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.
逾越節
1「你們要在亞筆月16·1 亞筆月是猶太曆的第一個月，約在陽曆三月中旬到四月中旬，相當於中國的春分時節。為你們的上帝耶和華守逾越節，因為祂在這個月的一個晚上帶你們出了埃及。 2你們要在你們的上帝耶和華為祂的名選定的居所，把牛羊作為逾越節的祭牲獻給祂。 3吃祭牲的時候，不可吃有酵的餅，七天之內要吃無酵餅，即憶苦餅，以便你們一生謹記離開埃及的日子，因為當時你們離開得很倉促。 4那七天之內，你們境內不可有酵母。第一天傍晚獻的祭肉不可留到早晨。 5在你們的上帝耶和華將要賜給你們的各城中，你們不可獻逾越節的祭牲， 6而是要在傍晚日落時分，即你們離開埃及的時候，到你們的上帝耶和華為祂的名選定的居所獻逾越節的祭牲。 7你們要在那裡煮祭肉吃，第二天早晨可以返回自己的帳篷。 8在隨後的六天之內，你們要吃無酵餅。第七天，要舉行莊嚴的聚會，敬拜你們的上帝耶和華。那一天你們不可做工。
七七收穫節
9「從收割那天開始算起，你們要算出七週的時間。 10七週後，要為你們的上帝耶和華守七七收穫節16·10 「七七收穫節」後稱為五旬節。。那時，你們要按照你們的上帝耶和華所賜的福分，甘心樂意地獻上祭物。 11你們要和兒女、僕婢、同城的利未人、寄居者及孤兒寡婦，在你們的上帝耶和華為祂的名選定的居所，在祂面前一起歡喜快樂。 12你們要記住自己曾在埃及做過奴隸，因此要謹遵這些律例。
住棚節
13「在收藏好穀物和新酒後，你們要守七天的住棚節。 14住棚節期間，你們要和兒女、僕婢、同城的利未人、寄居者及孤兒寡婦一起歡慶。 15要在你們的上帝耶和華選定的地方，為祂守住棚節七天；要滿心歡喜，因為你們的上帝耶和華賜福你們，使你們的出產豐富、凡事順利。
16「你們所有男子要每年三次，即在除酵節、七七收穫節和住棚節，在你們的上帝耶和華指定的地方朝見祂。你們不可空手朝見耶和華， 17各人要按祂賜的福分，盡自己的能力獻上禮物。
委任審判官
18「要在你們的上帝耶和華將要賜給你們的各城中，按支派委任審判官及其他官員。官員們要秉公審判， 19不可徇私枉法、偏心待人，收受賄賂，因為賄賂蒙蔽智者的眼睛，使正直人顛倒是非。 20你們要追求公正公義，以便存活，承受你們的上帝耶和華賜給你們的土地。
不可拜偶像
21「在為你們的上帝耶和華建造的祭壇旁，你們不可豎立亞舍拉木神像， 22也不可豎立神柱，因為這些是你們的上帝耶和華所憎惡的。
