Exodus 34:14-26

14--for 1you shall not worship any other god, for the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God-- 15otherwise you might make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land and they would play the harlot with their gods and 2sacrifice to their gods, and someone 3might invite you 4to eat of his sacrifice, 16and 5you might take some of his daughters for your sons, and his daughters might play the harlot with their gods and cause your sons also to play the harlot with their gods. 176You shall make for yourself no molten gods.

18“You shall observe 7the Feast of Unleavened Bread. For 8seven days you are to eat unleavened bread, 9as I commanded you, at the appointed time in the 10month of Abib, for in the month of Abib you came out of Egypt.

19“11The first offspring from every womb belongs to Me, and all your male livestock, the first offspring from 12cattle and sheep. 2013You shall redeem with a lamb the 14first offspring from a donkey; and if you do not redeem it, then you shall break its neck. You shall redeem 15all the firstborn of your sons. 1617None shall appear before Me empty-handed.

21“You shall work 18six days, but on the seventh day you shall rest; even during plowing time and harvest you shall rest. 22You shall celebrate 19the Feast of Weeks, that is, the first fruits of the wheat harvest, and the Feast of Ingathering at the turn of the year. 2320Three times a year all your males are to appear before the Lord 21God, the God of Israel. 24For I will 2223drive out nations before you and enlarge your borders, and no man shall covet your land when you go up three times a year to appear before the Lord your God.

25“24You shall not 25offer the blood of My sacrifice with leavened bread, 26nor is the sacrifice of the Feast of the Passover to 27be left over until morning.

26“You shall bring 28the very first of the first fruits of your soil into the house of the Lord your God.

“You shall not boil a young goat in its mother’s milk.”
