God’s Word Translation
Deuteronomy 16:14-20
14Enjoy yourselves at the festival along with your sons, daughters, male and female slaves, the Levites, foreigners, orphans, and widows who live in your cities.
15For seven days you will celebrate this festival dedicated to the Lord your God in the place he will choose. You will enjoy yourselves, because the Lord your God will bless all your harvest and all your work.
16Three times a year all your men must come into the presence of the Lord your God at the place he will choose: at the Festival of Unleavened Bread, the Festival of Weeks, and the Festival of Booths. But no one may come into the presence of the Lord without an offering.
17Each man must bring a gift in proportion to the blessings the Lord your God has given him.
18Appoint judges and officers for your tribes in every city that the Lord your God is giving you. They are to judge the people fairly.
19Never pervert justice. Instead, be impartial. Never take a bribe, because bribes blind wise people and deny justice to those who are in the right.
20Strive for nothing but justice so that you will live and take possession of the land that the Lord your God is giving you.
