ylt @Exodus:23:7 @from a false matter thou dost keep far off , and an innocent and righteous man thou dost not slay ; for I do not justify a wicked man . ylt @Exodus:23:8 @'And a bribe thou dost not take ; for the bribe bindeth the open -[eyed ], and perverteth the words of the righteous . ylt @Exodus:23:9 @'And a sojourner thou dost not oppress , and ye -- ye have known the soul of the sojourner , for sojourners ye have been in the land of Egypt . ylt @Exodus:23:10 @'And six years thou dost sow thy land , and hast gathered its increase ; ylt @Exodus:23:11 @and the seventh thou dost release it , and hast left it , and the needy of thy people have eaten , and their leaving doth the beast of the field eat ; so dost thou to thy vineyard -- to thine olive-yard . ylt @Exodus:23:12 @'Six days thou dost do thy work , and on the seventh day thou dost rest , so that thine ox and thine ass doth rest , and the son of thine handmaid and the sojourner is refreshed ; ylt @Exodus:23:13 @and in all that which I have said unto you ye do take heed ; and the name of other gods ye do not mention ; it is not heard on thy mouth . ylt @Exodus:23:14 @'Three times thou dost keep a feast to Me in a year ; ylt @Exodus:23:15 @the Feast of Unleavened things thou dost keep ; seven days thou dost eat unleavened things , as I have commanded thee , at the time appointed [in ] the month of Abib ; for in it thou hast come forth out of Egypt , and ye do not appear [in ] My presence empty ; ylt @Exodus:23:16 @and the Feast of Harvest , the first fruits of thy works which thou sowest in the field ; and the Feast of the In-Gathering , in the outgoing of the year , in thy gathering thy works out of the field . ylt @Exodus:23:17 @'Three times in a year do all thy males appear before the face of the Lord Jehovah . ylt @Exodus:23:18 @'Thou dost not sacrifice on a fermented thing the blood of My sacrifice , and the fat of My festival doth not remain till morning ;

ylt @Exodus:23:21 @be watchful because of his presence , and hearken to his voice , rebel not against him , for he beareth not with your transgression , for My name [is ] in his heart ; ylt @Exodus:23:22 @for , if thou diligently hearken to his voice , and hast done all that which I speak , then I have been at enmity with thine enemies , and have distressed those distressing thee . ylt @Exodus:23:23 @'For My messenger goeth before thee , and hath brought thee in unto the Amorite , and the Hittite , and the Perizzite , and the Canaanite , the Hivite , and the Jebusite , and I have cut them off . ylt @Exodus:23:24 @'Thou dost not bow thyself to their gods , nor serve them , nor do according to their doings , but dost utterly devote them , and thoroughly break their standing pillars . ylt @Exodus:23:25 @'And ye have served Jehovah your God , and He hath blessed thy bread and thy water , and I have turned aside sickness from thine heart ;
