16 Three times in a year shall all your males appear before Yahweh your 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 tents; and they shall not appear before Yahweh empty:
17 every man shall give as he is able, according to the blessing of Yahweh your God which he has given you.
18 Judges and officers shall you make you in all your gates, which Yahweh your God gives you, according to your tribes; and they shall judge the people with righteous judgment.
19 You shall not wrest justice: you shall not respect persons; neither shall you take a bribe; for a bribe does blind the eyes of the wise, and pervert the words of the righteous.
20 That which is altogether just shall you follow, that you may live, and inherit the land which Yahweh your God gives you.
21 You shall not plant you an Asherah of any kind of tree beside the altar of Yahweh your God, which you shall make you.
22 Neither shall you set you up a pillar; which Yahweh your God hates.
