This is still a very early look into the unfinished text of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check the text in advance before using in public.
23 You mustn’t present a false statement. Don’t conspire with a wicked person to give false evidence.[ref] 2 Don’t just follow the crowd into doing what’s wrong, and don’t just say what others say in court if it’s untrue, 3 and don’t automatically favour the poor in court either.[ref]
4 If you come across your enemy’s cow or donkey going astray, you must certainly take it back to them.[ref] 5 If you see that the donkey of someone who hates you has fallen to the ground under its load, you mustn’t just walk way—you must certainly help them with it.
6 You mustn’t deny justice to the poor in their lawsuits.[ref] 7 Stay far way from deceptive words. You mustn’t kill innocent or honest people because I won’t allow wicked people to be declared innocent. 8 You mustn’t accept bribes, because bribes stop people from being unbiased and they undermine the words of honest people.
9 You mustn’t oppress foreigners since you yourselves know how that feels because you all were foreigners in Egypt.[ref]
Exo 20:16:
Lev 19:11-12:
Deu 5:20:
Lev 19:15:
Deu 22:1-4:
22 If you see someone else’s cow or sheep that has strayed away, don’t act as though you didn’t see it. Take it back to its owner.[ref] 2 However, if the owner doesn’t live near you, or if you don’t know who it is, then take the animal to your house. It can stay with you until the owner comes looking for it, then you must give it to them. 3 Similarly if it’s a donkey or clothing or anything else that someone’s lost, don’t pretend that you never saw it.
4 If you see someone else’s donkey or cow that’s fallen beside the road, don’t act as though you didn’t see it. You must try to help the owner to get the animal up.
Deu 16:19:
19 You mustn’t pervert justice or give favours. Don’t accept bribes because a bribe causes an otherwise wise person to ignore evil and misrepresents what innocent people say.[ref]
Exo 22:21:
21 You mustn’t disadvantage or oppress any foreigner staying in your country, because you were foreigners staying in the land of Egypt.[ref]
Lev 19:33-34:
Deu 24:17-18:
17 Don’t pervert justice if it involves foreigners or orphans, and don’t take a widow’s cloak as security for a loan.[ref] 18 Remember that you were a slave in Egypt and your god Yahweh rescued you from there. That’s why I’m commanding you to do those things—to be considerate about helping other people who are in need.
27:19:
19 ‘Anyone who perverts justice for a foreigner or orphan or widow will be cursed.’[ref]
Then the people must reply, ‘Let it be so.’
