Exodus 23:10-19
10“Now 1you shall sow your land for six years and gather in its yield, 11but in the seventh year you shall let it 2rest and lie uncultivated, so that the needy of your people may eat; and whatever they leave the animal of the field may eat. You are to do the same with your vineyard and your olive grove.
12“3For six days you are to do your work, but on the seventh day you shall cease from labor so that your ox and your donkey may rest, and the son of your female slave, as well as the stranger residing with you, may refresh themselves. 13Now 4concerning everything which I have said to you, be careful; and 5do not mention the name of other gods, nor let them be heard 6from your mouth.
14“7Three times a year you shall celebrate a feast to Me. 15You shall keep 8the Feast of Unleavened Bread; for seven days you are to eat unleavened bread, as I commanded you, at the appointed time in the 9month of Abib, for in 10that month you came out of Egypt. And 1112no one is to appear before Me empty-handed. 16Also you shall keep 13the Feast of the Harvest of the first fruits of your labors from what you sow in the field; also the Feast of the Ingathering at the end of the year 14when you gather in the fruit of your labors from the field. 1715Three times a year all your males shall appear before the Lord 16God.
18“17You shall not offer the blood of My sacrifice with leavened bread; 18nor is the fat of My 19feast to remain overnight until morning.
19“You shall bring 20the choice first fruits of your soil into the house of the Lord your God.
“21You are not to boil a young goat in the milk of its mother.
