13. “And in all that I have said to you take heed. And make no mention of the name of other mighty ones, let it not be heard from your mouth.
14. “Three times in the year you are to observe a festival to Me:
15. “Guard the Festival of Unleavened Bread. Seven days you eat unleavened bread, as I commanded you, at the time appointed in the month of Aḇiḇ – for in it you came out of Mitsrayim – and do not appear before Me empty-handed;
16. and the Festival of the Harvest, the first-fruits of your labours which you have sown in the field; and the Festival of the Ingathering at the outgoing of the year, when you have gathered in the fruit of your labours from the field.
17. “Three times in the year all your males are to appear before the Master יהוה.
18. “Do not offer the blood of My slaughtering with leavened bread, and the fat of My offering shall not remain until morning.
19. “Bring the first of the first-fruits of your land into the House of יהוה your Elohim. Do not cook a young goat in its mother’s milk.
20. “See, I am sending a Messenger before you to guard you in the way and to bring you into the place which I have prepared.
21. “Be on guard before Him and obey His voice. Do not rebel against Him, for He is not going to pardon your transgression, for My Name is in Him.
22. “But if you diligently obey His voice and shall do all that I speak, then I shall be an enemy to your enemies and a distresser to those who distress you.
23. “For My Messenger shall go before you and shall bring you in to the Amorites and the Ḥittites and the Perizzites and the Kena‛anites and the Ḥiwwites and the Yeḇusites, and I shall cut them off.
24. “Do not bow down to their mighty ones, nor serve them, nor do according to their works, but without fail overthrow them and without fail break down their pillars.
25. “And you shall serve יהוה your Elohim, and He shall bless your bread and your water. And I shall remove sickness from your midst.
26. “None shall miscarry or be barren in your land. I shall fill the number of your days.
27. “I shall send My fear before you, and cause confusion among all the people to whom you come, and make all your enemies turn their backs to you.
