5.Mose 16 | Bibelen på hverdagsdansk

Repetition af de tre årlige højtider

1 Husk altid at fejre påskefesten i aviv måned* til minde om den nat, da Herren jeres Gud førte jer ud af Egypten.

2 Offerdyret skal tages fra småkvæget* eller hornkvæget. Efter at I har bragt dyret til helligdommen og slagtet det,

3 skal I spise det sammen med det usyrnede brød, og I skal fortsætte med at spise usyrnet brød i syv dage til minde om det brød, I spiste, da I forlod Egypten i en sådan hast, at der ikke var tid til at lade brødet hæve. Fremover skal I altid huske at fejre den dag, I forlod Egypten.

4 I syv dage må der ikke findes surdej i jeres hjem, og I må ikke levne noget af påskeofferet til næste morgen.

5 I må ikke spise påskeofferet hjemme.

6 Det må kun spises på det sted, som Herren vil udvælge til sin helligdom, og det skal slagtes ved solnedgang på årsdagen for befrielsen fra slaveriet i Egypten.

7 Når I har stegt dyret og spist det, kan I næste morgen tage tilbage til jeres telte,

8 og de følgende seks dage må I ikke spise brød med surdej i. På den syvende dag skal I lade arbejdet hvile, og I skal alle samles for Herrens ansigt til højtidsfest.

9 Tæl syv uger frem fra den første kornhøst.

10 Da skal der være høstfest. (Som også kaldes ugefesten.) På den dag skal I bringe Herren frivillige ofre i forhold til den høst, han har velsignet jer med.

11 I skal glæde jer for Herrens ansigt sammen med jeres familie og husstand, og ikke glemme at invitere levitterne, de fremmede, enkerne og de forældreløse iblandt jer til at følge med jer til festen i helligdommen.

12 Husk på, at I selv var slaver i Egypten. Det vil hjælpe jer til at værdsætte baggrunden for denne regel.

13 Den tredje højtid, løvhyttefesten, skal I fejre efter endt høst, når kornet er tærsket, og vindruerne er presset. I syv dage skal I glæde jer sammen med jeres familie og husstand, og glem ikke at invitere levitterne, de fremmede, enkerne og de forældreløse iblandt jer til at følge med jer til festen i helligdommen på det sted, Herren vil udvælge. Dér skal I glæde jer og takke Herren for hans velsignelse over høsten og det arbejde, I har udført.

16 Ved de tre højtider skal alle mænd i Israel drage op til helligdommen og medbringe deres offergaver

17 i forhold til den velsignelse, Herren har givet dem.

Om retfærdige domme

18 I de byer, som Herren, jeres Gud, giver de enkelte stammer, skal I udpege dommere og administrative ledere, der kan dømme folket retfærdigt. De skal være upartiske og må ikke tage imod bestikkelse, for bestikkelse påvirker ledernes dømmekraft og får dem til at bøje retten.

20 Lad retfærdigheden råde iblandt jer, så I kan indtage det land, Herren giver jer, og også blive boende i landet.

Undgå al afgudsdyrkelse og urene ofre

21 Når I bygger et alter for Herren, jeres Gud, må I ikke rejse Asherapæle ved siden af,

22 eller stenstøtter, for den slags er udtryk for afgudsdyrkelse, og det er noget, Herren hader.

English Standard Version

Passover

1 “Observe the month of Abib and keep the Passover to the Lord your God, for in the month of Abib the Lord your God brought you out of Egypt by night.

2 And you shall offer the Passover sacrifice to the Lord your God, from the flock or the herd, at the place that the Lord will choose, to make his name dwell there.

3 You shall eat no leavened bread with it. Seven days you shall eat it with unleavened bread, the bread of affliction—for you came out of the land of Egypt in haste—that all the days of your life you may remember the day when you came out of the land of Egypt.

4 No leaven shall be seen with you in all your territory for seven days, nor shall any of the flesh that you sacrifice on the evening of the first day remain all night until morning.

5 You may not offer the Passover sacrifice within any of your towns that the Lord your God is giving you,

6 but at the place that the Lord your God will choose, to make his name dwell in it, there you shall offer the Passover sacrifice, in the evening at sunset, at the time you came out of Egypt.

7 And you shall cook it and eat it at the place that the Lord your God will choose. And in the morning you shall turn and go to your tents.

8 For six days you shall eat unleavened bread, and on the seventh day there shall be a solemn assembly to the Lord your God. You shall do no work on it.

The Feast of Weeks

9 “You shall count seven weeks. Begin to count the seven weeks from the time the sickle is first put to the standing grain.

10 Then you shall keep the Feast of Weeks to the Lord your God with the tribute of a freewill offering from your hand, which you shall give as the Lord your God blesses you.

11 And you shall rejoice before the Lord your God, you and your son and your daughter, your male servant and your female servant, the Levite who is within your towns, the sojourner, the fatherless, and the widow who are among you, at the place that the Lord your God will choose, to make his name dwell there.

12 You shall remember that you were a slave in Egypt; and you shall be careful to observe these statutes.

The Feast of Booths

13 “You shall keep the Feast of Booths seven days, when you have gathered in the produce from your threshing floor and your winepress.

14 You shall rejoice in your feast, you and your son and your daughter, your male servant and your female servant, the Levite, the sojourner, the fatherless, and the widow who are within your towns.

15 For seven days you shall keep the feast to the Lord your God at the place that the Lord will choose, because the Lord your God will bless you in all your produce and in all the work of your hands, so that you will be altogether joyful.

16 “Three times a year all your males shall appear before the Lord your God at the place that he will choose: at the Feast of Unleavened Bread, at the Feast of Weeks, and at the Feast of Booths. They shall not appear before the Lord empty-handed.

17 Every man shall give as he is able, according to the blessing of the Lord your God that he has given you.

Justice

18 “You shall appoint judges and officers in all your towns that the Lord your God is giving you, according to your tribes, and they shall judge the people with righteous judgment.

19 You shall not pervert justice. You shall not show partiality, and you shall not accept a bribe, for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and subverts the cause of the righteous.

20 Justice, and only justice, you shall follow, that you may live and inherit the land that the Lord your God is giving you.

Forbidden Forms of Worship

21 “You shall not plant any tree as an Asherah beside the altar of the Lord your God that you shall make.

22 And you shall not set up a pillar, which the Lord your God hates.
