Deuteronomy 16:14-20

14and thou shalt rejoiceH8055 in thy feastH2282, thou, and thy sonH1121, and thy daughterH1323, and thy man-servant, and thy maid-servant, and the LeviteH3881, and the sojournerH1616, and the fatherlessH3490, and the widowH490, that are within thy gatesH8179. 15SevenH7651 daysH3117 shalt thou keep a feast unto Jehovah thy GodH430 in the placeH4725 which Jehovah shall chooseH977; because Jehovah thy GodH430 will blessH1288 thee in all thine increase, and in all the workH4639 of thy handsH3027, and thou shalt beH1961 altogether joyfulH8056. 16ThreeH7969 timesH6471 in a yearH8141 shall all thy malesH2138 appearH7200 before Jehovah thy GodH430 in the placeH4725 which he shall chooseH977: in the feastH2282 of unleavenedH4682 breadH4682, and in the feastH2282 of weeksH7620, and in the feastH2282 of tabernacles; and they shall not appearH7200 before Jehovah emptyH7387: 17every manH376 shall giveH5414 as he is able, according to the blessingH1293 of Jehovah thy GodH430 which he hath givenH5414 thee.

18JudgesH8199 and officersH7860 shalt thou makeH5414 thee in all thy gatesH8179, which Jehovah thy GodH430 giveth thee, according to thy tribesH7626; and they shall judgeH8199 the peopleH5971 with righteous judgmentH4941. 19Thou shalt not wrest justiceH4941: thou shalt not respect persons; neither shalt thou takeH3947 a bribeH7810; for a bribeH7810 doth blindH5786 the eyesH5869 of the wiseH2450, and pervert the wordsH1697 of the righteousH6662. 20That which is altogether just shalt thou follow, that thou mayest liveH2421, and inheritH3423 the landH776 which Jehovah thy GodH430 giveth thee.
