Deuteronomy 16:7-12 Amplified Bible (AMP)

7. And you shall roast or boil and eat it in the place which the Lord your God will choose. And in the morning you shall turn and go to your tents.

8. For six days you shall eat unleavened bread, and on the seventh day there shall be a solemn assembly to the Lord your God; you shall do no work on it.

9. You shall count seven weeks; begin to number the seven weeks from the time you begin to put the sickle to the standing grain.

10. Then you shall keep the Feast of Weeks to the Lord your God with a tribute of a freewill offering from your hand, which you shall give to the Lord your God, as the Lord your God blesses you.

11. And you shall rejoice before the Lord your God, you and your son and daughter, your manservant and maidservant, and the Levite who is within your towns, the stranger or temporary resident, the fatherless, and the widow who are among you, at the place in which the Lord your God chooses to make His Name [and His Presence] dwell.

12. And you shall [earnestly] remember that you were a slave in Egypt, and you shall be watchful and obey these statutes.
