05:016:012 And thou shalt remember that thou wast
a bondman in Egypt: and
thou
shalt observe and do these statutes.
05:016:013 Thou shalt observe the feast of tabernacles
seven days, after
that
thou hast gathered in thy corn and thy wine:
05:016:014 And thou shalt rejoice in thy feast, thou,
and thy son, and
thy
daughter, and thy manservant, and thy maidservant,
and the
Levite,
the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, that
are
within thy gates.
05:016:015 Seven days shalt thou keep a solemn feast
unto the lord thy
God
in the place which the lord shall choose:
because the lord
thy
God shall bless thee in all thine increase, and in
all the
works
of thine hands, therefore thou shalt surely rejoice.
05:016:016 Three times in a year shall all thy males
appear before the
lord
thy God 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
the
lord
empty:
05:016:017 Every man shall give as he is able, according
to the blessing
of
the lord thy God which he hath given thee.
05:016:018 Judges and officers shalt thou make thee
in all thy gates,
which
the lord thy God giveth thee, throughout thy tribes:
and
they
shall judge the people with just judgment.
05:016:019 Thou shalt not wrest judgment; thou shalt
not respect persons,
neither
take a gift: for a gift doth blind the eyes of
the
wise,
and pervert the words of the righteous.
05:016:020 That which is altogether just shalt thou
follow, that thou
mayest
live, and inherit the land which the lord thy
God
giveth
thee.
05:016:021 Thou shalt not plant thee a grove of any
trees near unto the
altar
of the lord thy God, which thou shalt make thee.
05:016:022 Neither shalt thou set thee up any image;
which the lord thy
God
hateth.
05:017:001 Thou shalt not sacrifice unto the lord
thy God any bullock, or
sheep,
wherein is blemish, or any evilfavouredness: for
that
is
an abomination unto the lord thy God.
05:017:002 If there be found among you, within any
of thy gates which the
lord
thy God giveth thee, man or woman, that hath wrought
wickedness
in the sight of the lord thy God, in transgressing
his
covenant,
05:017:003 And hath gone and served other gods, and
worshipped them,
either
the sun, or moon, or any of the host of heaven, which
I
have
not commanded;
