¹ Thou shalt not take·​·up a vain rumor. Put not thy hand with the wicked to be a witness of violence.

² Thou shalt not follow^◦ after many to do evils; and thou shalt not answer upon a dispute to turn·​·aside^* after many to cause others to turn·​·aside.

³ And thou shalt not honor a poor man in his plea.

⁴ When^◦ thou shalt come·​·upon thine enemy’s ox, or his donkey, going·​·astray, returning thou shalt return it to him.

⁵ When^◦ thou shalt see the donkey of him who hates thee couching under his burden, and wouldest desist from removing^◦ it for him, removing^◦ thou shalt remove^◦ it with him.

⁶ Thou shalt not distort^◦ the judgment of thy needy in his plea.

⁷ Keep thee far from a false word; and the innocent and the just, kill thou not; for I will not justify the wicked.

⁸ And thou shalt not take a bribe, for a bribe blinds those who have their eyes open^◦, and perverts the words of the just.

⁹ And a sojourner shalt thou not oppress; and you^◦ know the soul of a sojourner, for you were sojourners in the land of Egypt.

¹⁰ And six years thou shalt sow thy land, and shalt gather her increase.

¹¹ And in the seventh thou shalt release it^*, and shalt abandon it; and the needy of thy people shall eat; and what remains of them the wild·​·animal of the field shall eat. So shalt thou do to thy vineyard, and to thine olive trees.

¹² Six days thou shalt do thy deeds, and on^◦ the seventh day thou shalt cease; so·​·that thine ox and thine ass may rest; and the son of thy maidservant, and the sojourner, may refresh· their ·soul.

¹³ And all that I have said to^▵ you, you shall keep; and you shall not make·​·mention of the name of other gods; it shall not be heard upon thy mouth.

¹⁴ Three times^* thou shalt celebrate to Me in the year.

¹⁵ The festival of unleavened things shalt thou keep; seven days thou shalt eat unleavened things, as I commanded thee, at the time appointed of the month Abib; for in it thou wentest·​·out from Egypt; and My faces shall not be seen empty.

¹⁶ And the festival of the harvest, of the firstfruits of thy works^◦, which thou sowedst in the field; and the festival of ingathering, in the going·​·out of the year, when thou gatherest in thy works^◦ from the field.

¹⁷ Three times^◦ in the year shall every male of thine be seen before the faces of the Lord Jehovah.

¹⁸ Thou shalt not sacrifice the blood of My sacrifice on what is leavened; and the fat of My festival shall not pass·​·the·​·night until the morning.

¹⁹ The first of the firstfruits of thy ground thou shalt bring·​·into the house of Jehovah thy God. Thou shalt not cook a kid in the milk of its mother.

²⁰ Behold I send an angel before thee, to guard thee in the way, and to bring thee to the place which I have prepared.

²¹ Take·​·heed of his face, and obey his voice, lest thou make· him ·bitter; for he will not bear your transgression; for My name is in his midst^◦.

²² For if hearing thou shalt hear his voice, and do all that I speak, I will be·​·an·​·enemy against thine enemies, and I will be·​·an·​·adversary against thine adversaries.

²³ When My angel shall go before thee, and shall bring thee to^▵ the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Canaanite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite; and I shall cut· him ·off^▵.

²⁴ Thou shalt not bow·​·down thyself to their gods, and shalt not serve them, and shalt not do according·​·to their deeds; for breaking·​·down thou shalt break· them ·down, and breaking thou shalt break their statues.

²⁵ And you shall serve Jehovah your God, and He shall bless thy bread, and thy waters; and I will remove sickness from among thee.

²⁶ There shall not be one miscarrying, or barren, in thy land; the number of thy days I will·​·fulfill.

²⁷ I will send My terror before thee, and I will rout all the people to whom thou shalt come, and I will give to thee the neck of all thine enemies.

²⁸ And I will send the hornet before thee, and it shall drive·​·out the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite, from before thee.

²⁹ I will not drive· him ·out from before thee in one year; lest the land become desolate, and the wild·​·animal of the field become many against thee.

³⁰ By a·​·little and a·​·little I will drive· him ·out from before thee, until thou be·​·fruitful, and inherit the land.

³¹ And I will put thy border from the Suph sea^*, and even·​·to the sea of the Philistines, and from the wilderness even·​·to the river; for I will give into your hand those who dwell·​·in the land; and I will drive· them ·out from before thee.

³² Thou shalt not cut a covenant with them, and with their gods.

³³ They shall not dwell in thy land, lest they make thee sin against Me, that thou serve their gods; for it will be for a snare to thee.
