11. `Observe for thyself that which I am commanding thee to-day: lo, I am casting out from before thee the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite;
12. take heed to thyself, lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitant of the land into which thou art going, lest it become a snare in thy midst;
13. for their altars ye break down, and their standing pillars ye shiver, and its shrines ye cut down;
14. for ye do not bow yourselves to another god--for Jehovah, whose name [is] Zealous, is a zealous God.
15. `Lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitant of the land, and they have gone awhoring after their gods, and have sacrificed to their gods, and [one] hath called to thee, and thou hast eaten of his sacrifice,
16. and thou hast taken of their daughters to thy sons, and their daughters have gone awhoring after their gods, and have caused thy sons to go a-whoring after their gods;
17. a molten god thou dost not make to thyself.
18. `The feast of unleavened things thou dost keep; seven days thou dost eat unleavened things, as I have commanded thee, at an appointed time, the month of Abib: for in the month of Abib thou didst come out from Egypt.
19. `All opening a womb [are] Mine, and every firstling of thy cattle born a male, ox or sheep;
20. and the firstling of an ass thou dost ransom with a lamb; and if thou dost not ransom, then thou hast beheaded it; every first-born of thy sons thou dost ransom, and they do not appear before Me empty.
21. `Six days thou dost work, and on the seventh day thou dost rest; in ploughing-time and in harvest thou dost rest.
22. `And a feast of weeks thou dost observe for thyself; first-fruits of wheat-harvest; and the feast of in-gathering, at the revolution of the year.
23. `Three times in a year do all thy males appear before the Lord Jehovah, God of Israel;
24. for I dispossess nations from before thee, and have enlarged thy border, and no man doth desire thy land in thy going up to appear before Jehovah thy God three times in a year.
25. `Thou dost not slaughter with a fermented thing the blood of My sacrifice; and the sacrifice of the feast of the passover doth not remain till morning:
26. the first of the first-fruits of the land thou dost bring into the house of Jehovah thy God; thou dost not boil a kid in its mother's milk.'
