16:1 Shomer the month of Aviv, and shomer the pesach unto YHWH  Eloheicha: for in the month of Aviv YHWH  Eloheicha brought thee forth out of Mitzrayim by night.

16:2 Thou shalt therefore zevach the pesach unto YHWH  Eloheicha, of the flock and the herd, in the place which YHWH (יהוה) shall choose to place His Name there.

16:3 Thou shalt eat no hametz with it; shivat yamin shalt thou eat matzot therewith, [even] the lechem oni (bread of affliction); for thou camest forth out of the eretz Mitzrayim in haste: that thou mayest zakar the day when thou camest forth out of the eretz Mitzrayim all the yamin of thy life.

16:4 And there shall be no seor (leaven) seen with thee in all thy coast shivat yamim; neither shall there [any thing] of the flesh, which thou zabach (slaughter) ba'Erev ha Rishon, remain all night until the morning.

16:5 Thou mayest not Zabach the pesach within any of thy she'arim (gates), which YHWH  Eloheicha giveth thee:

16:6 But at the place which YHWH  Eloheicha shall choose to place his name in, there thou shalt zevach the pesach at even, at the going down of the sun, at the season that thou camest forth out of Mitzrayim.

16:7 And thou shalt roast and eat [it] in the place which YHWH  Eloheicha shall choose: and thou shalt turn in the morning, and go unto thy tents.

16:8 Six yamin thou shalt eat matzot: and on ha'shevi'i [shall be] a solemn assembly to YHWH  Eloheicha: thou shalt do no melachah (work) [therein].

16:9 Shivah shavu'ot (seven weeks) shalt thou number unto thee: *begin to number the Shivah shavu'ot (seven weeks) from [such time as] thou beginnest [to put] the sickle to the corn. *counting of omer

16:10 And thou shalt shomer the feast of weeks unto YHWH (יהוה) Eloh eicha with a tribute of a terumah (freewill offering) of thine hand, which thou shalt give [unto YHWH  Eloheicha], according as YHWH  Eloheicha hath blessed thee:

16:11 And thou shalt rejoice before YHWH  Eloheicha, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy eved, and thy amah, and the Levy that [is] within thy she'arim (gates), and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, that [are] among you, in the place which YHWH  Eloheicha hath chosen to place his name there.

16:12 And thou shalt zakar that thou wast a bondman in Mitzrayim and thou shalt shomer and do these chukkot.

16:13 (Maftir) Pilgrimage to Yerushalayim

Thou shalt shomer the Chag HaSukkot Shivat yamin, after that thou hast gathered in thy corn and thy wine:

16:14 And thou shalt rejoice in thy feast, thou, and thy ben, and thy bat (daughter), and thy eved, and thy maidservant, and the Levy, the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, that [are] within thy she'arim (gates).

16:15 Shivat yamin shalt thou shomer a solemn feast unto YHWH  Eloheicha in the place which YHWH (יהוה) shall choose: because YHWH  Eloheicha shall bless thee in all thine increase, and in all the works of thine hands, therefore thou shalt surely rejoice.

NONE ARE TO COME TO THE FEAST EMPTY-HANDED

16:16 *Shalosh p'amim bashanah shall all thy males appear before YHWH  Eloheicha in the place which he shall choose; in the Chag matzot, and in the feast of weeks, and in the Chag HaSukkot: and they shall not appear before YHWH (יהוה) empty: *shalosh (three) times a year

16:17 Every man [shall give] as he is able, according to the blessing of YHWH  Eloheicha which he hath given thee.

16:18

Shoftim veshotrim titen-lekha bekhal-sheareikha asher YEHOVAH  Eloheikha noten lekha lishvateikha veshaftu et-haam mishpat-tzedek:"

You shall appoint for yourself judges and officers in all your towns which YEHOVAH your Elohim is giving you, according to your tribes, and they shall judge the people with righteous judgment.

16:19 Thou shalt not wrest mishpat; thou shalt not respect persons, neither take a gift: for a gift doth blind the eyes of the wise, and pervert the devarim of the righteous.

16:20 That which is altogether just shalt thou follow, that thou mayest live, and inherit the eretz which YHWH  Eloheicha giveth thee.

16:21 Thou shalt not plant thee asherah (grove) of any trees near unto the altar of YHWH  Eloheicha, which thou shalt make thee.

16:22 Neither shalt thou set thee up [any] image; which YHWH  Eloheicha hateth.
