9 H7651 Seven H7620 weeks H5608 shalt thou number [H8799] H2490 unto thee: begin [H8687] H5608 to number [H8800] H7651 the seven H7620 weeks H2490 from such time as thou beginnest [H8686] H2770 to put the sickle H7054 to the corn.

10 H6213 And thou shalt keep [H8804] H2282 the feast H7620 of weeks H3068 unto the LORD H430 thy God H4530 with a tribute H5071 of a freewill offering H3027 of thine hand H5414 , which thou shalt give [H8799] H3068 unto the LORD thy God, according as the LORD H430 thy God H1288 hath blessed [H8762] thee:

13 H6213 Thou shalt observe [H8799] H2282 the feast H5521 of tabernacles H7651 seven H3117 days H622 , after that thou hast gathered [H8800] H1637 in thy corn H3342 and thy wine:

14 H8055 And thou shalt rejoice [H8804] H2282 in thy feast H1121 , thou, and thy son H1323 , and thy daughter H5650 , and thy manservant H519 , and thy maidservant H3881 , and the Levite H1616 , the stranger H3490 , and the fatherless H490 , and the widow H8179 , that are within thy gates.

15 H7651 Seven H3117 days H2287 shalt thou keep a solemn feast [H8799] H3068 unto the LORD H430 thy God H4725 in the place H3068 which the LORD H977 shall choose [H8799] H3068 : because the LORD H430 thy God H1288 shall bless [H8762] H8393 thee in all thine increase H4639 , and in all the works H3027 of thine hands H8056 , therefore thou shalt surely rejoice.

16 H7969 Three H6471 times H8141 in a year H2138 shall all thy males H7200 appear [H8735] H6440 before H3068 the LORD H430 thy God H4725 in the place H977 which he shall choose [H8799] H2282 ; in the feast H4682 of unleavened bread H2282 , and in the feast H7620 of weeks H2282 , and in the feast H5521 of tabernacles H7200 : and they shall not appear [H8735] H6440 before H3068 the LORD H7387 empty:

17 H376 Every man H4979 shall give as he is able H3027 H1293 , according to the blessing H3068 of the LORD H430 thy God H5414 which he hath given [H8804] thee.

18 H8199 Judges [H8802] H7860 and officers [H8802] H5414 shalt thou make [H8799] H8179 thee in all thy gates H3068 , which the LORD H430 thy God H5414 giveth [H8802] H7626 thee, throughout thy tribes H8199 : and they shall judge [H8804] H5971 the people H6664 with just H4941 judgment.

19 H5186 Thou shalt not wrest [H8686] H4941 judgment H5234 ; thou shalt not respect [H8686] H6440 persons H3947 , neither take [H8799] H7810 a gift H7810 : for a gift H5786 doth blind [H8762] H5869 the eyes H2450 of the wise H5557 , and pervert [H8762] H1697 the words H6662 of the righteous.

20 H6664 That which is altogether H6664 just H7291 shalt thou follow [H8799] H2421 , that thou mayest live [H8799] H3423 , and inherit [H8804] H776 the land H3068 which the LORD H430 thy God H5414 giveth [H8802] thee.

ERV⁽ⁱ⁾ 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 thee forth out of Egypt by night. ² And thou shalt sacrifice the passover unto the LORD thy God, of the flock and the herd, in the place which the LORD shall choose to cause his name to dwell there. ³ Thou shalt eat no leavened bread with it; seven days shalt thou eat unleavened bread therewith, even the bread of affliction; for thou camest forth out of the land of Egypt in haste: that thou mayest remember the day when thou camest forth out of the land of Egypt all the days of thy life. ⁴ And there shall be no leaven seen with thee in all thy borders seven days; neither shall any of the flesh, which thou sacrificest the first day at even, remain all night until the morning. ⁵ Thou mayest not sacrifice the passover within any of thy gates, which the LORD thy God giveth thee: ⁶ but at the place which the LORD thy God shall choose to cause his name to dwell in, there thou shalt sacrifice the passover at even, at the going down of the sun, at the season that thou camest forth out of Egypt. ⁷ And thou shalt roast and eat it in the place which the LORD thy God shall choose: and thou shalt turn in the morning, and go unto thy tents. ⁸ Six days thou shalt eat unleavened bread: and on the seventh day shall be a solemn assembly to the LORD thy God; thou shalt do no work [therein]. ⁹ Seven weeks shalt thou number unto thee: from the time thou beginnest to put the sickle to the standing corn shalt thou begin to number seven weeks. ¹⁰ And thou shalt keep the feast of weeks unto the LORD thy God with a tribute of a freewill offering of thine hand, which thou shalt give, according as the LORD thy God blesseth thee: ¹¹ and thou shalt 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 in the midst of thee, in the place which the LORD thy God shall choose to cause his name to dwell there. ¹² And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in Egypt: and thou shalt observe and do these statutes. ¹³ Thou shalt keep the feast of tabernacles seven days, after that thou hast gathered in from thy threshing-floor and from thy winepress: ¹⁴ and thou shalt rejoice in thy feast, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy manservant, and thy maidservant, and the Levite, and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, that are within thy gates. ¹⁵ Seven days shalt thou keep a feast unto the LORD thy God in the place which the LORD shall choose: because the LORD thy God shall bless thee in all thine increase, and in all the work of thine hands, and thou shalt be altogether joyful. 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 hath given thee. ¹⁸ Judges and officers shalt thou make thee in all thy gates, which the LORD thy God giveth thee, according to thy tribes: and they shall judge the people with righteous judgment. ¹⁹ Thou shalt not wrest judgment; thou shalt not respect persons: neither shalt thou take a gift; for a gift doth blind the eyes of the wise, and pervert the words of the righteous. ²⁰ That which is altogether just shalt thou follow, that thou mayest live, and inherit the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee. ²¹ Thou shalt not plant thee an Asherah of any kind of tree beside the altar of the LORD thy God, which thou shalt make thee. ²² Neither shalt thou set thee up a pillar; which the LORD thy God hateth.
