¹Keep the month of the ear and make a passover to Yahweh your God, for in the month of the ear, Yahweh your God brought you out of Egypt by night.

²And you will sacrifice a passover to Yahweh your God, flock and cattle, in the place where Yahweh will choose to make his name dwell there.

³You will not eat leaven with it; seven days you will eat unleavened bread with it, the food of affliction, for in haste you came out of the land of Egypt, so that you remember the day of your coming out of the land of Egypt all the days of your life.

⁴And no leaven will be seen with you in all your territory for seven days, and none of the flesh that you sacrifice in the evening on the first day will pass the night until morning.

⁵You will not be able to sacrifice the passover in one of your gates that Yahweh your God is giving you,

⁶but only at the place that Yahweh your God will choose to make his name dwell there, you will sacrifice the passover in the evening, as the sun goes in, the appointed time of your coming out from Egypt.

⁷You will cook it and eat it in the place where Yahweh your God will choose, and in the morning you will turn and go to your tents.

⁸Six days you will eat unleavened bread, and on the seventh day there is an assembly to Yahweh your God; you will not do work.

⁹Seven weeks you will count for yourself; from the beginning of the sickle on the standing grain you will begin to count seven weeks.

¹⁰And you will observe the festival of weeks for Yahweh your God with a sufficiency of the freewill offering of your hand, which you will give, just as Yahweh your God blesses you.

¹¹And you will rejoice before the face of Yahweh your God, you and your son and your daughter and your slave and your maid-servant and the Levite who is in your gates, and the sojourner and the fatherless and the widow who are in your midst, in the place that Yahweh your God will choose to make his name dwell there.

¹²And you will remember that you were a slave in Egypt, and you will keep and do these statutes.

¹³The festival of the shelters you will observe for yourself seven days, when you gather in from your threshing-floor and from your wine-press.

¹⁴And you will rejoice in your festival, you and your son and your daughter and your slave and your maid-servant and the Levite and the sojourner and the fatherless and the widow who are in your gates.

¹⁵Seven days you will celebrate a festival to Yahweh your God in the place that Yahweh will choose, for Yahweh your God will bless you in all your produce and in all the work of your hands, and you will be nothing but joyful.

¹⁶Three times in the year all your males will appear before the face of Yahweh your God in the place that he will choose: at the festival of the unleavened bread, and at the festival of the weeks, and at the festival of the shelters; and they will not appear before the face of Yahweh empty-handed.

¹⁷Each man according to the gift of his hand, according to the blessing of Yahweh your God that he has given you.

¹⁸You will set judges and officials for yourself in all your gates that Yahweh your God is giving you, for your tribes; and they will judge the people with the justice of righteousness.

¹⁹You will not turn aside justice; you will not pay regard to faces; and you will not take a bribe, for the bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and twists the words of the righteous.

²⁰Righteousness, righteousness you must pursue, so that you may live and take possession of the land that Yahweh your God is giving you.

²¹You must not plant for yourself an Asherah pole, of any wood, at the side of the altar of Yahweh your God that you make for yourself.

²²And you must not set up for yourself a pillar, which Yahweh your God hates.
