Thou shalt
not raise a false report: put not thine hand with
the wicked to be an unrighteous witness.
02 Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do
evil; neither shalt thou speak in a cause to
decline after many to wrest judgment:
03 Neither shalt thou countenance a poor
man in his cause.
04 If thou meet thine enemy's ox or his ass
going astray, thou shalt surely bring it back to
him again.
05 If thou see the ass of him that hateth
thee lying under his burden, and wouldest forbear
to help him, thou shalt surely help with him.
06 Thou shalt not wrest the judgment of thy
poor in his cause.
07 Keep thee far from a false matter; and
the innocent and righteous slay thou not: for I
will not justify the wicked.
08 And thou shalt take no gift: for the
gift blindeth the wise, and perverteth the words
of the righteous.
09 Also thou shalt not oppress a stranger:
for ye know the heart of a stranger, seeing ye
were strangers in the land of Egypt.
10 And six years thou shalt sow thy land,
and shalt gather in the fruits thereof:
11 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.
12 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.
13 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.
14 Three times thou shalt keep a feast unto
me in the year.
15 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:)
16 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.
17 Three items in the year all thy males
shall appear before the Lord God.

18 Thou shalt not offer the blood of my
sacrifice with leavened bread; neither shall the
fat of my sacrifice remain until the morning.
19 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.
20 Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to
keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the
place which I have prepared.
21 Beware of him, and obey his voice,
provoke him not; for he will not pardon your
transgressions: for my name is in him.
22 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.
23 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.
24 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.
25 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.
26 There shall nothing cast their young,
nor be barren, in thy land: the number of thy
days I will fulfil.
27 I will send my fear before thee, and
will destroy 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 hornets 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 beast 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 bounds from the Red
sea even unto the sea of the Philistines, and
from the desert 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.
