Exodus 23:14-19
1599 Geneva Bible
14 ¶ Three times shalt thou keep a feast unto me in the year.
15 Thou (A)shalt keep the feast of [a]unleavened bread: thou shalt eat unleavened bread seven days, as I commanded thee, in the season of the month of Abib: for in it thou camest out of Egypt: and (B)none shall appear before me empty.
16 The [b]feast also of the harvest of the first fruits of thy labors, which thou hast sown in the field: and the [c]feast of gathering fruits in the end of the year, when thou hast gathered in thy labors out of the field.
17 These three times in the year shall all thy men children appear before the Lord Jehovah.
18 Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with [d]leavened bread: neither shall the fat of my sacrifice remain until the morning.
19 (C) The first of the firstfruits of thy land, thou shalt bring into the house of the Lord thy God: yet shalt thou not seethe a kid in his [e]mother’s milk.
