The poor of your people may eat from it, and the wild animals may eat what they leave. You are to do the same with your vineyards and olive groves.H7637H8058H5203H34H5971H398H3499H2416H7704H398H6213H3754H2132 12You are to do your work for six days, but on the seventh day you are to refrain from work so that your ox and donkey may rest, and so the son of your maidservant and the alien may be refreshed.H8337H3117H6213H4639H7637H3117H7673H7794H2543H5117H1121H519H1616H5314 13"Be careful about everything I've told you, and don't mention the name of other gods. Don't let them be heard in your mouth!H559H8104H2142H8034H312H430H8085H5921H6310 14"Three times a year you are to celebrate a festival for me.H7969H7272H2287H8141 15You are to observe the Festival of Unleavened Bread. As I commanded you, you are to eat unleavened bread for seven days at the appointed time in the month Abib, for in it you came out of Egypt. No one shall appear before me empty handed.H8104H2282H4682H398H4682H7651H3117H6680H4150H2320H24H3318H4714H7200H6440H7387 16You are to observe the Festival of Harvest, celebrating the first fruits of your work in planting the field, and the Festival of Ingathering at the end of the year, when you gather the fruit of your work from the field.H2282H7105H1061H4639H2232H7704H2282H614H3318H8141H622H4639H7704 17Three times a year all your males shall appear in the presence of the Lord God."H7969H6471H8141H2138H7200H6440H113H3068 18"You are not to offer the blood of my sacrifice with anything leavened, and you are not to let the fat portion of my sacrifice remain overnight until morning.H2076H1818H2077H2557H2459H2282H3885H1242 19"You are to bring the best of the first fruits of your soil to the house of the Lord your God. "You are not to boil a young goat in its mother's milk."H7225H1061H127H935H1004H3068H430H1310H1423H517H2461 20"Look, I'm sending an angel in front of you to guard you on the way and to bring you to the place I've prepared.H7971H4397H6440H8104H1870H935H4725H3559 21Be careful in his presence - be sure to obey him. Don't rebel against him, for he won't forgive your transgression, since my name is in him.H8104H6440H8085H6963H4843H5375H6588H8034H7130 22Indeed, if you carefully obey him and do everything that I say, then I'll be an enemy to your enemies and an adversary to your adversaries.H8085H8085H6963H6213H1696H340H341H6887H6696 23For my angel will go ahead of you and will bring you to the Amorites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Canaanites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, and I'll annihilate them.H4397H3212H6440H935H567H2850H6522H3669H2340H2983H3582 24You are not to bow down to their gods or serve them. You are not to follow their practices, but you are to completely overthrow them and smash their sacred stones to pieces.H7812H430H5647H6213H4639H2040H2040H7665H7665H4676 25You are to serve the Lord your God, and he will bless your food and water, and I'll remove sickness from you.H5647H3068H430H1288H3899H4325H5493H4245H5493H7130 26No woman will miscarry or be barren in your land, and I'll make every day of your life complete.24H7921H6135H776H4557H3117H4390 27"I'll go ahead of you and terrorize all the people to whom you are coming. I'll confuse your enemies and make them turn their backs on you and run away.H7971H367H6440H2000H5971H935H5414H341H6203 28I'll send hornets ahead of you and they'll drive out the Hivites, the Canaanites, and the Hittites before you.H7971H6880H6440H1644H2340H3669H2850H6440 29I won't drive them out before you in a single year, so that the land does not become desolate and so that wild do not overrun you.H1644H6440H259H8141H776H8077H2416H7704H7227 30I'll drive them out ahead of you little by little until you increase in numbers and possess the land.2328H4592H4592H1644H6440H6509H5157H776 31"I'll set your borders from the Reed Sea to the Sea of the Philistines, and from the desert to the Euphrates River, for I'll bring the inhabitants of the land under your control, and you are to drive them out ahead of you.H7896H1366H5488H3220H3220H6430H4057H5104H5414H3427H776H3027H1644H6440 32You are not to make a covenant with them or with their gods.H3772H1285H430 33They shall not live in your land. Otherwise they will cause you to sin against me. If you worship their gods, it will become a snare for you."H3427H776H2398H5647H430H4170
