Exodus 23:10-19 - Regulations Regarding Work And Festivals
10 Plant your land and gather in what it produces for six years. 11 Let your land rest the seventh year. Do not harvest anything that grows on it. The poor may eat what grows there. The wild animals may have what is left. Do the same with your vineyards and your olive trees.
12 Work six days a week. Do no work on the seventh day. Allow your slaves and the foreigners who work for you and even your animals to rest.
13 Listen to everything Jehovah has said to you. Do not pray to other gods! Do not even mention their names.
14 Celebrate three festivals a year to honor me. 15 In the month of Abib, the month in which you left Egypt, celebrate the Festival of Unleavened Bread in the way that I commanded you. Do not eat any bread made with yeast during the seven days of this festival. Never come to worship me without bringing an offering. 16 Celebrate the Harvest Festival when you begin to harvest your crops. Celebrate the Festival of Shelters in the autumn, when you gather the fruit from your vineyards and orchards. 17 All your males should appear before Jehovah God three times a year.
18 Do not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leavened bread. Do not allow the fat of my feast to remain overnight until morning.
19 Bring the choice first fruits of your soil into the house of Jehovah your God. Do not boil a young goat in the milk of its mother.
