Deuteronomy 16

shamor et-khodesh ha'aviv ve'asita pesakh la-Adonai elohekha ki bekhodesh ha'aviv hotsi'akha Adonai elohekha mimmitsrayim layelah

Observe the month of Abib and offer a passover sacrifice to the ETERNAL your God, for it was in the month of Abib, at night, that the ETERNAL your God freed you from Egypt.

vezavakhta pesakh la-Adonai elohekha tson uvaqar bammaqom asher-yivkhar Adonai leshakken shemo sham

You shall slaughter the passover sacrifice for the ETERNAL your God, from the flock and the herd, in the place where GOD will choose to establish the divine name.

lo-tokhal alayw khamets shivat yamim tokhal-alayw matsot lekhem oni ki vekhippazon yatsata me'erets mitsrayim lema'an tizkor et-yom tsetekha me'erets mitsrayim kol yeme khayyekha

You shall not eat anything leavened with it; for seven days thereafter you shall eat unleavened bread, bread of distress—for you departed from the land of Egypt hurriedly—so that you may remember the day of your departure from the land of Egypt as long as you live.

velo-yera'eh lekha se'or bekhol-gevulkha shivat yamim velo-yalin min-habbasar asher tizbakh ba'erev bayyom harishon labboqer

For seven days no leaven shall be found with you in all your territory, and none of the flesh of what you slaughter on the evening of the first day shall be left until morning.

lo tukhal lizboakh et-happasakh be'akhad she'arekha asher-Adonai elohekha noten lakh

You are not permitted to slaughter the passover sacrifice in any of the settlements that the ETERNAL your God is giving you;

ki im-el-hammaqom asher-yivkhar Adonai elohekha leshakken shemo sham tizbakh et-happesakh ba'arev kevo hashemesh mo'ed tsetekha mimmitsrayim

but at the place where the ETERNAL your God will choose to establish the divine name, there alone shall you slaughter the passover sacrifice, in the evening, at sundown, the time of day when you departed from Egypt.

uvishalta ve'akhalta bammaqom asher yivkhar Adonai elohekha bo ufanita vabboqer vehalakhta le'ohalekha

You shall cook and eat it at the place that the ETERNAL your God will choose; and in the morning you may start back on your journey home.

sheshet yamim tokhal matsot uvayyom hashevi'i atseret la-Adonai elohekha lo ta'aseh melakhah

After eating unleavened bread six days, you shall hold a solemn gathering for the ETERNAL your God on the seventh day: you shall do no work.

shivah shavu'ot tispor-lakh mehakhel khermesh baqqamah takhel lispor shivah shavu'ot

You shall count off seven weeks; start to count the seven weeks when the sickle is first put to the standing grain.

ve'asita khag shavu'ot la-Adonai elohekha missat nidvat yadekha asher titten ka'asher yevarekhkha Adonai elohekha

Then you shall observe the Feast of Weeks for the ETERNAL your God, offering your freewill contribution according as the ETERNAL your God has blessed you.

vesamakhta lifne Adonai elohekha attah uvinkha uvittekha ve'avdekha va'amatekha vehallevi asher bisharekha vehagger vehayyatom veha'almanah asher beqirbekha bammaqom asher yivkhar Adonai elohekha leshakken shemo sham

You shall rejoice before the ETERNAL your God with your son and daughter, your male and female slave, the Levite in your communities, and the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow in your midst, at the place where the ETERNAL your God will choose to establish the divine name.

vezakharta ki-eved hayita bemitsrayim veshamarta ve'asita et-hakhuqqim ha'elleh

Bear in mind that you were slaves in Egypt, and take care to obey these laws.

khag hassukkot ta'aseh lekha shivat yamim be'ospekha miggornekha umiyyiqvekha

After the ingathering from your threshing floor and your vat, you shall hold the Feast of Booths for seven days.

vesamakhta bekhaggekha attah uvinkha uvittekha ve'avdekha va'amatekha vehallevi vehagger vehayyatom veha'almanah asher bisharekha

You shall rejoice in your festival, with your son and daughter, your male and female slave, the Levite, the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow in your communities.

shivat yamim takhog la-Adonai elohekha bammaqom asher-yivkhar Adonai ki yevarekhkha Adonai elohekha bekhol tevu'atekha uvekhol ma'aseh yadekha vehayita akh sameakh

You shall hold a festival for the ETERNAL your God seven days, in the place that GOD will choose; for the ETERNAL your God will bless all your crops and all your undertakings, and you shall have nothing but joy.

shalosh pe'amim bashanah yera'eh khol-zekhurekha et-pene Adonai elohekha bammaqom asher yivkhar bekhag hammatsot uvekhag hashavu'ot uvekhag hassukkot velo yera'eh et-pene Adonai reqam

Three times a year—on the Feast of Unleavened Bread, on the Feast of Weeks, and on the Feast of Booths—all your males shall appear before the ETERNAL your God in the place that [God] will choose. They shall not appear before GOD empty-handed,

ish kemattenat yado kevirkat Adonai elohekha asher natan-lakh

but each with his own gift, according to the blessing that the ETERNAL your God has bestowed upon you.

shofetim veshoterim titten-lekha bekhol-she'arekha asher Adonai elohekha noten lekha lishvatekha veshafetu et-ha'am mishpat-tsedeq

You shall appoint magistrates and officials for your tribes, in all the settlements that the ETERNAL your God is giving you, and they shall govern the people with due justice.

lo-tatteh mishpat lo takkir panim velo-tiqqakh shokhad ki hashokhad ye'avver ene khakhamim visallef divre tsaddiqim

You shall not judge unfairly: you shall show no partiality; you shall not take bribes, for bribes blind the eyes of the discerning and upset the plea of the just.

tsedeq tsedeq tirdof lema'an tikhyeh veyarashta et-ha'arets asher-Adonai elohekha noten lakh

Justice, justice shall you pursue, that you may thrive and occupy the land that the ETERNAL your God is giving you.

lo-titta lekha asherah kol-ets etsel mizbakh Adonai elohekha asher ta'aseh-llakh

You shall not set up a sacred post—any kind of pole beside the altar of the ETERNAL your God that you may make—

velo-taqim lekha matsevah asher sane Adonai elohekha

or erect a stone pillar; for such the ETERNAL your God detests.
