Deuteronomy 16:13-22

[13] Thou shalt observe  the feast  of tabernacles  seven  days,  after that thou hast gathered  in thy corn  and thy wine:  [14] And thou shalt rejoice  in thy feast,  thou, and thy son,  and thy daughter,  and thy manservant,  and thy maidservant,  and the Levite,  the stranger,  and the fatherless,  and the widow,  that are within thy gates.  [15] Seven  days  shalt thou keep a solemn feast  unto the LORD  thy God  in the place  which the LORD  shall choose:  because the LORD  thy God  shall bless  thee in all thine increase,  and in all the works  of thine hands,  therefore thou shalt surely rejoice.  [16] Three  times  in a year  shall all thy males  appear  before  the LORD  thy God  in the place  which he shall choose;  in the feast  of unleavened bread,  and in the feast  of weeks,  and in the feast  of tabernacles:  and they shall not appear  before  the LORD  empty:  [17] Every man  shall give as he is able,  according to the blessing  of the LORD  thy God  which he hath given  thee. [18] Judges  and officers  shalt thou make  thee in all thy gates,  which the LORD  thy God  giveth  thee, throughout thy tribes:  and they shall judge  the people  with just  judgment.  [19] Thou shalt not wrest  judgment;  thou shalt not respect  persons,  neither take  a gift:  doth blind  the eyes  of the wise,  and pervert  the words  of the righteous.  [20] That which is altogether  shalt thou follow,  that thou mayest live,  and inherit  the land  which the LORD  thy God  giveth  thee. [21] Thou shalt not plant  thee a grove  of any trees  near unto  the altar  of the LORD  thy God,  which thou shalt make  thee. [22] Neither shalt thou set thee up  any image;  which the LORD  thy God  hateth.
