chapter 16
1
Observe
the month of new corn, which is the first of the spring, that thou mayst
celebrate the phase to the Lord thy God: because in this month the Lord thy God
brought thee out of Egypt by night.
2 And thou shalt sacrifice the phase to the Lord thy
God, of sheep, and of oxen, in the place which the Lord thy God shall choose,
that his name may dwell there.
3 Thou shalt not eat with it leavened bread: seven days
shalt thou eat without leaven, the bread of affliction, because thou camest out
of Egypt in fear: that thou mayst remember the day of thy coming out of Egypt,
all the days of thy life.
4 No leaven shall be seen in all thy coasts for seven
days, neither shall any of the flesh of that which was sacrificed the first day
in the evening remain until morning.
5 Thou mayst not immolate the phase in any one of thy
cities, which the Lord thy God will give thee:
6 But in the place which the Lord thy God shall choose,
that his name may dwell there: thou shalt immolate the phase in the evening, at
the going down of the sun, at which time thou camest out of Egypt.
7 And thou shalt dress, and eat it in the place which
the Lord thy God shall choose, and in the morning rising up thou shalt go into
thy dwellings.
8 Six days shalt thou eat unleavened bread: and on the
seventh day, because it is the assembly of the Lord thy God, thou shalt do no
work.
9 Thou shalt number unto thee seven weeks from that
day, wherein thou didst put the sickle to the corn.
10 And thou shalt celebrate the festival of weeks to
the Lord thy God, a voluntary oblation of thy hand, which thou shalt offer
according to the blessing of the Lord thy God.
11 And thou shalt feast 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, who abide with you: in the place which the Lord thy God shall choose,
that his name may dwell there:
12 And thou shalt remember that thou wast a servant in
Egypt: and thou shalt keep and do the things that are commanded.
13 Thou shalt celebrate the solemnity also of
tabernacles seven days, when thou hast gathered in thy fruit of the barnfloor
and of the winepress.
14 And thou shalt make merry in thy festival time,
thou, thy son, and thy daughter, thy manservant, and thy maidservant, the
Levite also and the stranger, and the fatherless and the widow that are within
thy gates.
15 Seven days shalt thou celebrate feasts to the Lord
thy God in the place which the Lord shall choose: and the Lord thy God will
bless thee in all thy fruits, and in every work of thy hands, and thou shalt be
in joy.
16 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, in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tabernacles. No
one shall appear with his hands empty before the Lord:
17 But every one shall offer according to what he hath,
according to the blessing of the Lord his God, which he shall give him.
18 Thou shalt appoint judges and magistrates in all thy
gates, which the Lord thy God shall give thee, in all thy tribes: that they may
judge the people with just judgment,
19 And not go aside to either part. Thou shalt not
accept person nor gifts: for gifts blind the eyes of the wise, and change the
words of the just.
20 Thou shalt follow justly after that which is just:
that thou mayst live and possess the land, which the Lord thy God shall give
thee.
21 Thou shalt plant no grove, nor any tree near the
altar of the Lord thy God:
22 Neither shalt thou make nor set up to thyself a
statue: which things the Lord thy God hateth.
