New Testament
Exodus 23:10-19
Laws About Sabbaths
10For six years you shall sow your land and gather in its produce, 11but during the seventh year you are to let it rest and lie fallow, so that the needy among your people may eat, and the animals in the fields can eat what they leave. You are to deal with your vineyard and with your olive grove in the same way.
12Six days you shall do your work, and on the seventh day you shall rest, so that your ox and your donkey will have rest, and so that the son of your female servant and the resident alien will be refreshed.
13Be careful to do all the things that I have said to you. Do not mention the name of other gods. Do not let their names come out of your mouth.
Laws About Festivals
14Three times a year you shall observe pilgrimage festivals for me:
15You shall observe the Festival of Unleavened Bread.[] For seven days you shall eat bread without yeast, as I commanded you, at the appointed time in the month of Abib (for during that month you came out from Egypt). No one is to appear before me empty-handed.
16Next observe the Festival of Reaping[] by presenting the first ripe produce of your labors, which you sow in the field.
Finally, observe the Festival of Ingathering,[] at the end of the year, when you pick the fruits of your labors from the fields. 17Three times a year all your males shall appear before the Lord God.
18You shall not offer any bread made with yeast together with the blood of my sacrifices. None of the fat from my festival shall remain until morning. 19The very first produce from your soil you shall bring into the house of the Lord your God.
You shall not boil a baby goat in its mother's milk.
Lord
