1 Observe the month of Abib, and keep the passover unto the LORD thy God: for in the month of Abib the LORD thy God brought thee forth out of Egypt by night. 2 Thou shalt therefore sacrifice the passover unto the LORD thy God, of the flock and the herd, in the place which the LORD shall choose to place his name there. 3 Thou shalt eat no leavened bread with it; seven days shalt thou eat unleavened bread therewith, even the bread of affliction; for thou camest forth out of the land of Egypt in haste: that thou mayest remember the day when thou camest forth out of the land of Egypt all the days of thy life. 4 And there shall be no leavened bread seen with thee in all thy coast seven days; neither shall there any thing of the flesh, which thou sacrificedst the first day at even, remain all night until the morning. 5 Thou mayest not sacrifice the passover within any of thy gates, which the LORD thy God giveth thee: 6 But at the place which the LORD thy God shall choose to place his name in, there thou shalt sacrifice the passover at even, at the going down of the sun, at the season that thou camest forth out of Egypt. 7 And thou shalt roast and eat it in the place which the LORD thy God shall choose: and thou shalt turn in the morning, and go unto thy tents. 8 Six days thou shalt eat unleavened bread: and on the seventh day shall be a solemn assembly to the LORD thy God: thou shalt do no work therein .
9 ¶ Seven weeks shalt thou number unto thee: begin to number the seven weeks from such time as thou beginnest to put the sickle to the corn. 10 And thou shalt keep the feast of weeks unto the LORD thy God with a tribute of a freewill offering of thine hand, which thou shalt give unto the Lord thy God , according as the LORD thy God hath blessed thee: 11 And thou shalt rejoice before the LORD thy God, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy manservant, and thy maidservant, and the Levite that is within thy gates, and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, that are among you, in the place which the LORD thy God hath chosen to place his name there. 12 And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in Egypt: and thou shalt observe and do these statutes.
13 ¶ Thou shalt observe the feast of tabernacles seven days, after that thou hast gathered in thy corn and thy wine: 14 And thou shalt rejoice in thy feast, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy manservant, and thy maidservant, and the Levite, the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, that are within thy gates. 15 Seven days shalt thou keep a solemn feast unto the LORD thy God in the place which the LORD shall choose: because the LORD thy God shall bless thee in all thine increase, and in all the works of thine hands, therefore thou shalt surely rejoice.
16 ¶ Three times in a year shall all thy males appear before the LORD thy God in the place which he shall choose; in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tabernacles: and they shall not appear before the LORD empty: 17 Every man shall give as he is able, according to the blessing of the LORD thy God which he hath given thee.
18 ¶ Judges and officers shalt thou make thee in all thy gates, which the LORD thy God giveth thee, throughout thy tribes: and they shall judge the people with just judgment. 19 Thou shalt not wrest judgment; thou shalt not respect persons, neither take a gift: for a gift doth blind the eyes of the wise, and pervert the words of the righteous. 20 That which is altogether just shalt thou follow, that thou mayest live, and inherit the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
21 ¶ Thou shalt not plant thee a grove of any trees near unto the altar of the LORD thy God, which thou shalt make thee. 22 Neither shalt thou set thee up any image; which the LORD thy God hateth.
Pashas svētki
(2Moz 12:1–202Moz 23:14–192Moz 34:18–26)1 Ievēro abība mēnesi un svini Kunga, tava Dieva, Pashu, jo abība mēnesī Kungs, tavs Dievs, tevi naktī izveda no Ēģiptes. 2 Upurē Kungam, savam Dievam, avis un vēršus Pashai vietā, ko Kungs būs izvēlējies, lai liktu tur mājot savam vārdam. 3 Neēd tos ar raudzētu maizi! Septiņas dienas ēd tos ar neraudzētu maizi, bēdu maizi, jo steigā tu izgāji no Ēģiptes zemes! Atceries dienu, kad izgāji no Ēģiptes zemes, visas savas dzīves dienas. 4 Lai visas septiņas dienas pie tevis nemana ieraugu tavās robežās, un lai līdz rītam nepaliek pāri nekas no tās gaļas, ko tu upurēji pirmās dienas vakarā. 5 Tu nedrīksti upurēt Pashai kādā pilsētā, ko Kungs, tavs Dievs, tev dod. 6 Bet tev ir jādodas uz vietu, ko Kungs, tavs Dievs, izvēlēsies, lai tur liktu mājot savam vārdam, – tur tu upurē Pashai vakarā, kad riet saule, laikā, kad tu iznāci no Ēģiptes. 7 Sataisi un ēd tajā vietā, ko Kungs, tavs Dievs, izvēlēsies, un no rīta atgriezies savās teltīs. 8 Ēd sešas dienas neraudzētu maizi un septītajā dienā noturi sapulci Kungam, savam Dievam, – tad nedari nekādu darbu!
Nedēļu svētki
(2Moz 34:223Moz 23:15–214Moz 28:26–31)9 Noskaiti septiņas nedēļas – sāc skaitīt septiņas nedēļas no brīža, kad tu ar sirpi sāc pļaut labību. 10 Svini Nedēļu svētkus Kungam, savam Dievam, dod labprātīgo upuri pēc tā, kā tevi svētījis Kungs, tavs Dievs. 11 Un priecājies Kunga, sava Dieva, priekšā – tu un tavs dēls, meita, vergs, verdzene un levīts, kas ir pie tevis, un svešinieks, bārenis un atraitne, kas pie tevis, – vietā, ko Kungs, tavs Dievs, izvēlēsies, lai liktu tur mājot savam vārdam. 12 Atceries, ka Ēģiptē tu biji vergs, ievēro un pildi visus šos likumus!
Būdiņu svētki
(3Moz 23:33–434Moz 29:12–39)13 Būdiņu svētkus svini septiņas dienas – kad būsi savācis ražu no sava klona un vīnspaida. 14 Un priecājies savos svētkos – tu un tavs dēls, meita, vergs, verdzene un levīts, un svešinieks, un bārenis, un atraitne, kas ir pie tevis. 15 Septiņas dienas svini svētkus Kungam, savam Dievam, vietā, ko Kungs izvēlēsies, jo Kungs, tavs Dievs, tevi svētīs gan ražā, gan visā, ko tu būsi veicis, – tad gan tu priecāsies! 16 Trīs reizes gadā visi tavi vīri lai stājas Kunga, sava Dieva, priekšā vietā, ko viņš izvēlēsies, – Neraudzētas maizes svētkos, Nedēļu svētkos un Būdiņu svētkos. Lai tie nerādās Kungam tukšā! 17 Ikviens lai nāk ar dāvanu, kā Kungs, tavs Dievs, tevi svētījis, cik viņš tev ir devis!
Tiesa un tiesneši
18 Visās vietās, ko Kungs, tavs Dievs, tev devis, kur tu mīti, iecel pār savām ciltīm tiesnešus un virsniekus – lai tie tiesā tautu ar taisnu tiesu! 19 Nesagrozi tiesu, nerīkojies kādam par labu un neņem kukuli, jo kukulis gudrā acis padara aklas un sagroza taisnā runu! 20 Taisnību, taisnību meklē, lai tu dzīvotu un iemantotu to zemi, ko Kungs, tavs Dievs, tev dod!
Aizliegtā dievkalpošana
21 Nestādi sev ašēru – neviena koka lai nav pie Kunga, tava Dieva, altāra, kas tev būs jāceļ! 22 Neslej sev elku stabus – tos Kungs, tavs Dievs, nīst!
