Deuteronomy 16:6-13 English Standard Version (ESV)

6. but at the place that the Lord your God will choose, to make his name dwell in it, there you shall offer the Passover sacrifice, in the evening at sunset, at the time you came out of Egypt.

7. And you shall cook it and eat it at the place that 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 count the seven weeks from the time the sickle is first put to the standing grain.

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

11. And you shall rejoice before the Lord your God, you and your son and your daughter, your male servant and your female servant, the Levite who is within your towns, the sojourner, the fatherless, and the widow who are among you, at the place that the Lord your God will choose, to make his name dwell there.

12. You shall remember that you were a slave in Egypt; and you shall be careful to observe these statutes.

13. “You shall keep the Feast of Booths seven days, when you have gathered in the produce from your threshing floor and your winepress.
