Exodus 23:15-26 English Standard Version (ESV)

15. You shall keep the Feast of Unleavened Bread. As I commanded you, you shall eat unleavened bread for seven days at the appointed time in the month of Abib, for in it you came out of Egypt. None shall appear before me empty-handed.

16. You shall keep the Feast of Harvest, of the firstfruits of your labor, of what you sow in the field. You shall keep the Feast of Ingathering at the end of the year, when you gather in from the field the fruit of your labor.

17. Three times in the year shall all your males appear before the Lord God.

18. “You shall not offer the blood of my sacrifice with anything leavened, or let the fat of my feast remain until the morning.

19. “The best of the firstfruits of your ground you shall bring into the house of the Lord your God. “You shall not boil a young goat in its mother’s milk.

20. “Behold, I send an angel before you to guard you on the way and to bring you to the place that I have prepared.

21. Pay careful attention to him and obey his voice; do not rebel against him, for he will not pardon your transgression, for my name is in him.

22. “But if you carefully obey his voice and do all that I say, then I will be an enemy to your enemies and an adversary to your adversaries.

23. “When my angel goes before you and brings you to the Amorites and the Hittites and the Perizzites and the Canaanites, the Hivites and the Jebusites, and I blot them out,

24. you shall not bow down to their gods nor serve them, nor do as they do, but you shall utterly overthrow them and break their pillars in pieces.

25. You shall serve the Lord your God, and he will bless your bread and your water, and I will take sickness away from among you.

26. None shall miscarry or be barren in your land; I will fulfill the number of your days.
