Deuteronomy 16:8-12 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

8. Eat bread made without yeast for six days. On the seventh day have a special meeting for the Lord your God. Do not work that day.

9. Count seven weeks from the time you begin to harvest the grain.

10. Then celebrate the Feast of Weeks for the Lord your God. Bring him an offering as a special gift to him. Give to him just as he has blessed you.

11. Rejoice before the Lord your God. Rejoice at the place he will choose to be worshiped. Everybody should rejoice: you, your sons and daughters, your male and female servants, the Levites in your town, the strangers, orphans and widows living among you.

12. Remember that you were slaves in Egypt. And carefully obey all these laws.
