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.

[2] Thou shalt therefore sacrifice H2076 (8804) the passover H6453 unto the LORD H3068 thy God H430, of the flock H6629 and the herd H1241, in the place H4725 which the LORD H3068 shall choose H977 (8799) to place H7931 (8763) his name H8034 there.
[3] Thou shalt eat H398 (8799) no leavened bread H2557 with it; seven H7651 days H3117 shalt thou eat H398 (8799) unleavened bread H4682 therewith, [even] the bread H3899 of affliction H6040; for thou camest forth H3318 (8804) out of the land H776 of Egypt H4714 in haste H2649: that thou mayest remember H2142 (8799) the day H3117 when thou camest forth H3318 (8800) out of the land H776 of Egypt H4714 all the days H3117 of thy life H2416.
[4] And there shall be no leavened bread H7603 seen H7200 (8735) with thee in all thy coast H1366 seven H7651 days H3117; neither shall there [any thing] of the flesh H1320, which thou sacrificedst H2076 (8799) the first H7223 day H3117 at even H6153, remain H3885 (8799) all night until the morning H1242.

[6] But at the place H4725 which the LORD H3068 thy God H430 shall choose H977 (8799) to place H7931 (8763) his name H8034 in, there thou shalt sacrifice H2076 (8799) the passover H6453 at even H6153, at the going down H935 (8800) of the sun H8121, at the season H4150 that thou camest forth H3318 (8800) out of Egypt H4714.
[7] And thou shalt roast H1310 (8765) and eat H398 (8804) [it] in the place H4725 which the LORD H3068 thy God H430 shall choose H977 (8799): and thou shalt turn H6437 (8804) in the morning H1242, and go H1980 (8804) unto thy tents H168.
[8] Six H8337 days H3117 thou shalt eat H398 (8799) unleavened bread H4682: and on the seventh H7637 day H3117 [shall be] a solemn assembly H6116 to the LORD H3068 thy God H430: thou shalt do H6213 (8799) no work H4399 [therein].
[9] Seven H7651 weeks H7620 shalt thou number H5608 (8799) unto thee: begin H2490 (8687) to number H5608 (8800) the seven H7651 weeks H7620 from [such time as] thou beginnest H2490 (8686) [to put] the sickle H2770 to the corn H7054.
[10] And thou shalt keep H6213 (8804) the feast H2282 of weeks H7620 unto the LORD H3068 thy God H430 with a tribute H4530 of a freewill offering H5071 of thine hand H3027, which thou shalt give H5414 (8799) [unto the LORD thy God], according as the LORD H3068 thy God H430 hath blessed H1288 (8762) thee:
[11] And thou shalt rejoice H8055 (8804) before H6440 the LORD H3068 thy God H430, thou, and thy son H1121, and thy daughter H1323, and thy manservant H5650, and thy maidservant H519, and the Levite H3881 that [is] within thy gates H8179, and the stranger H1616, and the fatherless H3490, and the widow H490, that [are] among H7130 you, in the place H4725 which the LORD H3068 thy God H430 hath chosen H977 (8799) to place H7931 (8763) his name H8034 there.
[12] And thou shalt remember H2142 (8804) that thou wast a bondman H5650 in Egypt H4714: and thou shalt observe H8104 (8804) and do H6213 (8804) these statutes H2706.
[13] Thou shalt observe H6213 (8799) the feast H2282 of tabernacles H5521 seven H7651 days H3117, after that thou hast gathered H622 (8800) in thy corn H1637 and thy wine H3342:
[14] And thou shalt rejoice H8055 (8804) in thy feast H2282, thou, and thy son H1121, and thy daughter H1323, and thy manservant H5650, and thy maidservant H519, and the Levite H3881, the stranger H1616, and the fatherless H3490, and the widow H490, that [are] within thy gates H8179.
[15] Seven H7651 days H3117 shalt thou keep a solemn feast H2287 (8799) unto the LORD H3068 thy God H430 in the place H4725 which the LORD H3068 shall choose H977 (8799): because the LORD H3068 thy God H430 shall bless H1288 (8762) thee in all thine increase H8393, and in all the works H4639 of thine hands H3027, therefore thou shalt surely rejoice H8056.
[16] Three H7969 times H6471 in a year H8141 shall all thy males H2138 appear H7200 (8735) before H6440 the LORD H3068 thy God H430 in the place H4725 which he shall choose H977 (8799); 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 (8735) before H6440 the LORD H3068 empty H7387:
[17] Every man H376 [shall give] as he is able H4979 H3027, according to the blessing H1293 of the LORD H3068 thy God H430 which he hath given H5414 (8804) thee.
[18] Judges H8199 (8802) and officers H7860 (8802) shalt thou make H5414 (8799) thee in all thy gates H8179, which the LORD H3068 thy God H430 giveth H5414 (8802) thee, throughout thy tribes H7626: and they shall judge H8199 (8804) the people H5971 with just H6664 judgment H4941.
[19] Thou shalt not wrest H5186 (8686) judgment H4941; thou shalt not respect H5234 (8686) persons H6440, neither take H3947 (8799) a gift H7810: for a gift H7810 doth blind H5786 (8762) the eyes H5869 of the wise H2450, and pervert H5557 (8762) the words H1697 of the righteous H6662.
[20] That which is altogether H6664 just H6664 shalt thou follow H7291 (8799), that thou mayest live H2421 (8799), and inherit H3423 (8804) the land H776 which the LORD H3068 thy God H430 giveth H5414 (8802) thee.
[21] Thou shalt not plant H5193 (8799) thee a grove H842 of any trees H6086 near unto H681 the altar H4196 of the LORD H3068 thy God H430, which thou shalt make H6213 (8799) thee.
[22] Neither shalt thou set thee up H6965 (8686) [any] image H4676; which the LORD H3068 thy God H430 hateth H8130 (8804).
Young’s Literal Translation
Deuteronomy 16 (YLT)
[1] ‘Observe the month of Abib-and thou hast made a passover to Jehovah thy God, for in the month of Abib hath Jehovah thy God brought thee out of Egypt by night;
[2] and thou hast sacrificed a passover to Jehovah thy God, of the flock, and of the herd, in the place which Jehovah doth choose to cause His name to tabernacle there.
[3] ‘Thou dost not eat with it any fermented thing, seven days thou dost eat with it unleavened things, bread of affliction; for in haste thou hast come out of the land of Egypt; so that thou dost remember the day of thy coming out of the land of Egypt all days of thy life;
[4] and there is not seen with thee leaven in all thy border seven days, and there doth not remain of the flesh which thou dost sacrifice at evening on the first day till morning.
[5] ‘Thou art not able to sacrifice the passover within any of thy gates which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee,
[6] except at the place which Jehovah thy God doth choose to cause His name to tabernacle-there thou dost sacrifice the passover in the evening, at the going in of the sun, the season of thy coming out of Egypt;
[7] and thou hast cooked and eaten in the place on which Jehovah thy God doth fix, and hast turned in the morning, and gone to thy tents;
[8] six days thou dost eat unleavened things, and on the seventh day is a restraint to Jehovah thy God; thou dost do no work.
[9] ‘Seven weeks thou dost number to thee; from the beginning of the sickle among the standing corn thou dost begin to number seven weeks,
[10] and thou hast made the feast of weeks to Jehovah thy God, a tribute of a free-will offering of thy hand, which thou dost give, as Jehovah thy God doth bless thee.
[11] And thou hast rejoiced before Jehovah thy God, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy man-servant, and thy handmaid, and the Levite who is within thy gates, and the sojourner, and the fatherless, and the widow, who are in thy midst, in the place which Jehovah thy God doth choose to cause His name to tabernacle there,
[12] and thou hast remembered that a servant thou hast been in Egypt, and hast observed and done these statutes.
[13] ‘The feast of booths thou dost make for thee seven days, in thine in-gathering of thy threshing-floor, and of thy wine-vat;
[14] and thou hast rejoiced in thy feast, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy man-servant, and thy handmaid, and the Levite, and the sojourner, and the fatherless, and the widow, who are within thy gates.
[15] Seven days thou dost feast before Jehovah thy God, in the place which Jehovah doth choose, for Jehovah thy God doth bless thee in all thine increase, and in every work of thy hands, and thou hast been only rejoicing.
[16] ‘Three times in a year doth every one of thy males appear before Jehovah thy God in the place which He doth choose-in the feast of unleavened things, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of booths; and they do not appear before Jehovah empty;
[17] each according to the gift of his hand, according to the blessing of Jehovah thy God, which He hath given to thee.
[18] ‘Judges and authorities thou dost make to thee within all thy gates which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee, for thy tribes; and they have judged the people-a righteous judgment.
[19] Thou dost not turn aside judgment; thou dost not discern faces, nor take a bribe, for the bribe blindeth the eyes of the wise, and perverteth the words of the righteous.
[20] Righteousness-righteousness thou dost pursue, so that thou livest, and hast possessed the land which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee.
[21] ‘Thou dost not plant for thee a shrine of any trees near the altar of Jehovah thy God, which thou makest for thyself,
[22] and thou dost not raise up to thee any standing image which Jehovah thy God is hating.
