“Observe the month of Abib, and you have made a Passover to your God YHWH, for in the month of Abib your God YHWH has brought you out of Egypt by night;

2 And you will sacrifice a passover to Yahweh God your flock and herd in the place where he will choose Yahweh to cause to dwell name his there.

and you have sacrificed a Passover to your God YHWH, of the flock and of the herd, in the place which YHWH chooses to cause His Name to dwell there.

3 Not you will eat with it leaven seven days you will eat with it unleavened bread bread of affliction for in haste you came out from [the] land of Egypt so that you may remember [the] day of coming out you from [the] land of Egypt all [the] days of life your.

You do not eat any fermented thing with it; [for] seven days you eat unleavened things with it, bread of affliction (for you have come out of the land of Egypt in haste), so that you remember the day of your coming out of the land of Egypt all [the] days of your life;

4 And not it will be seen by you leaven in all territory your seven days and not it will remain overnight any of the meat which you will sacrifice in the evening on the day first to the morning.

and leaven is not seen with you in all your border [for] seven days, and there does not remain [any] of the flesh which you sacrifice at evening on the first day until morning.

5 Not you will be able to sacrifice the passover in one of gates your which Yahweh God your [is] about to give to you.

You are not able to sacrifice the Passover within any of your gates which your God YHWH is giving to you,

6 That except to the place which he will choose Yahweh God your to cause to dwell name his there you will sacrifice the passover in the evening when goes the sun [the] time of coming out you from Egypt.

except at the place which your God YHWH chooses to cause His Name to dwell—there you sacrifice the Passover in the evening, at the going in of the sun, the season of your coming out of Egypt;

7 And you will cook [it] and you will eat [it] in the place which he will choose Yahweh God your it and you will turn in the morning and you will go to tents your.

and you have cooked and eaten in the place on which your God YHWH fixes, and have turned in the morning and gone to your tents;

8 Six days you will eat unleavened bread and [will be] on the day seventh an assembly to Yahweh God your not you will do work.

[for] six days you eat unleavened things, and on the seventh day [is] a restraint to your God YHWH; you do no work.

9 Seven weeks you will count for yourself from when begins a sickle in the standing grain you will begin to count seven weeks.

You number seven weeks for yourself; you begin to number seven weeks from the beginning of the sickle among the standing grain,

10 And you will observe a festival of weeks to Yahweh God your a sufficiency of a freewill offering of hand your which you will give just as he will bless you Yahweh God your.

and you have observed the Celebration of Weeks to your God YHWH, a tribute of a free-will offering of your hand, which you give as your God YHWH blesses you.

11 And you will rejoice before - Yahweh God your you and son your and daughter your and [male] servant your and female servant your and the Levite who [is] in gates your and the sojourner and the fatherless one and the widow who [are] in midst your in the place where he will choose Yahweh God your to cause to dwell name his there.

And you have rejoiced before your God YHWH, you, and your son, and your daughter, and your manservant, and your handmaid, and the Levite who [is] within your gates, and the sojourner, and the fatherless, and the widow, who [are] in your midst, in the place which your God YHWH chooses to cause His Name to dwell there,

12 And you will remember that a slave you were in Egypt and you will take care and you will observe the statutes these.

and you have remembered that you have been a servant in Egypt, and have observed and done these statutes.

13 [the] festival of The booths you will observe yourself seven days when gathering you from threshing floor your and from wine-press your.

You observe the Celebration of Shelters for yourself [for] seven days, in your ingathering of your threshing-floor and of your wine-vat;

14 And you will rejoice at festival your you and son your and daughter your and [male] servant your and female servant your and the Levite and the sojourner and the fatherless one and the widow who [are] in gates your.

and you have rejoiced in your celebration, you, and your son, and your daughter, and your manservant, and your handmaid, and the Levite, and the sojourner, and the fatherless, and the widow, who [are] within your gates.

15 Seven days you will celebrate a festival to Yahweh God your in the place which he will choose Yahweh for he will bless you Yahweh God your in all produce your and in all [the] work of hands your and you will be surely joyful.

[For] seven days you celebrate before your God YHWH in the place which YHWH chooses, for your God YHWH blesses you in all your increase and in every work of your hands, and you have been only rejoicing.

16 Three times - in the year he will appear every male your with [the] presence of - Yahweh God your in the place which he will choose at [the] festival of the unleavened bread and at [the] festival of the weeks and at [the] festival of the booths and not he will appear with [the] presence of Yahweh emptily.

Three times in a year all of your males appear before your God YHWH in the place which He chooses: in the Celebration of Unleavened Things, and in the Celebration of Weeks, and in the Celebration of Shelters; and they do not appear before YHWH empty;

17 Anyone according to [the] gift of hand his according to [the] blessing of Yahweh God your which he has given to you.

each [gives] according to the gift of his hand, according to the blessing of your God YHWH, which He has given to you.

18 Judges and officials you will appoint for yourself in all gates your which Yahweh God your [is] about to give to you for tribes your and they will judge the people judgment of righteousness.

You set for yourself judges and authorities within all your gates which your God YHWH is giving to you, for your tribes; and they have judged the people [with] a righteous judgment.

19 Not you will turn aside justice not you will pay regard to faces and not you will take a bribe for the bribe it makes blind [the] eyes of wise [people] so it may pervert [the] words of righteous [people].

You do not turn aside judgment; you do not discern faces, nor take a bribe, for the bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and perverts the words of the righteous.

20 Righteousness righteousness you will pursue so that you may live and you will take possession of the land which Yahweh God your [is] about to give to you.

Righteousness—you pursue righteousness, so that you live and have possessed the land which your God YHWH is giving to you.

21 Not you will plant for yourself an Asherah pole any tree beside [the] altar of Yahweh God your which you will make for yourself.

You do not plant an Asherah of any trees for yourself near the altar of your God YHWH, which you make for yourself,

22 And not you will set up for yourself a sacred pillar which he hates Yahweh God your.

and you do not raise up any standing image for yourself which your God YHWH is hating.”
