Shemot 34:14-23 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

14. For thou shalt worship no el acher; for Hashem, Whose Shem is Jealous, is El Kanah;

15. Lest thou make a brit with the inhabitants of HaAretz, and they go awhoring after eloheihem, and do sacrifice unto eloheihem, and one invite thee, and thou eat of his zevach (sacrifice, i.e., participate in his pagan worship);

16. And thou take of their banot unto thy banim, and their banot go a-whoring after their elohim, and make thy banim go a-whoring after their elohim.

17. Thou shalt make thee no elohei massekhah.

18. The Chag Hamatzot shalt thou be shomer over. Shivat yamim thou shalt eat matzot, as I commanded thee, in the mo'ed of the month Aviv; for in the month Aviv thou camest out from Mitzrayim.

19. All that openeth the rechem (womb) is Mine; and every firstling among thy cattle, whether ox or seh, that is zachar.

20. But the firstling of a donkey thou shalt redeem with a seh; and if thou redeem him not, then shalt thou break his neck. Kol bechor of thy banim thou shalt redeem. And none shall appear before Me empty.

21. Sheshet yamim thou shalt work, but on the yom hashevi'i thou shalt rest; in plowing and in harvest thou shalt rest.

22. And thou shalt observe Chag Shavu'os [Ac chp 2], with the firstfruits the ketzir chittim (wheat harvest), and the Chag HaAsif (Festival of Ingathering, Harvesttime [Yn chp 7]) shall be at the tekufat hashanah (changing, turning of the year).

23. Shalosh in the year shall all your men children appear before HaAdon Hashem Elohei Yisroel.
