Deuteronomy 16:3-11

New International Version

³ Do not eat it with bread made with yeast, but for seven days eat unleavened bread, the bread of affliction,^(A) because you left Egypt in haste^(B)—so that all the days of your life you may remember the time of your departure from Egypt.^{(C) 4} Let no yeast be found in your possession in all your land for seven days. Do not let any of the meat you sacrifice on the evening^(D) of the first day remain until morning.^(E)

⁵ You must not sacrifice the Passover in any town the Lord your God gives you ⁶ except in the place he will choose as a dwelling for his Name. There you must sacrifice the Passover in the evening, when the sun goes down, on the anniversary^[a](F) of your departure from Egypt. ⁷ Roast^(G) it and eat it at the place the Lord your God will choose. Then in the morning return to your tents. ⁸ For six days eat unleavened bread and on the seventh day hold an assembly^(H) to the Lord your God and do no work.^(I)

The Festival of Weeks^(J)

⁹ Count off seven weeks^(K) from the time you begin to put the sickle to the standing grain.^{(L) 10} Then celebrate the Festival of Weeks to the Lord your God by giving a freewill offering in proportion to the blessings the Lord your God has given you. ¹¹ And rejoice^(M) before the Lord your God at the place he will choose as a dwelling for his Name^(N)—you, your sons and daughters, your male and female servants, the Levites^(O) in your towns, and the foreigners,^(P) the fatherless and the widows living among you.^(Q)
