Exodus 23:14-19

International Children’s Bible

Three Yearly Feasts

¹⁴ “Three times each year you must hold a feast to honor me. ¹⁵ You must celebrate the Feast of Unleavened Bread. Do this in the way I commanded you. For seven days you must eat bread that is made without yeast. You must do this at the set time during the month of Abib. This is the month when you came out of Egypt. No one is to come to worship me without bringing an offering.

¹⁶ “You must celebrate the Feast of Harvest. Offer to God the first things you harvest. These are from the crops you planted in your fields.

“You must celebrate the Feast of Tents in the fall. Do this when you gather all the crops from your fields.

¹⁷ “So three times during every year all men must come to worship the Lord God.

¹⁸ “You must not offer animal blood along with anything that has yeast in it.

“You must not save any of the fat from the sacrifice for the next day.

¹⁹ “You must bring the best of the firstfruits of your land. Bring them to the Holy Tent^[a] of the Lord your God.

“You must not cook a young goat in its mother’s milk.
