It|strong="H3588" was|strong="H3068" that|strong="H3588" night|strong="H3915" in|strong="H0430" Abib|strong="H0024" when|strong="H3588" the|strong="H0853" LORD|strong="H3068" your|strong="H3068" God|strong="H0430" brought|strong="H3318" you|strong="H3588" out|strong="H3318" of|strong="H0430" Egypt|strong="H4714".
2 You|strong="H0834" must go to|strong="H3068" the|strong="H0834" place|strong="H4725" the|strong="H0834" LORD|strong="H3068" your|strong="H3068" God|strong="H0430" will|strong="H3068" choose|strong="H0977" to|strong="H3068" be|strong="H8034" the|strong="H0834" home|strong="H4725" for|strong="H8033" his|strong="H3068" name|strong="H8034". There|strong="H8033" you|strong="H0834" must offer|strong="H2076" the|strong="H0834" Passover|strong="H6453" sacrifice|strong="H2076" to|strong="H3068" honor|strong="H8034" the|strong="H0834" LORD|strong="H3068".

This|strong="H3588" bread|strong="H3899" is|strong="H0776" called ‘Bread|strong="H3899" of|strong="H0776" Trouble.’ It|strong="H5921" will|strong="H0776" help you|strong="H3588" remember|strong="H2142" the|strong="H3605" troubles you|strong="H3588" had|strong="H3588" in|strong="H5921" Egypt|strong="H4714".

This|strong="H3588" is|strong="H0834" the|strong="H0853" festival|strong="H4150" when|strong="H3588" you|strong="H0834" remember that|strong="H0834" God|strong="H0430" brought|strong="H0935" you|strong="H0834" out|strong="H3318" of|strong="H0430" Egypt|strong="H4714".
7 You|strong="H0834" must cook|strong="H1310" the|strong="H0834" meal and|strong="H1980" eat|strong="H0398" it|strong="H0398" at|strong="H3068" the|strong="H0834" place|strong="H4725" the|strong="H0834" LORD|strong="H3068" your|strong="H3068" God|strong="H0430" will|strong="H3068" choose|strong="H0977".

10 Then|strong="H5414" celebrate|strong="H2282" the|strong="H0834" Festival|strong="H2282" of|strong="H0430" Harvest for|strong="H3027" the|strong="H0834" LORD|strong="H3068" your|strong="H3068" God|strong="H0430".

Decide how|strong="H0834" much|strong="H3027" to|strong="H3068" give|strong="H5414" by|strong="H3027" thinking about how|strong="H0834" much|strong="H3027" the|strong="H0834" LORD|strong="H3068" your|strong="H3068" God|strong="H0430" has|strong="H3068" blessed|strong="H1288" you|strong="H0834".

17 Each|strong="H0376" man|strong="H0376" should|strong="H0376" give|strong="H5414" as|strong="H0834" much|strong="H3027" as|strong="H0834" he|strong="H0834" can|strong="H0834".

19 You|strong="H3588" must|strong="H3947" always be|strong="H3808" fair.

20 Goodness and|strong="H3068" Fairness|strong="H6664"! You|strong="H0834" must|strong="H0853" try very hard to|strong="H3068" be|strong="H3068" good and|strong="H3068" fair all the|strong="H0853" time. Then|strong="H0853" you|strong="H0834" will|strong="H3068" live|strong="H2421" and|strong="H3068" keep the|strong="H0853" land|strong="H0776" that|strong="H0834" the|strong="H0853" LORD|strong="H3068" your|strong="H3068" God|strong="H0430" is|strong="H0834" giving|strong="H5414" you|strong="H0834".
