1
Thou shalt not take up a false report: put not thy hand with the wicked to be an unrighteous witness .
2
Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil ; neither shalt thou speak in a cause to turn aside after a multitude to wrest [justice ]:
3
neither shalt thou favor a poor man in his cause.
4
If thou meet thine enemy's ox or his ass going astray, thou shalt surely bring it back to him again.
5
If thou see the ass of him that hateth thee lying under his burden , thou shalt forbear to leave him, thou shalt surely release [it] with him.
6
Thou shalt not wrest the justice [due] to thy poor in his cause.
7
Keep thee far from a false matter; and the innocent and righteous slay thou not: for I will not justify the wicked .
8
And thou shalt take no bribe: for a bribe blindeth them that have sight , and perverteth the words of the righteous .
9
And a sojourner shalt thou not oppress: for ye know the heart of a sojourner , seeing ye were sojourners in the land of Egypt .
10
And six years thou shalt sow thy land , and shalt gather in the increase thereof:
11
but the seventh year thou shalt let it rest and lie fallow; that the poor of thy people may eat : and what they leave the beast of the field shall eat . In like manner thou shalt deal with thy vineyard , [and] with thy oliveyard .
12
Six days thou shalt do thy work , and on the seventh day thou shalt rest; that thine ox and thine ass may have rest, and the son of thy handmaid , and the sojourner , may be refreshed.
13
And in all things that I have said unto you take ye heed: and make no mention of the name of other gods , neither let it be heard out of thy mouth .
14
Three times thou shalt keep a feast unto me in the year.
15
The feast of unleavened bread shalt thou keep : seven days thou shalt eat unleavened bread , as I commanded thee, at the time appointed in the month Abib (for in it thou camest out from Egypt ); and none shall appear before me empty:
16
and the feast of harvest , the first-fruits of thy labors, which thou sowest in the field : and the feast of ingathering , at the end of the year, when thou gatherest in thy labors out of the field .
17
Three times in the year all thy males shall appear before the Lord Jehovah .
18
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 .
19
The first of the first -fruits of thy ground thou shalt bring into the house of Jehovah thy God . Thou shalt not boil a kid in it mother's milk .
20
Behold, I send an angel before thee, to keep thee by the way , and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared.
21
Take ye heed before him, and hearken unto his voice ; provoke him not; for he will not pardon your transgression : for my name is in him.
22
But if thou shalt indeed hearken unto his voice , and do all that I speak ; then I will be an enemy unto thine enemies , and an adversary unto thine adversaries.
23
For mine angel shall go before thee, and bring thee in unto the Amorite, and the Hittite , and the Perizzite, and the Canaanite, the Hivite , and the Jebusite: and I will cut them off.
24
Thou shalt not bow down to their gods , nor serve them, nor do after their works ; but thou shalt utterly overthrow them, and break in pieces their pillars .
25
And ye shall serve Jehovah your God , and he will bless thy bread , and thy water ; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee.
26
There shall none cast her young, nor be barren , in thy land : the number of thy days I will fulfil.
27
I will send my terror before thee, and will discomfit all the people to whom thou shalt come , and I will make all thine enemies turn their backs unto thee.
28
And I will send the hornet before thee, which shall drive out the Hivite , the Canaanite, and the Hittite , from before thee.
29
I will not drive them out from before thee in one year, lest the land become desolate, and the beasts of the field multiply against thee.
30
By little and little I will drive them out from before thee, until thou be increased, and inherit the land .
31
And I will set thy border from the Red Sea even unto the sea of the Philistines , and from the wilderness unto the River : for I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand : and thou shalt drive them out before thee.
32
Thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor with their gods .
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.
