02:023:007 Keep thee far from a false matter; and the innocent and
righteous slay thou not: for I will not justify the wicked.
02:023:008 And thou shalt take no gift: for the gift blindeth the wise,
and perverteth the words of the righteous.
02:023:009 Also thou shalt not oppress a stranger: for ye know the
heart of a stranger, seeing ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.
02:023:010 And six years thou shalt sow thy land, and shalt gather in
the fruits thereof:
02:023:011 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.
02:023:012 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.
02:023:013 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.
02:023:014 Three times thou shalt keep a feast unto me in the year.
02:023:015 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:)
02:023:016 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.
02:023:017 Three times in the year all thy males shall appear before
the LORD God.
02:023:018 Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leavened
bread; neither shall the fat of my sacrifice remain until the morning.
02:023:019 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.
02:023:020 Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the
way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared.
02:023:021 Beware of him, and obey his voice, provoke him not; for he
will not pardon your transgressions: for my name is in him.
02:023:022 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.
02:023:023 For mine Angel shall go before thee, and bring thee in unto
the Amorites, and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites,
the Hivites, and the Jebusites: and I will cut them off.
02:023:024 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.
02:023:025 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.
