^19 (A)“All the firstborn males that are born of your herd and flock you shall dedicate to the Lord your God. You shall do no work with the firstborn of your herd, nor shear the firstborn of your flock. ^20 (B)You shall eat it, you and your household, before the Lord your God year by year at the place that the Lord will choose. ^21 (C)But if it has any blemish, if it is lame or blind or has any serious blemish whatever, you shall not sacrifice it to the Lord your God. ²² You shall eat it within your towns. ^(D)The unclean and the clean alike may eat it, as though it were a gazelle or a deer. ^23 (E)Only you shall not eat its blood; you shall pour it out on the ground like water.

Passover

16 “Observe the ^(F)month of Abib and keep the Passover to the Lord your God, for ^(G)in the month of Abib the Lord your God brought you out of Egypt by night. ² And you shall offer the Passover sacrifice to the Lord your God, from the flock or ^(H)the herd, ^(I)at the place that the Lord will choose, to make his name dwell there. ³ You shall eat no leavened bread with it. ^(J)Seven days you shall eat it with unleavened bread, the bread of affliction—for you came out of the land of Egypt ^(K)in haste—that all the days of your life you may remember the day when you came out of the land of Egypt. ^4 (L)No leaven shall be seen with you in all your territory for seven days, ^(M)nor shall any of the flesh that you sacrifice on the evening of the first day remain all night until morning. ⁵ You may not offer the Passover sacrifice within any of your towns that the Lord your God is giving you, ⁶ but at the place that the Lord your God will choose, to make his name dwell in it, there you shall offer the Passover sacrifice, in the evening at sunset, at the time you came out of Egypt. ⁷ And 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. ⁸ For ^(N)six days you shall eat unleavened bread, and on the seventh day there shall be ^(O)a solemn assembly to the Lord your God. You shall do no work on it.

The Feast of Weeks

^9 (P)“You shall count seven weeks. Begin to count the seven weeks from the time the sickle is first put to the standing grain. ¹⁰ Then you shall keep ^(Q)the Feast of Weeks to the Lord your God with ^(R)the tribute of a freewill offering from your hand, which you shall give ^(S)as the Lord your God blesses you. ¹¹ And ^(T)you shall rejoice before the Lord your God, you and your son and your daughter, your male servant and your female servant, the Levite who is within your towns, the sojourner, the fatherless, and the widow who are among you, at the place that the Lord your God will choose, to make his name dwell there. ^12 (U)You shall remember that you were a slave in Egypt; and you shall be careful to observe these statutes.

The Feast of Booths

^13 (V)“You shall keep the Feast of Booths seven days, when you have gathered in the produce from your threshing floor and your winepress. ^14 (W)You 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. ¹⁵ For ^(X)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 (Y)“Three times a year all your males shall appear before the Lord your God at the place that he will choose: at the Feast of Unleavened Bread, at the Feast of Weeks, and at the Feast of Booths. ^(Z)They shall not appear before the Lord empty-handed. ¹⁷ Every man ^(AA)shall give as he is able, ^(AB)according to the blessing of the Lord your God that he has given you.
