23 : 1 Thou shalt not raise a false report: put not thine hand with the wicked to be an unrighteous witness. 23 : 2 Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil; neither shalt thou speak in a cause to decline after many to wrest judgment: 23 : 3 Neither shalt thou countenance a poor man in his cause. 23 : 4 If thou meet thine enemy’s ox or his ass going astray, thou shalt surely bring it back to him again. 23 : 5 If thou see the ass of him that hateth thee lying under his burden, and wouldest forbear to help him, thou shalt surely help with him. 23 : 6 Thou shalt not wrest the judgment of thy poor in his cause. 23 : 7 Keep thee far from a false matter; and the innocent and righteous slay thou not: for I will not justify the wicked. 23 : 8 And thou shalt take no gift: for the gift blindeth the wise, and perverteth the words of the righteous. 23 : 9 Also thou shalt not oppress a stranger: for ye know the heart of a stranger, seeing ye were strangers in the land of Egypt. 23 : 10 And six years thou shalt sow thy land, and shalt gather in the fruits thereof: 23 : 11 But the seventh year thou shalt let it rest and lie still; that the poor of thy people may eat: and what they leave the beasts of the field shall eat. In like manner thou shalt deal with thy vineyard, and with thy oliveyard. 23 : 12 Six days thou shalt do thy work, and 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. 23 : 13 And in all things that I have said unto you be circumspect: and make no mention of the name of other gods, neither let it be heard out of thy mouth. 23 : 14 Three times thou shalt keep a feast unto me in the year. 23 : 15 Thou shalt keep the feast of unleavened bread: (thou shalt eat unleavened bread seven days, as I commanded thee, in the time appointed of the month Abib; for in it thou camest out from Egypt: and none shall appear before me empty:) 23 : 16 And the feast of harvest, the firstfruits of thy labours, which thou hast sown in the field: and the feast of ingathering, which is in the end of the year, when thou hast gathered in thy labours out of the field. 23 : 17 Three times in the year all thy males shall appear before the Lord God. 23 : 18 Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leavened bread; neither shall the fat of my sacrifice remain until the morning. 23 : 19 The first of the firstfruits of thy land thou shalt bring into the house of the Lord thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother’s milk. 23 : 20 Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared. 23 : 21 Beware of him, and obey his voice, provoke him not; for he will not pardon your transgressions: for my name is in him. 23 : 22 But if thou shalt indeed obey his voice, and do all that I speak; then I will be an enemy unto thine enemies, and an adversary unto thine adversaries. 23 : 23 For mine Angel shall go before thee, and bring thee in unto the Amorites, and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites: and I will cut them off. 23 : 24 Thou shalt not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor do after their works: but thou shalt utterly overthrow them, and quite break down their images. 23 : 25 And ye shall serve the Lord your God, and he shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee. 23 : 26 There shall nothing cast their young, nor be barren, in thy land: the number of thy days I will fulfil. 23 : 27 I will send my fear before thee, and will destroy all the people to whom thou shalt come, and I will make all thine enemies turn their backs unto thee. 23 : 28 And I will send hornets before thee, which shall drive out the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite, from before thee. 23 : 29 I will not drive them out from before thee in one year; lest the land become desolate, and the beast of the field multiply against thee. 23 : 30 By little and little I will drive them out from before thee, until thou be increased, and inherit the land. 23 : 31 And I will set thy bounds from the Red sea even unto the sea of the Philistines, and from the desert unto the river: for I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand; and thou shalt drive them out before thee. 23 : 32 Thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor with their gods. 23 : 33 They shall not dwell in thy land, lest they make thee sin against me: for if thou serve their gods, it will surely be a snare unto thee.
