The feast of sweet bread shalt thou keep, and seven days thou shalt eat
unleavened bread (as I commanded thee) in the time appointed in the
month of Abib: for in the month of Abib thou camest out of Egypt. All
that breaketh up the matrice shall be mine, and all that breaketh the
matrice among thy cattle, if it be male: whether it be ox or sheep. But
the first of the ass thou shalt buy out with a sheep, or if thou redeem
him not: see thou break his neck. All the firstborn of thy sons thou
must needs redeem. And see that no man appear before me empty. Six days
thou shalt work, and the seventh thou shalt rest: both from earing and
reaping. Thou shalt observe the feast of weeks with the first fruits of
wheat harvest, and the feast of ingathering at the year's end. Thrice
in a year shall all your men children appear before the Lord Iehouah
God of Israel: for I will cast out the nations before thee and will
enlarge thy coasts, so that no man shall desire thy land, while thou
goest up to appear before the face of the LORD thy God, thrice in the
year. Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leavened
bread: neither shall ought of the sacrifice of the feast of Passover,
be left unto the morning. The first of the first fruits of thy land,
thou shalt bring unto the house of the LORD thy God. And see, that thou
seethe not a kid in his mother's milk. And the LORD said unto Moses:
write these words, for upon these words I have made a covenant with
thee and with the children of Israel. And he was there with the LORD
forty days and forty nights, and neither ate bread nor drank water. And
he wrote in the tables the words of the covenant: even ten verses. And
Moses came down from mount Sinai and the two tables of witness in his
hand, and yet he wist not that the skin of his face shone with beams of
his communing with him. And when Aaron and all the children of Israel
looked upon Moses and saw that the skin of his face shone with beams,
they were afraid to come nye him. But he called them to him, and then
Aaron and all the chief of the company came unto him, and Moses talked
with them. And at the last all the children of Israel came unto him,
and he commanded them all that the LORD had said unto him in mount
Sinai. And as soon as he had made an end of communing with them, he put
a covering upon his face. But when he went before the LORD to speak
with him, he took the covering off until he came out. And he came out
and spake unto the children of Israel that which he was commanded. And
the children of Israel saw the face of Moses, that the skin of his face
shone with beams: but Moses put a covering upon his face, until he went
in, to commune with him.
