New Testament

Exodus 23:14-24 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

14. Three times in each year, you shall celebrate feasts to me.

15. You shall keep the solemnity of unleavened bread. For seven days you shall eat unleavened bread, just as I instructed you, at the time of the month of new grain, when you departed from Egypt. You shall not appear empty-handed in my sight,

16. for it is the solemnity of the harvest of the first-fruits of your work, of whatever you have sown in the field. Likewise, it is a solemnity at the end of the season, when you will have gathered in all your crops from the field.

17. Three times a year, all your males shall appear before the Lord your God.

18. You shall not immolate the blood of my victim over leaven, nor shall the fat of my solemnity remain until morning.

19. You shall carry the first grain of the land to the house of the Lord your God. You shall not cook a young goat in the milk of its mother.

20. Behold, I will send my Angel, who will go before you, and preserve you on your journey, and lead you into the place that I have prepared.

21. Heed him, and hear his voice, and do not hold him in disregard. For he will not release you when you have sinned, and my name is in him.

22. But if you listen to his voice and do all that I say, I will be an enemy to your enemies, and I will afflict those who afflict you.

23. And my Angel will go before you, and he will bring you to the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Canaanite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite, whom I will crush.

24. You shall not adore their gods, nor worship them. You shall not do their works, but you shall destroy them and break apart their statues.
