Exodus 23:12-17 New Century Version (NCV)

12. “You should work six days a week, but on the seventh day you must rest. This lets your ox and your donkey rest, and it also lets the slave born in your house and the foreigner be refreshed.

13. “Be sure to do all that I have said to you. You must not even say the names of other gods; those names must not come out of your mouth.

14. “Three times each year you must hold a feast to honor me.

15. You must celebrate the Feast of Unleavened Bread in the way I commanded you. For seven days you must eat bread that is made without yeast at the set time during the month of Abib, the month when you came out of Egypt. No one is to come to worship me without bringing an offering.

16. “You must celebrate the Feast of Weeks. Offer to God the first things you harvest from the crops you planted in your fields.“You must celebrate the Feast of Shelters in the fall, when you gather all the crops from your fields.

17. “So three times during every year all your males must come to worship the Lord God.
