New Testament

Deuter­­onomy 16:6-14 Modern English Version (MEV)

6. But at the place where the Lord your God chooses to place His name, there you shall sacrifice the Passover in the evening at sunset, at the time that you came out of Egypt.

7. You shall roast and eat it in the place where the Lord your God will choose, and you must return in the morning, and go to your tents.

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

9. You must count seven weeks for yourself. Begin counting the seven weeks from the time you begin to put the sickle to the standing grain.

10. You must keep the Feast of Weeks to the Lord your God with a tribute of a freewill offering from your hand, which you must give to the Lord your God, in proportion to how much the Lord your God has blessed you.

11. You shall rejoice before the Lord your God—you, your son, your daughter, your male servant, your female servant, the Levite who is within your gates, the foreigner, the orphan, and the widow who are among you—in the place where the Lord your God has chosen to place His name.

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

13. You shall observe the Feast of Tabernacles seven days after you have gathered in your threshing floor and your winepress,

14. and you shall rejoice in your feast, you, your son, your daughter, your male servant, your female servant, the Levite, the foreigner, the orphan, and the widow who are within your gates.
