Exodus 23:14-27 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

14. "Three times a year you shall celebrate a feast to Me.

15. You shall observe the Feast of Unleavened Bread; for seven days you are to eat unleavened bread, as I commanded you, at the appointed time in the month Abib, for in it you came out of Egypt. And none shall appear before Me empty-handed.

16. Also you shall observe the Feast of the Harvest of the first fruits of your labors from what you sow in the field; also the Feast of the Ingathering at the end of the year when you gather in the fruit of your labors from the field.

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

18. "You shall not offer the blood of My sacrifice with leavened bread; nor is the fat of My feast to remain overnight until morning.

19. "You shall bring the choice first fruits of your soil into the house of the Lord your God. "You are not to boil a young goat in the milk of its mother.

20. "Behold, I am going to send an angel before you to guard you along the way and to bring you into the place which I have prepared.

21. Be on your guard before him and obey his voice; do not be rebellious toward him, for he will not pardon your transgression, since My name is in him.

22. But if you truly obey his voice and do all that I say, then I will be an enemy to your enemies and an adversary to your adversaries.

23. For My angel will go before you and bring you in to the land of the Amorites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Canaanites, the Hivites and the Jebusites; and I will completely destroy them.

24. You shall not worship their gods, nor serve them, nor do according to their deeds; but you shall utterly overthrow them and break their sacred pillars in pieces.

25. But you shall serve the Lord your God, and He will bless your bread and your water; and I will remove sickness from your midst.

26. There shall be no one miscarrying or barren in your land; I will fulfill the number of your days.

27. I will send My terror ahead of you, and throw into confusion all the people among whom you come, and I will make all your enemies turn their backs to you.
