Deuteronomy 16

Deuteronomy 16
1¶ Keep the month of the new fruit, {Heb. of Abib} and thou shalt do the passover unto the Lord thy God; for in the month of the new fruit the Lord thy God brought thee forth out of Egypt by night.
2Thou shalt, therefore, sacrifice the passover unto the Lord thy God, of the sheep and the cows, in the place which the Lord shall choose to cause his name to dwell therein.
3Thou shalt eat no leavened bread with it; seven days shalt thou eat unleavened bread therewith, even the bread of affliction; for thou didst come forth out of the land of Egypt in haste; that thou may remember the day when thou didst come forth out of the land of Egypt all the days of thy life.
4And there shall be no leavened bread seen in thee within all thy borders for seven days; neither shall any of the flesh which thou didst sacrifice the evening of the first day remain all night until the morning.
5Thou may not sacrifice the passover within any of thy gates (or within any of thy towns) which the Lord thy God gives thee
6but at the place which the Lord thy God shall choose to cause his name to dwell in; there thou shalt sacrifice the passover in the evening, at the going down of the sun, at the appointed time when thou came forth out of Egypt.
7And thou shalt roast and eat it in the place which the Lord thy God shall choose, and thou shalt turn in the morning and return unto thy tabernacles.
8Six days thou shalt eat unleavened bread, and on the seventh day shall be a solemn feast unto the Lord thy God; thou shalt do no work in this.
9Seven weeks shalt thou number unto thee; begin to number the seven weeks from such time as thou shalt begin to put the sickle to the grain.
10And thou shalt do the solemn feast of weeks unto the Lord thy God; out of the voluntary abundance of thy hand thou shalt give, according as the Lord thy God has blessed thee.
11And thou shalt rejoice before the Lord thy God, thou and thy son and thy daughter and thy manslave and thy maidslave 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 has chosen to place his name there.
12And thou shalt remember that thou wast a slave in Egypt; therefore thou shalt keep and do these statutes.
13Thou shalt observe the solemn feast of the tabernacles seven days after thou hast gathered in the harvest of thy threshing floor and thy winepress.
14And thou shalt rejoice in thy solemn feast, thou and thy son and thy daughter and thy manslave and thy maidslave and the Levite and the stranger and the fatherless and the widow, that are within thy gates (or within thy towns).
15Seven days shalt thou celebrate a solemn feast unto the Lord thy God in the place which the Lord shall choose; because the Lord thy God shall have blessed thee in all thy fruits and in all the works of thine hands, therefore, thou shalt truly be glad.
16Three times each year shall all thy males appear before the Lord thy God in the place which he shall choose: in the solemn feast of unleavened bread and in the solemn feast of weeks and in the solemn feast of the tabernacles. And they shall not appear before the Lord empty,
17Each man with the gift of his hand, according to the blessing of the Lord thy God, which he shall have given thee.
18¶ Judges and officers shalt thou make thee in all the gates of thy cities, which the Lord thy God shall give thee throughout thy tribes, and they shall judge the people with just (and righteous) judgment.
19Thou shalt not twist that which is right; thou shalt not respect persons neither take a bribe, for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and perverts the words of the righteous.
20Thou shalt follow justice and righteousness, that thou may live and inherit the land which the Lord thy God gives thee.
21Thou shalt not plant thee a grove of any trees near unto the altar of the Lord thy God, which thou shalt make thee.
22Neither shalt thou set thee up any image, which the Lord thy God hates.
