Exodus 34:18-28

18“You shall observe 1the Feast of Unleavened Bread. For 2seven days you are to eat unleavened bread, 3as I commanded you, at the appointed time in the 4month of Abib, for in the month of Abib you came out of Egypt.

19“5The first offspring from every womb belongs to Me, and all your male livestock, the first offspring from 6cattle and sheep. 207You shall redeem with a lamb the 8first offspring from a donkey; and if you do not redeem it, then you shall break its neck. You shall redeem 9all the firstborn of your sons. 1011None shall appear before Me empty-handed.

21“You shall work 12six days, but on the seventh day you shall rest; even during plowing time and harvest you shall rest. 22You shall celebrate 13the Feast of Weeks, that is, the first fruits of the wheat harvest, and the Feast of Ingathering at the turn of the year. 2314Three times a year all your males are to appear before the Lord 15God, the God of Israel. 24For I will 1617drive 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“18You shall not 19offer the blood of My sacrifice with leavened bread, 20nor is the sacrifice of the Feast of the Passover to 21be left over until morning.

26“You shall bring 22the 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.”

27Then the Lord said to Moses, “23Write 24down these words, for in accordance with these words I have made 25a covenant with you and with Israel.” 28So he was there with the Lord 26forty days and forty nights; he did not eat bread or drink water. And 2728he wrote on the tablets the words of the covenant, 29the Ten 30Commandments.
