6. but at the place[H4725] which Jehovah[H3068] thy God[H430] shall choose[H977], to cause his name[H8034] to dwell in[H2076], there thou shalt sacrifice the passover[H6453] at even[H6153], at the going down[H935] of the sun[H8121], at the season[H4150] that thou camest forth[H3318] out[H3318] of Egypt[H4714].

8. Six[H8337] days[H3117] thou shalt eat[H398] unleavened bread[H4682]; and on the seventh[H7637] day[H3117] shall be a solemn assembly[H6116] to Jehovah[H3068] thy God[H430]; thou shalt do[H6213] no work therein[H4399].
9. Seven[H7651] weeks[H7620] shalt thou number[H5608] unto thee[H2490]: from the time thou beginnest to put the sickle[H2770] to the standing grain[H7054] shalt thou begin[H2490] to number[H5608] seven[H7651] weeks[H7620].

11. and thou shalt rejoice[H8055] before[H6440] Jehovah[H3068] thy God[H430], thou[H1121], and thy son, and thy daughter[H1323], and thy man-servant[H5650], and thy maid-servant[H519], and the Levite[H3881] that is within thy gates[H8179], and the sojourner[H1616], and the fatherless[H3490], and the widow[H490], that are in the midst[H7130] of thee[H4725], in the place which Jehovah[H3068] thy God[H430] shall choose[H977], to cause his name[H8034] to dwell there[H7931].

13. Thou shalt keep[H6213] the feast[H2282] of tabernacles[H5521] seven[H7651] days[H3117], after that thou hast gathered[H622] in from thy threshing-floor[H1637] and from thy winepress[H3342]:
14. and thou shalt rejoice[H8055] in thy feast[H2282], thou[H1121], and thy son, and thy daughter[H1323], and thy man-servant[H5650], and thy maid-servant[H519], and the Levite[H3881], and the sojourner[H1616], and the fatherless[H3490], and the widow[H490], that are within thy gates[H8179].
15. Seven[H7651] days[H3117] shalt thou keep a feast[H2287] unto Jehovah[H3068] thy God[H430] in the place[H4725] which Jehovah[H3068] shall choose[H977]; because Jehovah[H3068] thy God[H430] will bless[H1288] thee in all thine increase[H8393], and in all the work[H4639] of thy hands[H3027], and thou shalt be altogether joyful[H8056].
16. Three[H7969] times[H6471] in a year[H8141] shall all thy males[H2138] appear[H7200] before[H6440] Jehovah[H3068] thy God[H430] in the place[H4725] which he shall choose[H977]: in the feast[H2282] of unleavened bread[H4682], and in the feast[H2282] of weeks[H7620], and in the feast[H2282] of tabernacles[H5521]; and they shall not appear[H7200] before[H6440] Jehovah[H3068] empty[H7387]:
17. every man[H376] shall give as he is able[H4979], according to the blessing[H1293] of Jehovah[H3068] thy God[H430] which he hath given thee[H5414].
18. 70[H8199] and officers[H7860] shalt thou make[H5414] thee in all thy gates[H8179], which Jehovah[H3068] thy God[H430] giveth[H5414] thee[H7626], according to thy tribes; and they shall judge[H8199] the people[H5971] with righteous[H6664] judgment[H4941].
19. Thou shalt not wrest[H5186] justice[H4941]: thou shalt not respect[H5234] persons[H6440]; neither shalt thou take[H3947] a bribe[H7810]; for a bribe[H7810] doth blind[H5786] the eyes[H5869] of the wise[H2450], and pervert[H5557] the words[H1697] of the righteous[H6662].
