Exodus - ch 23 v 1 - 20

  1. Do not let a false statement go further; do not make an agreement with evil-doers to be a false witness.
  2. Do not be moved to do wrong by the general opinion, or give the support of your words to a wrong decision:
  3. But, on the other hand, do not be turned from what is right in order to give support to a poor man's cause.
  4. If you come across the ox or the ass of one who is no friend to you wandering from its way, you are to take it back to him.
  5. If you see the ass of one who has no love for you bent down to the earth under the weight which is put on it, you are to come to its help, even against your desire.
  6. Let no wrong decisions be given in the poor man's cause.
  7. Keep yourselves far from any false business; never let the upright or him who has done no wrong be put to death: for I will make the evil-doer responsible for his sin.
  8. Take no rewards in a cause: for rewards make blind those who have eyes to see, and make the decisions of the upright false.
  9. Do not be hard on the man from a strange country who is living among you; for you have had experience of the feelings of one who is far from the land of his birth, because you yourselves were living in Egypt, in a strange land.
  10. For six years put seed into your fields and get in the increase;
  11. But in the seventh year let the land have a rest and be unplanted; so that the poor may have food from it: and let the beasts of the field take the rest. Do the same with your vine-gardens and your olive-trees.
  12. For six days do your work, and on the seventh day keep the Sabbath; so that your ox and your ass may have rest, together with the son of your servant and the man from a strange land living among you.
  13. Take note of all these things which I have said to you, and let not the names of other gods come into your minds or from your lips.
  14. Three times in the year you are to keep a feast to me.
  15. You are to keep the feast of unleavened bread; for seven days let your bread be without leaven, as I gave you orders, at the regular time in the month Abib (for in it you came out of Egypt); and let no one come before me without an offering:
  16. And the feast of the grain-cutting, the first-fruits of your planted fields: and the feast at the start of the year, when you have got in all the fruit from your fields.
  17. Three times in the year let all your males come before the Lord God.
  18. Do not give the blood of my offering with leavened bread; and do not let the fat of my feast be kept all night till the morning.
  19. The best of the first-fruits of your land are to be taken into the house of the Lord your God. The young goat is not to be cooked in its mother's milk.
  20. See, I am sending an angel before you, to keep you on your way and to be your guide into the place which I have made ready for you.
