Exodus 34:11-26


11 “1Be sure to keep what I am commanding you this day: behold, aI am going to drive out the Amorite before you, and the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite.
12 aBeware lest you cut a covenant with the inhabitants of the land into which you are going, lest it become a snare in your midst. 13 aBut rather, you are to tear down their altars and shatter their sacred pillars and cut down their 1bAsherim 14 —for ayou shall not worship any other god, for Yahweh, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God— 15 lest you cut a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, and they play the harlot with their gods and asacrifice to their gods, and one of them binvite you 1to eat of his sacrifice, 16 and ayou take some of his daughters for your sons, and his daughters play the harlot with their gods and cause your sons also to play the harlot with their gods. 17 aYou shall make for yourself no molten gods.
18 “You shall keep athe Feast of Unleavened Bread. For bseven days you shall eat unleavened bread, which I commanded you, at the appointed time in the cmonth of Abib, for in the month of Abib you came out of Egypt.

19 “aThe first offspring from every womb belongs to Me, even of all your male livestock, the first offspring from 1cattle and sheep.
20 aAnd you shall redeem with a lamb the 1first offspring from a donkey; and if you do not redeem it, then you shall break its neck. You shall redeem ball the firstborn of your sons. 2cNone shall appear before Me empty-handed.
21 “You shall work asix days, but on the seventh day you shall rest; even during plowing time and harvest you shall rest.
22 And you shall celebrate athe Feast of Weeks, that is, the first fruits of the wheat harvest, and the Feast of Ingathering at the turn of the year. 23 aThree times a year all your males are to appear before the Lord Yahweh, the God of Israel. 24 For I will adispossess nations before you and enlarge your borders, and no man shall covet your land when you go up three times a year to appear before Yahweh your God.
25 “aYou shall not 1offer the blood of My sacrifice with leavened bread, band the sacrifice of the Feast of the Passover shall not 2be left over until morning.

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