- [font style="font-family:papyrus,'Brush Script MT','Infindel B',fantasy;" size=4 color=teal]Take care not to make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land to which you are going, or it will become a snare among you. You shall tear down their altars, break their pillars, and cut down their sacred poles[c] (for you shall worship no other god, because the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God). [/font]
- [font style="font-family:papyrus,'Brush Script MT','Infindel B',fantasy;" size=4 color=teal]You shall not make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, for when they prostitute themselves to their gods and sacrifice to their gods, someone among them will invite you, and you will eat of the sacrifice. And you will take wives from among their daughters for your sons, and their daughters who prostitute themselves to their gods will make your sons also prostitute themselves to their gods.[/font]
- [font style="font-family:papyrus,'Brush Script MT','Infindel B',fantasy;" size=4 color=teal]You shall not make cast idols.[/font]
- [font style="font-family:papyrus,'Brush Script MT','Infindel B',fantasy;" size=4 color=teal]You shall keep the festival of unleavened bread. Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread, as I commanded you, at the time appointed in the month of Abib; for in the month of Abib you came out from Egypt.[/font]
- [font style="font-family:papyrus,'Brush Script MT','Infindel B',fantasy;" size=4 color=teal]All that first opens the womb is mine, all your male[d] livestock, the firstborn of cow and sheep. The firstborn of a donkey you shall redeem with a lamb, or if you will not redeem it you shall break its neck. All the firstborn of your sons you shall redeem.
No one shall appear before me empty-handed.[/font] - [font style="font-family:papyrus,'Brush Script MT','Infindel B',fantasy;" size=4 color=teal]Six days you shall work, but on the seventh day you shall rest; even in plowing time and in harvest time you shall rest.[/font]
- [font style="font-family:papyrus,'Brush Script MT','Infindel B',fantasy;" size=4 color=teal]You shall observe the festival of weeks, the first fruits of wheat harvest, and the festival of ingathering at the turn of the year. Three times in the year all your males shall appear before the Lord God, the God of Israel. For I will cast out nations before you, and enlarge your borders; no one shall covet your land when you go up to appear before the Lord your God three times in the year.[/font]
- [font style="font-family:papyrus,'Brush Script MT','Infindel B',fantasy;" size=4 color=teal]You shall not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leaven, and the sacrifice of the festival of the passover shall not be left until the morning.[/font]
- [font style="font-family:papyrus,'Brush Script MT','Infindel B',fantasy;" size=4 color=teal]The best of the first fruits of your ground you shall bring to the house of the Lord your God.[/font]
- [font style="font-family:papyrus,'Brush Script MT','Infindel B',fantasy;" size=4 color=teal]You shall not boil a kid in its mothers milk.[/font]
