18 (A)“You shall keep the Feast of Unleavened Bread. Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread, as I commanded you, at the time appointed in (B)the month Abib, for in the month Abib you came out from Egypt. 19 (C)All that open the womb are mine, all your male[a] livestock, the firstborn of cow and sheep. 20 The (D)firstborn of a donkey you shall redeem with a lamb, or if you will not redeem it you shall break its neck. All the firstborn of your sons you shall redeem. And (E)none shall appear before me empty-handed.

21 (F)“Six days you shall work, but on the seventh day you shall rest. In plowing time and in harvest you shall rest. 22 (G)You shall observe the Feast of Weeks, the firstfruits of wheat harvest, and the Feast of Ingathering at the year's end. 23 (H)Three times in the year shall all your males appear before the Lord God, the God of Israel.
