The Passover Reviewed(A)
16 “Observe the (B)month of Abib, and keep the Passover to the Lord your God, for (C)in the month of Abib the Lord your God brought you out of Egypt by night. 2 Therefore you shall sacrifice the Passover to the Lord your God, from the flock and (D)the herd, in the (E)place where the Lord chooses to put His name. 3 You shall eat no leavened bread with it; (F)seven days you shall eat unleavened bread with it, that is, the bread of affliction (for you came out of the land of Egypt in haste), that you may (G)remember the day in which you came out of the land of Egypt all the days of your life. 4 (H)And no leaven shall be seen among you in all your territory for seven days, nor shall any of the meat which you sacrifice the first day at twilight remain overnight until (I)morning.
5 “You may not sacrifice the Passover within any of your gates which the Lord your God gives you; 6 but at the place where the Lord your God chooses to make His name abide, there you shall sacrifice the Passover (J)at twilight, at the going down of the sun, at the time you came out of Egypt. 7 And you shall roast and eat it (K)in the place which the Lord your God chooses, and in the morning you shall turn and go to your tents. 8 Six days you shall eat unleavened bread, and (L)on the seventh day there shall be a [a]sacred assembly to the Lord your God. You shall do no work on it.
The Feast of Weeks Reviewed(M)
9 “You shall count seven weeks for yourself; begin to count the seven weeks from the time you begin to put the sickle to the grain. 10 Then you shall keep the (N)Feast of Weeks to the Lord your God with the tribute of a freewill offering from your hand, which you shall give (O)as the Lord your God blesses you. 11 (P)You shall rejoice before the Lord your God, you and your son and your daughter, your male servant and your female servant, the Levite who is within your gates, the stranger and the fatherless and the widow who are among you, at the place where the Lord your God chooses to make His name abide. 12 (Q)And you shall remember that you were a slave in Egypt, and you shall be careful to observe these statutes.
The Feast of Tabernacles Reviewed(R)
13 (S)“You shall observe the Feast of Tabernacles seven days, when you have gathered from your threshing floor and from your winepress. 14 And (T)you shall rejoice in your feast, you and your son and your daughter, your male servant and your female servant and the Levite, the stranger and the fatherless and the widow, who are within your [b]gates. 15 (U)Seven days you shall keep a sacred feast to the Lord your God in the place which the Lord chooses, because the Lord your God will bless you in all your produce and in all the work of your hands, so that you surely rejoice.
16 (V)“Three times a year all your males shall appear before the Lord your God in the place which He chooses: at the Feast of Unleavened Bread, at the Feast of Weeks, and at the Feast of Tabernacles; and (W)they shall not appear before the Lord empty-handed. 17 Every man shall give as he is able, (X)according to the blessing of the Lord your God which He has given you.
Justice Must Be Administered
18 “You shall appoint (Y)judges and officers in all your [c]gates, which the Lord your God gives you, according to your tribes, and they shall judge the people with just judgment. 19 (Z)You shall not pervert justice; (AA)you shall not [d]show partiality, (AB)nor take a bribe, for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and [e]twists the words of the righteous. 20 You shall follow what is altogether just, that you may (AC)live and inherit the land which the Lord your God is giving you.
21 (AD)“You shall not plant for yourself any tree, as a [f]wooden image, near the altar which you build for yourself to the Lord your God. 22 (AE)You shall not set up a sacred pillar, which the Lord your God hates.

Fiesta de la Pascua(A)
16 »Aparta el mes de aviv para celebrar la Pascua del Señor tu Dios, porque fue en una noche del mes de aviv cuando el Señor tu Dios te sacó de Egipto. 2 En la Pascua del Señor tu Dios sacrificarás de tus vacas y ovejas, en el lugar donde el Señor decida habitar. 3 No comerás la Pascua con pan leudado, sino que durante siete días comerás pan sin levadura, pan de aflicción, pues de Egipto saliste de prisa. Lo harás así para que toda tu vida te acuerdes del día en que saliste de Egipto. 4 Durante siete días no habrá levadura en todo el país. De la carne que sacrifiques al atardecer del primer día, no quedará nada para la mañana siguiente.
5 »No ofrecerás el sacrificio de la Pascua en ninguna de las otras ciudades que te dé el Señor tu Dios. 6 Lo ofrecerás solamente en el lugar donde el Señor decida habitar. Allí ofrecerás el sacrificio de la Pascua por la tarde, al ponerse el sol, que fue la hora en que saliste de Egipto. 7 Cocerás y comerás el sacrificio de la Pascua en el lugar que el Señor tu Dios haya elegido, y a la mañana siguiente regresarás a tu casa. 8 Durante seis días comerás pan sin levadura, y el séptimo día convocarás una asamblea solemne para el Señor tu Dios. Ese día no trabajarás.
Fiesta de las Semanas(B)
9 »Contarás siete semanas a partir del día en que comience la cosecha del trigo. 10 Entonces celebrarás en honor del Señor tu Dios la fiesta solemne de las Semanas, en la que presentarás ofrendas voluntarias en proporción a las bendiciones que el Señor tu Dios te haya dado. 11 Y te alegrarás en presencia del Señor tu Dios en el lugar donde él decida habitar, junto con tus hijos y tus hijas, tus esclavos y tus esclavas, los levitas de tus ciudades, los extranjeros, y los huérfanos y las viudas que vivan en medio de ti. 12 Recuerda que fuiste esclavo en Egipto; cumple, pues, fielmente estos preceptos.
Fiesta de las Enramadas(C)
13 »Al terminar la vendimia y la cosecha del trigo, celebrarás durante siete días la fiesta de las Enramadas. 14 Te alegrarás en la fiesta junto con tus hijos y tus hijas, tus esclavos y tus esclavas, y los levitas, extranjeros, huérfanos y viudas que vivan en tus ciudades. 15 Durante siete días celebrarás esta fiesta en honor al Señor tu Dios, en el lugar que él elija, pues el Señor tu Dios bendecirá toda tu cosecha y todo el trabajo de tus manos. Y tu alegría será completa.
16 »Tres veces al año todos tus varones se presentarán ante el Señor tu Dios, en el lugar que él elija, para celebrar las fiestas de los Panes sin levadura, de las Semanas y de las Enramadas. Nadie se presentará ante el Señor con las manos vacías. 17 Cada uno llevará ofrendas, según lo haya bendecido el Señor tu Dios.
Impartición de justicia
18 »Nombrarás jueces y funcionarios que juzguen con justicia al pueblo, en cada una de las ciudades que el Señor tu Dios entregará a tus tribus. 19 No pervertirás la justicia ni actuarás con parcialidad. No aceptarás soborno, pues el soborno nubla los ojos del sabio y tuerce las palabras del justo. 20 Seguirás la justicia y solamente la justicia, para que puedas vivir y poseer la tierra que te da el Señor tu Dios.
Exhortación contra la idolatría
21 »No levantarás ninguna imagen de la diosa Aserá junto al altar que edifiques para el Señor tu Dios; 22 tampoco erigirás piedras sagradas, porque el Señor tu Dios las aborrece.

The Passover(A)
16 Observe the month of Aviv(B) and celebrate the Passover(C) of the Lord your God, because in the month of Aviv he brought you out of Egypt by night. 2 Sacrifice as the Passover to the Lord your God an animal from your flock or herd at the place the Lord will choose as a dwelling for his Name.(D) 3 Do not eat it with bread made with yeast, but for seven days eat unleavened bread, the bread of affliction,(E) because you left Egypt in haste(F)—so that all the days of your life you may remember the time of your departure from Egypt.(G) 4 Let no yeast be found in your possession in all your land for seven days. Do not let any of the meat you sacrifice on the evening(H) of the first day remain until morning.(I)
5 You must not sacrifice the Passover in any town the Lord your God gives you 6 except in the place he will choose as a dwelling for his Name. There you must sacrifice the Passover in the evening, when the sun goes down, on the anniversary[a](J) of your departure from Egypt. 7 Roast(K) it and eat it at the place the Lord your God will choose. Then in the morning return to your tents. 8 For six days eat unleavened bread and on the seventh day hold an assembly(L) to the Lord your God and do no work.(M)
The Festival of Weeks(N)
9 Count off seven weeks(O) from the time you begin to put the sickle to the standing grain.(P) 10 Then celebrate the Festival of Weeks to the Lord your God by giving a freewill offering in proportion to the blessings the Lord your God has given you. 11 And rejoice(Q) before the Lord your God at the place he will choose as a dwelling for his Name(R)—you, your sons and daughters, your male and female servants, the Levites(S) in your towns, and the foreigners,(T) the fatherless and the widows living among you.(U) 12 Remember that you were slaves in Egypt,(V) and follow carefully these decrees.
The Festival of Tabernacles(W)
13 Celebrate the Festival of Tabernacles for seven days after you have gathered the produce of your threshing floor(X) and your winepress.(Y) 14 Be joyful(Z) at your festival—you, your sons and daughters, your male and female servants, and the Levites, the foreigners, the fatherless and the widows who live in your towns. 15 For seven days celebrate the festival to the Lord your God at the place the Lord will choose. For the Lord your God will bless you in all your harvest and in all the work of your hands, and your joy(AA) will be complete.
16 Three times a year all your men must appear(AB) before the Lord your God at the place he will choose: at the Festival of Unleavened Bread,(AC) the Festival of Weeks and the Festival of Tabernacles.(AD) No one should appear before the Lord empty-handed:(AE) 17 Each of you must bring a gift in proportion to the way the Lord your God has blessed you.
Judges
18 Appoint judges(AF) and officials for each of your tribes in every town the Lord your God is giving you, and they shall judge the people fairly.(AG) 19 Do not pervert justice(AH) or show partiality.(AI) Do not accept a bribe,(AJ) for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and twists the words of the innocent. 20 Follow justice and justice alone, so that you may live and possess the land the Lord your God is giving you.
Worshiping Other Gods
21 Do not set up any wooden Asherah pole(AK) beside the altar you build to the Lord your God,(AL) 22 and do not erect a sacred stone,(AM) for these the Lord your God hates.
