(19) You shall consecrate to your God יהוה all male firstlings that are born in your herd and in your flock: you must not work your firstling ox or shear your firstling sheep. (20) You and your household shall eat it annually before your God יהוה in the place that יהוה will choose. (21) But if it has a defect, lameness or blindness, any serious defect, you shall not sacrifice it to your God יהוה. (22) Eat it in your settlements, the impure among you no less than the pure, just like the gazelle and the deer. (23) Only you must not partake of its blood; you shall pour it out on the ground like water.

(1) Observe the month of Abib and offer a passover sacrifice to your God יהוה, for it was in the month of Abib, at night, that your God יהוה freed you from Egypt. (2) You shall slaughter the passover sacrifice for your God יהוה, from the flock and the herd, in the place where יהוה will choose to establish the divine name. (3) You shall not eat anything leavened with it; for seven days thereafter you shall eat unleavened bread, bread of distress—for you departed from the land of Egypt hurriedly—so that you may remember the day of your departure from the land of Egypt as long as you live.

(4) For seven days no leaven shall be found with you in all your territory, and none of the flesh of what you slaughter on the evening of the first day shall be left until morning. (5) You are not permitted to slaughter the passover sacrifice in any of the settlements that your God יהוה is giving you; (6) but at the place where your God יהוה will choose to establish the divine name, there alone shall you slaughter the passover sacrifice, in the evening, at sundown, the time of day when you departed from Egypt. (7) You shall cook and eat it at the place that your God יהוה will choose; and in the morning you may start back on your journey home. (8) After eating unleavened bread six days, you shall hold a solemn gathering for your God יהוה on the seventh day: you shall do no work.

(9) You shall count off seven weeks; start to count the seven weeks when the sickle is first put to the standing grain. (10) Then you shall observe the Feast of Weeks for your God יהוה, offering your freewill contribution according as your God יהוה has blessed you. (11) You shall rejoice before your God יהוה with your son and daughter, your male and female slave, the [family of the] Levite in your communities, and the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow in your midst, at the place where your God יהוה will choose to establish the divine name. (12) Bear in mind that you were slaves in Egypt, and take care to obey these laws.

(13) After the ingathering from your threshing floor and your vat, you shall hold the Feast of Booths for seven days. (14) You shall rejoice in your festival, with your son and daughter, your male and female slave, the [family of the] Levite, the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow in your communities. (15) You shall hold a festival for your God יהוה seven days, in the place that יהוה will choose; for your God יהוה will bless all your crops and all your undertakings, and you shall have nothing but joy. (16) Three times a year—on the Feast of Unleavened Bread, on the Feast of Weeks, and on the Feast of Booths—all your males shall appear before your God יהוה in the place that [God] will choose. They shall not appear before יהוה empty-handed, (17) but each with his own gift, according to the blessing that your God יהוה has bestowed upon you.

(26) On the day of the first fruits, your Feast of Weeks, when you bring an offering of new grain to יהוה, you shall observe a sacred occasion: you shall not work at your occupations. (27) You shall present a burnt offering of pleasing odor to יהוה: two bulls of the herd, one ram, seven yearling lambs. (28) The meal offering with them shall be of choice flour with oil mixed in, three-tenths of a measure for a bull, two-tenths for a ram, (29) and one-tenth for each of the seven lambs. (30) And there shall be one goat for expiation in your behalf. (31) You shall present them—see that they are without blemish—with their libations, in addition to the regular burnt offering and its meal offering.

(1) A prayer of the prophet Habakkuk. In the mode of Shigionoth. (2) O ETERNAL One! I have learned of Your renown;I am awed, O ETERNAL One, by Your deeds.Renew them in these years,Oh, make them known in these years!Though angry, may You remember compassion. (3) God is coming from Teman,The Holy One from Mount Paran. Selah. God’s majesty covers the skies,Such splendor fills the earth: (4) It is a brilliant lightThat gives off rays on every side—And therein God’s glory is enveloped. (5) Pestilence marches in front,And plague comes forth at God’s heels. (6) God’s standing up makes the earth shake; A mere glance makes nations tremble.The age-old mountains are shattered,The primeval hills sink low.God’s routes are ancient: (7) As a scene of havoc I behold The tents of Cushan;Shaken are the pavilionsOf the land of Midian! (8) Are You wroth, O ETERNAL One, with Neharim?Is Your anger against Neharim,Your rage against Yam—That You are driving Your steeds,Your victorious chariot? (9) All bared and ready is Your bow.Sworn are the rods of the word. Selah.You make the earth burst into streams, (10) The mountains rock at the sight of You,A torrent of rain comes down;Loud roars the deep,The sky returns the echo. (11) Sun [and] moon stand still on highAs Your arrows fly in brightness,Your flashing spear in brilliance. (12) You tread the earth in rage,You trample nations in fury. (13) You have come forth to deliver Your people,To deliver Your anointed. You will smash the roof of the villain’s house,Raze it from foundation to top. Selah. (14) You will crack [the enemy’s] skull with Your bludgeon;Blown away shall be his warriors,Whose delight is to crush me suddenly,To devour a pauper in an ambush. (15) You will make Your steeds tread the sea,Stirring the mighty waters. (16) I heard and my bowels quaked,My lips quivered at the sound;Rot entered into my bone,I trembled where I stood.Yet I wait calmly for the day of distress,For a people to come to attack us. (17) Though the fig tree does not budAnd no yield is on the vine,Though the olive crop has failedAnd the fields produce no grain,Though sheep have vanished from the foldAnd no cattle are in the pen, (18) Yet will I rejoice in GOD,Exult in the God who delivers me. (19) The Sovereign GOD is my strength,Making my feet like the deer’sAnd letting me stride upon the heights.For the leader; with instrumental music.

(20) But GOD in the holy Abode—Be silent before [God], all the earth! (1) A prayer of the prophet Habakkuk. In the mode of Shigionoth. (2) O ETERNAL One!
