Deuteronomy 16:16-21

GNTA

NIV

16 "All the men of your nation are to come to worship the Lord three times a year at the one place of worship: at Passover, Harvest Festival, and the Festival of Shelters. Each man is to bring a gift
16 Three times a year all your men must appear before the LORD your God at the place he will choose: at the Festival of Unleavened Bread, the Festival of Weeks and the Festival of Tabernacles. No one should appear before the LORD empty-handed:
17 as he is able, in proportion to the blessings that the Lord your God has given him.
17 Each of you must bring a gift in proportion to the way the LORD your God has blessed you.
18 "Appoint judges and other officials in every town that the Lord your God gives you. These men are to judge the people impartially.
18 Appoint judges and officials for each of your tribes in every town the LORD your God is giving you, and they shall judge the people fairly.
19 They are not to be unjust or show partiality in their judgments; and they are not to accept bribes, for gifts blind the eyes even of wise and honest men, and cause them to give wrong decisions.
19 Do not pervert justice or show partiality. Do not accept a bribe, for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and twists the words of the innocent.
20 Always be fair and just, so that you will occupy the land that the Lord your God is giving you and so that you will continue to live there.
20 Follow justice and justice alone, so that you may live and possess the land the LORD your God is giving you.
21 "When you make an altar for the Lord your God, do not put beside it a wooden symbol of the goddess Asherah.
21 Do not set up any wooden Asherah pole beside the altar you build to the LORD your God,
