New Testament

Exodus 34:15-24 New English Translation (NET)

15. Be careful not to make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, for when they prostitute themselves to their gods and sacrifice to their gods, and someone invites you, you will eat from his sacrifice;

16. and you then take his daughters for your sons, and when his daughters prostitute themselves to their gods, they will make your sons prostitute themselves to their gods as well.

17. You must not make yourselves molten gods.

18. “You must keep the Feast of Unleavened Bread. For seven days you must eat bread made without yeast, as I commanded you; do this at the appointed time of the month Abib, for in the month Abib you came out of Egypt.

19. “Every firstborn of the womb belongs to me, even every firstborn of your cattle that is a male, whether ox or sheep.

20. Now the firstling of a donkey you may redeem with a lamb, but if you do not redeem it, then break its neck. You must redeem all the firstborn of your sons.“No one will appear before me empty-handed.

21. “On six days you may labor, but on the seventh day you must rest; even at the time of plowing and of harvest you are to rest.

22. “You must observe the Feast of Weeks – the firstfruits of the harvest of wheat – and the Feast of Ingathering at the end of the year.

23. At three times in the year all your men must appear before the Lord God, the God of Israel.

24. For I will drive out the nations before you and enlarge your borders; no one will covet your land when you go up to appear before the Lord your God three times in the year.
