DEU 16:1–16:22 ©

The Book of Deuteronomy 16

16Each year honor Yahweh our God in the early spring with the Passover Celebration. It was on a night in the early spring that Yahweh rescued your families from Egypt. 2In order to celebrate, go to the place that Yahweh will choose for you to worship him. There, sacrifice one young animal from your sheep or cattle. 3When you eat the Passover meal, the bread that you eat must not have yeast in it. You must eat this kind of bread, which will be called the bread of suffering, for seven days. This is to help you to always remember that your families were suffering in Egypt because they were slaves. When they left Egypt, they left very quickly. They did not have time to put in yeast and wait for the dough to rise. 4During the Passover Celebration, which will last for seven days, you must not have any yeast in any house in your land. Furthermore, the meat of the animal that you sacrifice on the evening of the first day of the Passover Festival must be eaten during that night. Do not allow any of it to remain until the next day.

5-6 5-6You must offer the Passover sacrifice only at the place that he chooses for you to worship him. Do not offer that sacrifice in any other town in the land that Yahweh is giving to you. Offer that sacrifice when the sun is setting, at the same time of day that your ancestors started to leave Egypt. 7Boil the meat and eat it at the place of worship that Yahweh our God chooses. The next morning, you may return to your tents. 8Each day for six days the bread that you eat must have no yeast in it. On the seventh day, you must all gather to worship Yahweh our God. You must not do any work on that day.

9Each year, from the day that you start to harvest your grain, count seven weeks. 10Then, to honor Yahweh our God, celebrate the Celebration of Weeks. Do that by bringing to him an offering of grain. Yahweh has blessed you by causing it to grow in your fields during that year. If you had a big harvest, bring a big offering. If you had a small harvest, bring a small offering. 11Each married couple should be joyful in the presence of Yahweh. Their children, their servants, the descendants of Levi who are in that town, and the foreigners, orphans, and widows who are living among you, should also be joyful. Bring those offerings to the place of worship that Yahweh will choose.

12When you celebrate these festivals by obeying these commands, remember that your families were slaves in Egypt.

13Each year, after you have threshed all your grain and pressed the juice from all your grapes, you must celebrate the Festival of Shelters for seven days. 14Each married couple along with their children, their servants, the descendants of Levi who are in that town, and the foreigners, orphans, and widows who are living among you, should be joyful in the presence of Yahweh. 15Honor Yahweh our God by celebrating this festival for seven days in the place that he chooses for you to worship him. You should all be joyful, because Yahweh will have blessed your harvest and all the other work that you have done.

16So, each year all of you Israelite men must gather to worship Yahweh our God at the place that he will choose, to celebrate three festivals: The Festival of Unleavened Bread, the Celebration of Weeks, and the Festival of Shelters. No one should come before Yahweh without an offering. 17The offerings should be in proportion to the blessings that Yahweh has given you during that year.

18Appoint judges and other officials throughout your tribes, in all the towns in the land that Yahweh our God is giving to you. They must judge people fairly. 19They must not judge unjustly. They must not favor one person more than another. The judges must not accept bribes. If a judge accepts a bribe, even if he is wise and honest, it will be very difficult for him to judge fairly. He will do what the person who gave him the bribe wants him to do. 20You must be completely fair and just, in order that you may live long enough to occupy the land that Yahweh our God is giving to you.

21When you make an altar to worship Yahweh our God, do not put next to it any wooden pole that represents the goddess Asherah. 22And do not set up any stone pillar to worship any idol, because Yahweh hates them.
