Deuteronomy 16:14-20

14and thou shalt rejoiceH8055 in thy feastH2282, thou, and thy sonH1121, and thy daughterH1323, and thy manservant, and thy maidservantH519, and the LeviteH3881, and the strangerH1616, and the fatherlessH3490, and the widowH490, that are within thy gatesH8179.

15SevenH7651 daysH3117 shalt thou keep a feastH2287 unto the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 in the placeH4725 whichH834 the LORDH3068 shall chooseH977: becauseH3588 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 shall blessH1288 thee in allH3605 thine increaseH8393, and in allH3605 the workH4639 of thine handsH3027, and thou shalt be altogetherH3605 joyfulH8056.

16ThreeH7969 timesH6471 in a yearH8141 shall allH3605 thy malesH2138 appearH7200 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 in the placeH4725 whichH834 he shall chooseH977; in the feastH2282 of unleavenedH4682 breadH4682, and in the feastH2282 of weeksH7620, and in the feastH2282 of tabernacles: and they shall notH3808 appearH7200 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 emptyH7387:

17everyH376 manH376 shall giveH5414 as he is ableH3027, accordingH3027 to the blessingH1293 of the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 whichH834 he hath givenH5414 thee.

18JudgesH8199 and officersH7860 shalt thou makeH5414 thee in allH3605 thy gatesH8179, whichH834 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 giveth thee, accordingH4941 to thy tribesH7626: and they shall judgeH8199 the peopleH5971 with righteousH6664 judgmentH4941.

19Thou shalt notH3808 wrest judgmentH4941; thou shalt notH3808 respectH6440 persons: neitherH3808 shalt thou takeH3947 a gift; for a gift doth blindH5786 the eyesH5869 of the wiseH2450, and pervertH5186 the wordsH1697 of the righteousH6662.

20That whichH834 is altogether justH834 shalt thou followH7291, that thou mayest liveH2421, and inheritH3423 the landH776 whichH834 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 giveth thee.
