New Testament

Exodus 34:14-22 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

14. You shall not bow down to any other god, for the Lord—“Jealous” his name—is a jealous God.

15. Do not make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land; else, when they prostitute themselves with their gods and sacrifice to them, one of them may invite you and you may partake of the sacrifice.

16. And when you take their daughters as wives for your sons, and their daughters prostitute themselves with their gods, they will make your sons do the same.

17. You shall not make for yourselves molten gods.

18. You shall keep the festival of Unleavened Bread. For seven days at the appointed time in the month of Abib you are to eat unleavened bread, as I commanded you; for in the month of Abib you came out of Egypt.

19. To me belongs every male that opens the womb among all your livestock, whether in the herd or in the flock.

20. The firstling of a donkey you shall redeem with a lamb; if you do not redeem it, you must break its neck. The firstborn among your sons you shall redeem.No one shall appear before me empty-handed.

21. Six days you may labor, but on the seventh day you shall rest; even during the seasons of plowing and harvesting you must rest.

22. You shall keep the feast of Weeks with the first fruits of the wheat harvest, likewise, the feast of the Ingathering at the close of the year.
