessing the LORD your God has given you.
18 Appoint judges and officials for your tribes in all the towns the LORD your God is giving you, and let them judge the people with just judgment.
19 Do not pervert justice or show partiality. Do not accept a bribe, because a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and twists the words of the righteous.
20 Righteousness, nothing but righteousness, is what you are to pursue, so that you may live and take possession of the land the LORD your God is giving you.
21 Do not plant any kind of tree as an Asherah beside the altar you build for the LORD your God,
22 and do not set up a sacred pillar, which the LORD your God hates.
