Exodus:23
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Thou shalt not raise a false report :
put not thine hand with the wicked to be an unrighteous witness .
*
Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil ;
neither shalt thou speak in a cause to decline after many to wrest judgment :
*
Neither shalt thou countenance a poor man in his cause .
*
If thou meet thine enemys ox or his ass going astray ,
thou shalt surely bring it back #
to him again .
*
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 .
*
Thou shalt not wrest the judgment of thy poor in his cause .
*
Keep thee far from a false matter ;
and the innocent and righteous slay thou not :
for I will not justify the wicked .
*
And thou shalt take no gift :
for the gift blindeth the wise ,
and perverteth the words of the righteous .
*
Also thou shalt not oppress a stranger :
for ye know the heart of a stranger ,
seeing ye were strangers in the land of Egypt .
*
And six years thou shalt sow thy land ,
and shalt gather in the fruits thereof :
*
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 .
*
Six days thou shalt do thy work ma #
aseh #,
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 .
*
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 .
*
Three times thou shalt keep a feast unto me in the year .
*
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 : )
*
And the feast of harvest ,
the firstfruits of thy labours ma #
aseh #,
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 .
*
Three times in the year all thy males shall appear before the Lord GOD .
*
Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leavened bread ;
neither shall the fat of my sacrifice remain until the morning .
*
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 mothers milk .
*
Behold ,
I send an Angel before thee ,
to keep thee in the way ,
and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared .
*
Beware of him ,
and obey his voice ,
provoke him not ;
for he will not pardon your transgressions :
for my name is in him .
*
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 .
*
For mine Angel shall go before thee ,
and bring thee in unto the Amorites ,
and the Hittites ,
and the Perizzites ,
and the Canaanites K @
na #
aniy #,
the Hivites ,
and the Jebusites :
and I will cut them off .
*
Thou shalt not bow down to their gods ,
nor serve them ,
nor do after their works ma #
aseh #:
but thou shalt utterly overthrow them ,
and quite break down their images .
*
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 .
*
There shall nothing cast their young ,
nor be barren ,
in thy land :
the number of thy days I will fulfil .
*
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 .
*
And I will send hornets before thee ,
which shall drive out the Hivite ,
the Canaanite K @
na #
aniy #,
and the Hittite ,
from before thee .
*
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 .
*
By little and little I will drive them out from before thee ,
until thou be increased ,
and inherit the land .
*
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 .
*
Thou shalt make no covenant with them ,
nor with their gods .
*
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 .
