Hebrew

כָּל־הַבְּכוֹר אֲשֶׁר יִוָּלֵד בִּבְקָרְךָ וּבְצֹאנְךָ הַזָּכָר תַּקְדִּישׁ לַיהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ לֹא
תַעֲבֹד בִּבְכֹר שׁוֹרֶךָ וְלֹא תָגֹז בְּכוֹר צֹאנֶךָ׃ לִפְנֵי יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ תֹּאכְלֶנּוּ שָׁנָה
בְּשָׁנָה בַּמָּקוֹם אֲשֶׁר־יִבְחַר יְהוָה אַתָּה וּבֵיתֶךָ׃ וְכִי־יִהְיֶה בוֹ מוּם פִּסֵּחַ אוֹ
עִוֵּר כֹּל מוּם רָע לֹא תִזְבָּחֶנּוּ לַיהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ׃ בִּשְׁעָרֶיךָ תֹּאכְלֶנּוּ הַטָּמֵא
וְהַטָּהוֹר יַחְדָּו כַּצְּבִי וְכָאַיָּל׃ רַק אֶת־דָּמוֹ לֹא תֹאכַל עַל־הָאָרֶץ תִּשְׁפְּכֶנּוּ
כַּמָּיִם׃

Every male firstborn that is delivered among your herd and your flock, you shall consecrate to the LORD your God: you may not perform work with the male firstborn of your oxen, nor shear the male firstborn of your sheep. You shall eat them in the presence of the LORD your God each year, you and your household, in the place which the LORD will choose. If it is blemished: lame or blind, or with any other serious blemish, you may not offer it to the LORD your God. Eat it within your gates; [it may be eaten by] pure and impure alike, as the gazelle and as the hart. But its blood you may not eat; you must spill it on the ground like water.

Hebrew

שָׁמוֹר אֶת־חֹדֶשׁ הָאָבִיב וְעָשִׂיתָ פֶּסַח לַיהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ כִּי בְּחֹדֶשׁ הָאָבִיב
הוֹצִיאֲךָ יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ מִמִּצְרַיִם לָיְלָה׃ וְזָבַחְתָּ פֶּסַח לַיהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ צֹאן

Remember the month of Spring: bring a Pesaḥ offering to the LORD your God, for in the month of Spring, the LORD your God took you out of Egypt at night. You shall bring a Pesaḥ offering to the LORD your God, sheep and cattle, at the place the LORD shall choose as a dwelling place for His name. You may not eat leaven with it; you must eat matzot, the bread of oppression, with it for seven days – for you left Egypt in great haste – so that you remember the day of your exodus from Egypt all the days of your life.

Hebrew

*וְלֹא־יֵרָאֶה לְךָ
שְׂאֹר בְּכָל־גְּבֻלְךָ שִׁבְעַת יָמִים וְלֹא־יָלִין מִן־הַבָּשָׂר אֲשֶׁר תִּזְבַּח בָּעֶרֶב בַּיּוֹם

שָׁם תִּזְבַּח אֶת־הַפֶּסַח בָּעָרֶב כְּבוֹא הַשֶּׁמֶשׁ מוֹעֵד צֵאתְךָ מִמִּצְרָיִם׃ וּבִשַּׁלְתָּ
וְאָכַלְתָּ בַּמָּקוֹם אֲשֶׁר יִבְחַר יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ בּוֹ וּפָנִיתָ בַבֹּקֶר וְהָלַכְתָּ לְאֹהָלֶיךָ׃

*And no leaven shall be seen by you within all your borders for seven days, and none of the meat which you offer in the evening of the first day shall be allowed to remain until morning. You may not sacrifice the Pesaḥ offering in any one of your cities, which the LORD your God gives you. Only at the place which the LORD your God shall choose as a dwelling place for His name – that is where you should sacrifice the Pesaḥ offering in the evening, before sunset, in the season of your exodus from Egypt. You shall cook it and eat it in the place the LORD your God will choose, and in the morning you shall turn back and go to your abode. For six days, you shall eat matzot; the seventh day is a day of assembly for the LORD your God: on it, you may not perform work.

Hebrew

*שִׁבְעָה שָׁבֻעֹת תִּסְפָּר־לָךְ מֵהָחֵל חֶרְמֵשׁ בַּקָּמָה תָּחֵל

English

Count for yourselves seven weeks; when the sickle begins to cut the standing grain, then shall you begin to count the seven weeks. And you shall celebrate a Festival of Weeks [Shavuot] for the LORD your God, bringing a free-will offering, as much as you can afford, according to the blessing the LORD your God has given you. And you shall rejoice in the presence of the LORD your God: you and your sons and daughters,
