Chapter 16 |
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 | Thou shalt 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 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 leavened bread seen with thee in all thy
coast seven days; neither shall there any thing of the flesh, which
thou sacrificedst 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 place his
name 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: begin to number the seven weeks from such time as thou
beginnest to put the sickle to the corn. |
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
unto the LORD thy God, according as the LORD thy God hath blessed
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 among you,
in the place which the LORD thy God hath chosen to place his name
there. |
12 | And thou shalt remember that thou wast
a bondman in Egypt: and thou shalt observe and do these statutes. |
13 | Thou shalt observe the feast of
tabernacles seven days, after that thou hast gathered in thy corn
and thy wine: |
14 |
And thou shalt 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 shalt thou keep a solemn 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 works of
thine hands, therefore thou shalt 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 hath given thee. |
18 |
1Judges and officers shalt thou make thee in all thy gates,
which the LORD thy God giveth thee, throughout thy tribes: and they
shall judge the people with just judgment.

2nd Chron 19:5,
Matt 5:22
|
19 |
Thou shalt not wrest judgment; thou shalt not respect persons, neither 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 a grove of
any trees near unto the altar of the LORD thy God, which thou shalt
make thee. |
22 | Neither shalt
thou set thee up any image; which the LORD thy God hateth. |
