Exodus 23:10-19 - Regulations Regarding Work And Festivals
10 "Six years thou shalt sow thy land and gather in the fruits thereof: 11 and the seventh year thou shalt let it rest and lie still, that the poor of thy people may eat, and what they leave, the beasts of the field shall eat: In like manner thou shalt do with thy vineyard and thine olive trees.
12 Six days thou shalt do thy work and the seventh day thou shalt keep holy day, that thine ox and thine ass may rest and the son of thy maid and the stranger may be refreshed.
13 And in all things that I have said unto you, be circumspect. And make no rehearsal of the names of strange gods, neither let any man hear them out of your mouths.
14 "Three feasts thou shalt hold unto me in a year. 15 Thou shalt keep the feast of sweet bread, that thou eat unleavened bread seven days long as I commanded thee in the time appointed of the month of Abib, for in that month thou camest out of Egypt: and see that no man appear before me empty. 16 And the feast of Harvest, when thou reapest the first fruits of thy labors which thou hast sown in the field. And the feast of ingathering, in the end of the year: when thou hast gathered in thy labors out of the field. 17 "Three times in a year shall all thy men children appear before the Lord Jehovah.
18 "Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leavened bread; neither shall the fat of my feast remain until the morning.
19 The first of the firstfruits of thy land thou shalt bring into the house of the LORD thy God. Thou shalt also not seethe a kid in his mother's milk.
