Deuteronomy
Chapter 16
1
Observe the month of Abib,
and
guard/keep the Passover
unto
Jehovah/God your Elohiym/Godhead.
For
in the month of Abib
Jehovah/God
your Elohiym/Godhead
brought
you forth out of Egypt by night.
2
You shall therefore sacrifice the Passover
unto
Jehovah/God your Elohiym/Godhead,
of
the flock and the herd,
in
the place which Jehovah/God
shall
choose to place His Name there.
3
You shall eat no leavened bread with it;
seven
days shall you eat unleavened bread therewith,
even
the bread of affliction;
for
you came forth out of the land of Egypt in haste.
That
you may remember the day when you came forth
out
of the land of Egypt
all
the days of your life.
4
And there shall be no leavened bread seen with you
in
all your coast seven days;
neither
shall there any thing of the flesh,
which
you sacrificed the first day at evening,
remain
all night until the morning.
5
You may not sacrifice the Passover
within
any of your gates,
which
Jehovah/God your Elohiym/Godhead gives you.
6
But at the place which Jehovah/God your Elohiym/Godhead
shall
choose to place His Name in,
there
you shall sacrifice the Passover at evening,
at
the going down of the sun,
at
the season that you came forth out of Egypt.
7
And you shall roast and eat it in the place
which
Jehovah/God your Elohiym/Godhead shall choose.
And
you shall turn in the morning, and go unto your tents.
8
Six days you shall eat unleavened bread.
And
on the seventh day shall be a solemn assembly
to
Jehovah/God your Elohiym/Godhead.
You
shall do no work therein.
9
Seven weeks shall you number unto you.
Begin
to number the seven weeks from such time
as
you begin to put the sickle to the corn.
10
And you shall guard/keep the feast of weeks
unto
Jehovah/God your Elohiym/Godhead
with
a tribute of a freewill offering of your hand,
which
you shall give unto Jehovah/God your Elohiym/Godhead,
according
as Jehovah/God your Elohiym/Godhead has blessed you.
{Note:
This is the principal of giving. There is no specific amount!
Instead, you give to God as God has blessed you.}
11
And you shall rejoice before Jehovah/God your Elohiym/Godhead,
you,
and your son, and your daughter,
and
your manservant, and your maidservant,
and
the Levite that is within your gates,
and
the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow,
who
are among you,
in
the place which Jehovah/God your Elohiym/Godhead
has
chosen to place His Name there.
12
And you shall remember that you were a bondman in Egypt.
And
you shall observe and do these statutes.
13
You shall observe the feast of tabernacles seven days,
after
that you have gathered in your corn and your wine.
14
And you shall rejoice in your feast,
you,
and your son, and your daughter,
and
your manservant, and your maidservant,
and
the Levite, the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow,
who
are within your gates.
15
Seven days shall you guard/keep a solemn feast
unto
Jehovah/God your Elohiym/Godhead
in
the place which Jehovah/God shall choose.
Because
Jehovah/God your Elohiym/Godhead
shall
bless you in all your increase,
and
in all the works of your hands,
therefore
you shall surely rejoice.
16
Three times in a year shall all your males appear
before
Jehovah/God your Elohiym/Godhead
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 Jehovah/God empty.
17
Every man shall give as he is able,
according
to the blessing of Jehovah/God your Elohiym/Godhead
which
He has given you.
18
Judges and officers shall you make you in all your gates,
which
Jehovah/God your Elohiym/Godhead gives you,
throughout
your tribes.
And
they shall judge the people with just judgment.
19
You shall not wrest judgment;
you
shall not respect persons,
{means should not be inequality in court}
neither
take a gift/bribe.
For
a gift/bribe does blind the eyes of the wise,
and
pervert the words/'doctrinal communications' {dabar} of the righteous.
20
That which is altogether just shall you follow,
that
you may live, and inherit the land
which
Jehovah/God your Elohiym/Godhead gives you.
21
You shall not plant you a grove of any trees
near
unto the altar of Jehovah/God your Elohiym/Godhead,
which
you shall make you.
22
Neither shall you set you up any image;
which
Jehovah/God your Elohiym/Godhead hates.
