12
Take heed to yourself, lest you make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land where you are going, lest it be a snare in your midst.
13
But you shall destroy their altars, break their sacred pillars, and cut down their wooden images
14
(for you shall worship no other god, for the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God),
15
lest you make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, and they play the harlot with their gods and make sacrifice to their gods, and one of them invites you and you eat of his sacrifice,
16
and you take of his daughters for your sons, and his daughters play the harlot with their gods and make your sons play the harlot with their gods.
17
You shall make no molded gods for yourselves.
18
"The Feast of Unleavened Bread you shall keep. Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread, as I commanded you, in the appointed time of the month of Abib; for in the month of Abib you came out from Egypt.
19
All that open the womb are Mine, and every male firstborn among your livestock, whether ox or sheep.
20
But the firstborn of a donkey you shall redeem with a lamb. And if you will not redeem him, then you shall break his neck. All the firstborn of your sons you shall redeem. And none shall appear before Me empty-handed.
21
"Six days you shall work, but on the seventh day you shall rest; in plowing time and in harvest you shall rest.
22
And you shall observe the Feast of Weeks, of the firstfruits of wheat harvest, and the Feast of Ingathering at the year's end.
