The Passover
1Observe the month of Aviv and celebrate the Passover of the Lord your God, because in the month of Aviv he brought you out of Egypt by night. 2Sacrifice 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. 3Do not eat it with bread made with yeast, but for seven days eat unleavened bread, the bread of affliction, because you left Egypt in haste—so that all the days of your life you may remember the time of your departure from Egypt. 4Let 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 of the first day remain until morning.
5You must not sacrifice the Passover in any town the Lord your God gives you 6except 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 anniversary16:6 Or down, at the time of day of your departure from Egypt. 7Roast it and eat it at the place the Lord your God will choose. Then in the morning return to your tents. 8For six days eat unleavened bread and on the seventh day hold an assembly to the Lord your God and do no work.
The Festival of Weeks
9Count off seven weeks from the time you begin to put the sickle to the standing grain. 10Then 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. 11And rejoice before the Lord your God at the place he will choose as a dwelling for his Name—you, your sons and daughters, your male and female servants, the Levites in your towns, and the foreigners, the fatherless and the widows living among you. 12Remember that you were slaves in Egypt, and follow carefully these decrees.
The Festival of Tabernacles
13Celebrate the Festival of Tabernacles for seven days after you have gathered the produce of your threshing floor and your winepress. 14Be joyful 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. 15For 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 will be complete.
16Three times a year all your men must appear before the Lord your God at the place he will choose: at the Festival of Unleavened Bread, the Festival of Weeks and the Festival of Tabernacles. No one should appear before the Lord empty-handed: 17Each of you must bring a gift in proportion to the way the Lord your God has blessed you.
Judges
18Appoint judges and officials for each of your tribes in every town the Lord your God is giving you, and they shall judge the people fairly. 19Do not pervert justice or show partiality. Do not accept a bribe, for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and twists the words of the innocent. 20Follow justice and justice alone, so that you may live and possess the land the Lord your God is giving you.
Worshiping Other Gods
21Do not set up any wooden Asherah pole beside the altar you build to the Lord your God, 22and do not erect a sacred stone, for these the Lord your God hates.
逾越节
1“你们要在亚笔月16:1 亚笔月是犹太历的第一个月，约在阳历三月中旬到四月中旬，相当于中国的春分时节。为你们的上帝耶和华守逾越节，因为祂在这个月的一个晚上带领你们离开了埃及。 2你们要在你们的上帝耶和华选定的敬拜场所，把牛羊作为逾越节的祭牲献给祂。 3吃祭牲的时候，不可吃有酵的饼，七天之内要吃无酵饼，即忆苦饼，以便你们一生谨记离开埃及的日子，因为当时你们离开得很仓促。 4那七天之内，你们境内不可有酵母。第一天傍晚献的祭肉不可留到第二天早晨。 5在你们的上帝耶和华将要赐给你们的各城中，你们不可随便献逾越节的祭牲， 6而是要在傍晚日落时分，即你们离开埃及的时候，到你们的上帝耶和华选定的敬拜场所献逾越节的祭牲。 7你们要在那里煮祭肉吃，第二天早晨可以返回自己的帐篷。 8在随后的六天之内，你们要吃无酵饼。第七天，要举行庄严的聚会，敬拜你们的上帝耶和华。那一天你们不可做工。
七七收获节
9“从收割那天开始算起，你们要算出七周的时间。 10七周后，要为你们的上帝耶和华守七七收获节16:10 “七七收获节”后称为五旬节。。那时，你们要按照你们的上帝耶和华所赐的福分，甘心乐意地献上祭物。 11你们要和儿女、仆婢、同城的利未人、寄居者及孤儿寡妇在你们的上帝耶和华选定的敬拜场所，在祂面前一起欢喜快乐。 12你们要记住自己曾在埃及做过奴隶，因此要谨遵这些律例。
住棚节
13“在收藏好谷物和新酒后，你们要守七天的住棚节。 14住棚节期间，你们要和儿女、仆婢、同城的利未人、寄居者及孤儿寡妇一起欢庆。 15要在你们的上帝耶和华选定的地方，为祂守住棚节七天；要满心欢喜，因为你们的上帝耶和华赐福你们，使你们的出产丰富、凡事顺利。
16“你们所有男子要每年三次，即在无酵节、七七收获节和住棚节，在你们的上帝耶和华指定的地方朝见祂。你们不可空手朝见， 17各人要按祂赐的福分，尽自己的能力献上礼物。
委任审判官
18“要在你们的上帝耶和华将要赐给你们的各城中，按支派委任审判官及其他官员。官员们要秉公审判， 19不可徇私枉法、偏心待人，收受贿赂，因为贿赂能蒙蔽智者的眼睛，使正直人颠倒是非。 20你们要追求公正公义，以便可以存活，承受你们的上帝耶和华将要赐给你们的土地。
不可拜偶像
21“在为你们的上帝耶和华建造的祭坛旁，你们不可竖立亚舍拉木神像， 22也不可竖立神柱，因为这些是你们的上帝耶和华所憎恶的。
