Deuteronomy 16:4-13 Tree Of Life Version (TLV)

4. No hametz should be seen with you in all your territory for seven days, and none of the meat you sacrifice on the evening of the first day may be left overnight until the morning.

5. You may not sacrifice the Passover offering within any of your gates that Adonai your God is giving you.

6. Rather, at the place Adonai your God chooses to make His Name dwell, there you will sacrifice the Passover offering in the evening at sunset—the time of your coming out from Egypt.

7. You are to cook and eat it at the place Adonai your God chooses, then you will turn around in the morning and journey home.

8. For six days you are to eat matzot . On the seventh day there is to be a solemn gathering for Adonai your God—on it you are to do no work.

9. Seven weeks you are to count for yourself—from the time you begin to put the sickle to the standing grain you will begin to count seven weeks.

10. Then you will keep the Feast of Shavuot to Adonai your God with a measure of a freewill offering from your hand, which you are to give according to how Adonai your God blesses you.

11. So you will rejoice before Adonai your God in the place Adonai your God chooses to make His Name dwell—you, your son and daughter, slave and maid, Levite and outsider, orphan and widow in your midst.

12. You will remember that you were a slave in Egypt, and you are to take care and do these statutes.

13. “You are to keep the Feast of Sukkot for seven days, after gathering in the produce from your threshing floor and winepress.”
