5 The Passover offering is not to be put to death in any of the towns which the Lord your God gives you:
6 But in the place marked out by the Lord your God as the resting-place of his name, there you are to put the Passover to death in the evening, at sundown, at that time of the year when you came out of Egypt.
7 It is to be cooked and taken as food in the place marked out by the Lord: and in the morning you are to go back to your tents.
8 For six days let your food be unleavened bread; and on the seventh day there is to be a holy meeting to the Lord your God; no work is to be done.
9 Let seven weeks be numbered from the first day when the grain is cut.
10 Then keep the feast of weeks to the Lord your God, with an offering freely given to him from the wealth he has given you:
11 Then you are to be glad before the Lord your God, you and your son and your daughter, your man-servant and your woman-servant, and the Levite who is with you, and the man from a strange country, and the child without a father, and the widow, who are living among you, in the place marked out by the Lord your God as a resting-place for his name.
