15. “Don’t make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, lest they play the prostitute after their gods, and sacrifice to their gods, and one call you and you eat of his sacrifice;

16. and you take of their daughters to your sons, and their daughters play the prostitute after their gods, and make your sons play the prostitute after their gods.

17. “You shall make no cast idols for yourselves.

18. “You shall keep the feast of unleavened bread. Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread, as I commanded you, at the time appointed in the month Abib; for in the month Abib you came out of Egypt.

19. “All that opens the womb is mine; and all your livestock that is male, the firstborn of cow and sheep.

20. You shall redeem the firstborn of a donkey with a lamb. If you will not redeem it, then you shall break its neck. You shall redeem all the firstborn of your sons. No one shall appear before me empty.

21. “Six days you shall work, but on the seventh day you shall rest: in plowing time and in harvest you shall rest.

22. “You shall observe the feast of weeks with the first fruits of wheat harvest, and the feast of harvest at the year’s end.

23. Three times in the year all your males shall appear before the Lord Yahweh, the God of Israel.

24. For I will drive out nations before you and enlarge your borders; neither shall any man desire your land when you go up to appear before Yahweh, your God, three times in the year.

25. “You shall not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leavened bread. The sacrifice of the feast of the Passover shall not be left to the morning.

26. “You shall bring the first of the first fruits of your ground to the house of Yahweh your God. “You shall not boil a young goat in its mother’s milk.”

27. Yahweh said to Moses, “Write you these words: for in accordance with these words I have made a covenant with you and with Israel.”

28. He was there with Yahweh forty days and forty nights; he neither ate bread, nor drank water. He wrote on the tablets the words of the covenant, the ten commandments.

29. When Moses came down from Mount Sinai with the two tablets of the testimony in Moses’ hand, when he came down from the mountain, Moses didn’t know that the skin of his face shone by reason of his speaking with him.

30. When Aaron and all the children of Israel saw Moses, behold, the skin of his face shone; and they were afraid to come near him.

31. Moses called to them, and Aaron and all the rulers of the congregation returned to him; and Moses spoke to them.

32. Afterward all the children of Israel came near, and he gave them all the commandments that Yahweh had spoken with him on Mount Sinai.
