13 You shall observe the Feast of Booths seven days, when you have gathered from your threshing floor and from your winepress. 14 And you shall rejoice in your feast—you, and your son, and your daughter, and your manservant, and your maidservant, and the Levite, and the sojourner, and the fatherless, and the widow who is within your gates. 15 Seven days you shall celebrate a feast to YHWH your God in the place that YHWH chooses, because YHWH your God will bless you in all your produce and in all the work of your hands, and your joy will be complete. 16 Three times in a year all your males shall appear before the face of YHWH your God in the place that He chooses: At the Feast of the Unleavened, and at the Feast of Weeks, and at the Feast of Booths. And they shall not appear before the face of YHWH emptily— 17 a man as he is able, according to the blessing of YHWH your God that He has given you. 18 You shall appoint judges and officers to you within all your gates that YHWH your God gives to you, according to your tribes, and they shall judge the people with righteous judgment. 19 You shall not twist justice; you shall not show partiality nor take a bribe, for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and twists the words of the righteous. 20 Justice and justice alone you shall pursue, that you may live and inherit the land that YHWH your God is giving to you. 21 You shall not plant for yourself an Asherah pole of any tree near the altar of YHWH your God that you build for yourself. 22 And you shall not set up a sacred pillar, which YHWH your God hates.
