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