Verse
Exodus - ch 23 v 1 - 20
- Thou shalt not accept a false report; extend not thy hand to the wicked, to be an unrighteous witness.
- Thou shalt not follow the multitude for evil; neither shalt thou answer in a cause, to go after the multitude to pervert judgment.
- Neither shalt thou favour a poor man in his cause.
- -- If thou meet thine enemy's ox or his ass going astray, thou shalt certainly bring it back to him.
- If thou see the ass of him that hateth thee lying under its burden, beware of leaving it to him: thou shalt certainly loosen it with him.
- Thou shalt not pervert the judgment of thy poor in his cause.
- Thou shalt keep far from the cause of falsehood; and the innocent and righteous slay not; for I will not justify the wicked.
- And thou shalt take no bribe; for the bribe blindeth those whose eyes are open, and perverteth the words of the righteous.
- And the stranger thou shalt not oppress; for ye know the spirit of the stranger, for ye have been strangers in the land of Egypt.
- And six years thou shalt sow thy land, and gather in its produce;
- but in the seventh thou shalt let it rest and lie fallow, that the poor of thy people may eat of it; and what they leave, the beasts of the field shall eat. In like manner thou shalt deal with thy vineyard, and with thine olive-tree.
- -- Six days thou shalt do thy work, but on the seventh day thou shalt rest; that thine ox and thine ass may rest, and the son of thy handmaid, and the stranger may be refreshed.
- And ye shall be on your guard as to everything that I have said unto you; and shall make no mention of the name of other gods -- it shall not be heard in thy mouth.
- Thrice in the year thou shalt celebrate a feast to me.
- Thou shalt keep the feast of unleavened bread, (thou shalt eat unleavened bread seven days, as I have commanded thee, in the time appointed of the month Abib; for in it thou camest out from Egypt; and none shall appear in my presence empty;)
- and the feast of harvest, the first-fruits of thy labours which thou hast sown in the field, and the feast of in-gathering, at the end of the year, when thou gatherest in thy labours out of the field.
- Three times in the year all thy males shall appear in the presence of the Lord Jehovah.
- Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leavened bread; neither shall the fat of my feast remain all night until the morning.
- The first of the first-fruits of thy land thou shalt bring into the house of Jehovah thy God. Thou shalt not boil a kid in its mother's milk.
- Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee to the place that I have prepared.
