The Book of Exodus 23

23 You shall not take up a report of emptiness. You shall not put your hand with the wicked to be a witness of violence. 2 You shall not follow a crowd into evil, nor shall you testify on legal matters to turn aside behind the crowd that turns aside. 3 And you shall not favor the poor in his lawsuit.

4 If you meet the ox of your enemy or his donkey going astray, you shall certainly bring it back to him. 5 If you see the donkey of someone who hates you fallen to the ground under its load, you shall refrain from leaving him. You shall surely release it with him.

6 You shall not turn aside justice for your poor in his lawsuit. 7 You shall be far from a word of deception, and you shall not kill the innocent or righteous, for I will not justify the wicked. 8 And you shall not take a bribe, for the bribe blinds the clear-sighted, and it perverts the words of the righteous.

9 And you shall not oppress a foreigner, since you yourself know the soul of the foreigner, for you were foreigners in the land of Egypt.

10 And six years you shall sow your land and gather its produce. 11 But the seventh you shall let it drop and leave it alone, and the poor of your people shall eat. And the living things of the field shall eat the reminder. You shall do thus to your vineyard and to your olive orchard.

12 Six days you shall do your work, and on the seventh day you shall rest so that your ox and your donkey may rest, and the son of your female slave and the sojourner may be refreshed.

13 You shall take heed to everything that I have said to you. You shall not mention the names of other gods, nor let them be heard on your mouth.

14 You shall celebrate me three times every year.

15 You shall keep the Festival of Unleavened Bread. You shall eat unleavened bread seven days, as I commanded you, at the appointed time, the month of Aviv, for in it you came out from Egypt. And you shall not appear at my face empty-handed.

16 And you shall keep the Festival of the Harvest, bringing the first fruits of your labors which you sowed in the field.

And you shall keep the Festival of the Gathering in the exiting of the year, bringing in your gathering of your labors from the field.

17 Three times in a year, all your males shall appear to the face of the Lord Yahweh.

18 You shall not sacrifice the blood of my sacrifice with leavened bread, and the fat of my festival shall not remain all night until morning. 19 You shall bring the first of the firstfruits of your ground to the house of Yahweh your God. You shall not boil a young goat in the milk of its mother.

20 Behold, I am about to send an angel before your face to guard you on the way and to bring you to the place that I have prepared. 21 Be guarded from his face and listen to his voice. Do not cause bitterness in him, for he will not bear with your transgressions, for my name is within him. 22 For if you indeed heed his voice and do everything that I speak, then I will be an enemy to your enemies and I will be an adversary to your adversaries. 23 For my angel will go before your face and bring you to the Amorites and the Hittites and the Perizzites and the Canaanites, the Hivites and the Jebusites. I will annihilate them. 24 You shall not bow down to their gods, and you shall not serve them, and you shall not do as they do. For you shall completely overthrow them and completely smash their stone pillars.

25 And you shall serve Yahweh your God, and he will bless your bread and your water. And I will remove sickness from among you. 26 There will not be a miscarriage or a barren woman in your land. I will fulfill the number of your days.

27 I will send my terror before your face, and I will confuse all of the people into whom you will go, and I will give the back of the neck of all of your enemies to you. 28 And I will send the hornet before your face, and it will drive out the Hivites, Canaanites, and the Hittites from before your face. 29 I will not drive them out from before your face in one year, lest the land become desolate and the animals of the field become too many for you. 30 I will drive them out little by little from before your face until you become fruitful and possess the land. 31 And I will set your borders from the Sea of Reeds to the sea of the Philistines, and from the wilderness to the river. For I will give the inhabitants of the land into your hand. And you will drive them out from before your faces.

32 You shall not make a covenant with them or with their gods. 33 They shall not live in your land, lest they cause you to sin against me; for you will serve their gods. Surely it will become a snare for you.’ ”
