Exodus 23:14-19
New American Standard Bible
Three National Feasts
14 “(A)Three times a year you shall celebrate a feast to Me. 15 You shall keep (B)the Feast of Unleavened Bread; for seven days you are to eat unleavened bread, as I commanded you, at the appointed time in the (C)month of Abib, for in [a]that month you came out of Egypt. And [b](D)no one is to appear before Me empty-handed. 16 Also you shall keep (E)the Feast of the Harvest of the first fruits of your labors from what you sow in the field; also the Feast of the Ingathering at the end of the year (F)when you gather in the fruit of your labors from the field. 17 (G)Three times a year all your males shall appear before the Lord [c]God.
18 “(H)You shall not offer the blood of My sacrifice with leavened bread; (I)nor is the fat of My [d]feast to remain overnight until morning.
19 “You shall bring (J)the choice first fruits of your soil into the house of the Lord your God.
“(K)You are not to boil a young goat in the milk of its mother.
