| 2Then sacrifice sheep and cattle for the Passover to the LORD your God at the place where the LORD your God will choose to establish his name. | 2And you shall offer the Passover sacrifice to the LORD your God, from the flock or the herd, at the place that the LORD will choose, to make his name dwell there. |
| 3You must not eat any yeast with it. Instead, for seven days eat bread without yeast—the bread of affliction—because you left the land of Egypt in haste. Remember the day you went out of the land of Egypt for the rest of your lives. | 3You shall eat no leavened bread with it. Seven days you shall eat it with unleavened bread, the bread of affliction—for you came out of the land of Egypt in haste—that all the days of your life you may remember the day when you came out of the land of Egypt. |
| 4Yeast is not to be seen in any of your territories for seven days.

| 5"You must not sacrifice the Passover in just any of your cities that the LORD your God is about to give you. | 5You may not offer the Passover sacrifice within any of your towns that the LORD your God is giving you, |

| 7Boil and eat the Passover meal at the place that the LORD your God will choose. In the morning you may go back to your tents. | 7And you shall cook it and eat it at the place that the LORD your God will choose. And in the morning you shall turn and go to your tents. |
| 8Eat bread without yeast for six days. Then on the seventh day, hold an assembly to the LORD your God. Don't do any work." | 8For six days you shall eat unleavened bread, and on the seventh day there shall be a solemn assembly to the LORD your God. You shall do no work on it. |

| 13"Celebrate the Festival of Tents for seven days after you harvest from your threshing floor and your wine press. | 13“You shall keep the Feast of Booths seven days, when you have gathered in the produce from your threshing floor and your winepress. |
| 14Rejoice in your festival—you, your son, your daughter, your male and female slaves, the descendants of Levi, foreigners, orphans, and widows who live in your cities. | 14You shall rejoice in your feast, you and your son and your daughter, your male servant and your female servant, the Levite, the sojourner, the fatherless, and the widow who are within your towns. |
| 15For seven days you are to celebrate in the presence of the LORD your God at the place where the LORD will choose; for the LORD your God will bless you in all your harvest and in everything you do, and your joy will be complete. | 15For seven days you shall keep the feast to the LORD your God at the place that the LORD will choose, because the LORD your God will bless you in all your produce and in all the work of your hands, so that you will be altogether joyful. |
| 16"Every male must appear in the presence of the LORD your God three times a year at the place where he will choose: for the Festival of Unleavened Bread, the Festival of Seven Weeks, and the Festival of Tents.

| 19You must not twist justice, show favoritism, or take bribes, because a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and subverts the speech of the righteous. | 19You shall not pervert justice. You shall not show partiality, and you shall not accept a bribe, for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and subverts the cause of the righteous. |
