Deuteronomy 16 (WEBP)

[1] Observe the month of Abib, and keep the Passover to Yahweh your God; for in the month of Abib Yahweh your God brought you out of Egypt by night.
[2] You shall sacrifice the Passover to Yahweh your God, of the flock and the herd, in the place which Yahweh shall choose to cause his name to dwell there.
[3] You shall eat no leavened bread with it. You shall eat unleavened bread with it seven days, even the bread of affliction (for you came out of the land of Egypt in haste) that you may remember the day when you came out of the land of Egypt all the days of your life.
[4] No yeast shall be seen with you in all your borders seven days; neither shall any of the meat, which you sacrifice the first day at evening, remain all night until the morning.
[5] You may not sacrifice the Passover within any of your gates which Yahweh your God gives you;
[6] but at the place which Yahweh your God shall choose to cause his name to dwell in, there you shall sacrifice the Passover at evening, at the going down of the sun, at the season that you came out of Egypt.
[7] You shall roast and eat it in the place which Yahweh your God chooses. In the morning you shall return to your tents.
[8] Six days you shall eat unleavened bread. On the seventh day shall be a solemn assembly to Yahweh your God. You shall do no work.
[9] You shall count for yourselves seven weeks. From the time you begin to put the sickle to the standing grain you shall begin to count seven weeks.
[10] You shall keep the feast of weeks to Yahweh your God with a tribute of a free will offering of your hand, which you shall give according to how Yahweh your God blesses you.
[11] You shall rejoice before Yahweh your God: you, your son, your daughter, your male servant, your female servant, the Levite who is within your gates, the foreigner, the fatherless, and the widow who are among you, in the place which Yahweh your God shall choose to cause his name to dwell there.
[12] You shall remember that you were a slave in Egypt. You shall observe and do these statutes.
[13] You shall keep the feast of booths seven days, after you have gathered in from your threshing floor and from your wine press.
[14] You shall rejoice in your feast, you, your son, your daughter, your male servant, your female servant, the Levite, the foreigner, the fatherless, and the widow who are within your gates.
[15] You shall keep a feast to Yahweh your God seven days in the place which Yahweh chooses, because Yahweh your God will bless you in all your increase and in all the work of your hands, and you shall be altogether joyful.
[16] Three times in a year all of your males shall appear before Yahweh your God in the place which he chooses: in the feast of unleavened bread, in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of booths. They shall not appear before Yahweh empty.
[17] Every man shall give as he is able, according to Yahweh your God’s blessing which he has given you.
[18] You shall make judges and officers in all your gates, which Yahweh your God gives you, according to your tribes; and they shall judge the people with righteous judgment.
[19] You shall not pervert justice. You shall not show partiality. You shall not take a bribe, for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and perverts the words of the righteous.
[20] You shall follow that which is altogether just, that you may live and inherit the land which Yahweh your God gives you.
[21] You shall not plant for yourselves an Asherah of any kind of tree beside Yahweh your God’s altar, which you shall make for yourselves.
[22] Neither shall you set yourself up a sacred stone which Yahweh your God hates.

[1] φυλαξαι τον μηνα των νεων και ποιησεις το πασχα κυριω τω θεω σου οτι εν τω μηνι των νεων εξηλθες εξ αιγυπτου νυκτος
[2] και θυσεις το πασχα κυριω τω θεω σου προβατα και βοας εν τω τοπω ω εαν εκλεξηται κυριος ο θεος σου αυτον επικληθηναι το ονομα αυτου εκει
[3] ου φαγη επ αυτου ζυμην επτα ημερας φαγη επ αυτου αζυμα αρτον κακωσεως οτι εν σπουδη εξηλθετε εξ αιγυπτου ινα μνησθητε την ημεραν της εξοδιας υμων εκ γης αιγυπτου πασας τας ημερας της ζωης υμων
[4] ουκ οφθησεται σοι ζυμη εν πασι τοις οριοις σου επτα ημερας και ου κοιμηθησεται απο των κρεων ων εαν θυσης το εσπερας τη ημερα τη πρωτη εις το πρωι
[5] ου δυνηση θυσαι το πασχα εν ουδεμια των πολεων σου ων κυριος ο θεος σου διδωσιν σοι
[6] αλλ η εις τον τοπον ον εαν εκλεξηται κυριος ο θεος σου επικληθηναι το ονομα αυτου εκει θυσεις το πασχα εσπερας προς δυσμας ηλιου εν τω καιρω ω εξηλθες εξ αιγυπτου
[7] και εψησεις και οπτησεις και φαγη εν τω τοπω ω εαν εκλεξηται κυριος ο θεος σου αυτον και αποστραφηση το πρωι και απελευση εις τους οικους σου
[8] εξ ημερας φαγη αζυμα και τη ημερα τη εβδομη εξοδιον εορτη κυριω τω θεω σου ου ποιησεις εν αυτη παν εργον πλην οσα ποιηθησεται ψυχη
[9] επτα εβδομαδας ολοκληρους εξαριθμησεις σεαυτω αρξαμενου σου δρεπανον επ αμητον αρξη εξαριθμησαι επτα εβδομαδας
[10] και ποιησεις εορτην εβδομαδων κυριω τω θεω σου καθοτι η χειρ σου ισχυει οσα αν δω σοι καθοτι ηυλογησεν σε κυριος ο θεος σου
[11] και ευφρανθηση εναντιον κυριου του θεου σου συ και ο υιος σου και η θυγατηρ σου ο παις σου και η παιδισκη σου και ο λευιτης ο εν ταις πολεσιν σου και ο προσηλυτος και ο ορφανος και η χηρα η εν υμιν εν τω τοπω ω εαν εκλεξηται κυριος ο θεος σου επικληθηναι το ονομα αυτου εκει
[12] και μνησθηση οτι οικετης ησθα εν γη αιγυπτω και φυλαξη και ποιησεις τας εντολας ταυτας
[13] εορτην σκηνων ποιησεις σεαυτω επτα ημερας εν τω συναγαγειν σε εκ του αλωνος σου και απο της ληνου σου
[14] και ευφρανθηση εν τη εορτη σου συ και ο υιος σου και η θυγατηρ σου ο παις σου και η παιδισκη σου και ο λευιτης και ο προσηλυτος και ο ορφανος και η χηρα η ουσα εν ταις πολεσιν σου

[16] τρεις καιρους του ενιαυτου οφθησεται παν αρσενικον σου εναντιον κυριου του θεου σου εν τω τοπω ω εαν εκλεξηται αυτον κυριος εν τη εορτη των αζυμων και εν τη εορτη των εβδομαδων και εν τη εορτη της σκηνοπηγιας ουκ οφθηση ενωπιον κυριου του θεου σου κενος
[17] εκαστος κατα δυναμιν των χειρων υμων κατα την ευλογιαν κυριου του θεου σου ην εδωκεν σοι
[18] κριτας και γραμματοεισαγωγεις καταστησεις σεαυτω εν πασαις ταις πολεσιν σου αις κυριος ο θεος σου διδωσιν σοι κατα φυλας και κρινουσιν τον λαον κρισιν δικαιαν
[19] ουκ εκκλινουσιν κρισιν ουκ επιγνωσονται προσωπον ουδε λημψονται δωρον τα γαρ δωρα εκτυφλοι οφθαλμους σοφων και εξαιρει λογους δικαιων
