Exodus 34:17-28

Exodus 34:17-28 NCV

“Do not make gods of melted metal. “Celebrate the Feast of Unleavened Bread. For seven days you must eat bread made without yeast as I commanded you. Do this during the month I have chosen, the month of Abib, because in that month you came out of Egypt. “The firstborn of every mother belongs to me, including every firstborn male animal that is born in your flocks and herds. You may buy back a donkey by paying for it with a lamb, but if you don’t want to buy back a donkey, you must break its neck. You must buy back all your firstborn sons. “No one is to come before me without a gift. “You must work for six days, but on the seventh day you must rest—even during the planting season and the harvest season. “Celebrate the Feast of Weeks when you gather the first grain of the wheat harvest. And celebrate the Feast of Shelters in the fall. “Three times each year all your males must come before the Lord GOD, the God of Israel. I will force out nations ahead of you and expand the borders of your land. You will go before the LORD your God three times each year, and at that time no one will try to take your land from you. “Do not offer the blood of a sacrifice to me with anything containing yeast, and do not leave any of the sacrifice of the Feast of Passover until the next morning. “Bring the best first crops that you harvest from your ground to the Tent of the LORD your God. “You must not cook a young goat in its mother’s milk.” Then the LORD said to Moses, “Write down these words, because with these words I have made an agreement with you and Israel.” Moses stayed there with the LORD forty days and forty nights, and during that time he did not eat food or drink water. And Moses wrote the words of the Agreement—the Ten Commandments—on the stone tablets.
