231 " You shall not bear a false report ; do not join your hand with a wicked man to be a malicious witness . 2 "You shall not follow e the masses in doing evil , nor shall you testify in a dispute so as to turn aside after a multitude in order to pervert justice; 3 nor shall you be partial to a poor man in his dispute . 4 " If you meet your enemy's ox or his donkey wandering away , you shall surely return it to him 5 " If you see the donkey of one who hates you lying helpless under its load , you shall refrain from leaving it to him, you shall surely release it with him. 6 " You shall not pervert the justice due to your needy brother in his dispute . 7 " Keep far from a false charge , and do not kill the innocent or the righteous , for I will not acquit the guilty . 8 " You shall not take a bribe , for a bribe blinds the clear-sighted and subverts the cause of the just . 9 " You shall not oppress a stranger , since you yourselves know the feelings of a stranger , for you also were strangers in the land of Egypt .
10 " You shall sow your land for six years and gather in its yield , 11 but on the seventh year you shall let it rest and lie fallow , so that the needy of your people may eat ; and whatever they leave the beast of the field may eat . You are to do the same with your vineyard and your olive grove . 12 " Six days you are to do your work , but on the seventh day you shall cease from labor so that your ox and your donkey may rest , and the son of your female slave , as well as your stranger , may refresh themselves. 13 "Now concerning everything which I have said to you, be on your guard ; and do not mention the name of other gods , nor let them be heard from your mouth .
14 " Three times a year you shall celebrate a feast to Me 15 "You shall observe the Feast of Unleavened Bread ; for seven days you are to eat unleavened bread , as I commanded you, at the appointed time in the month Abib , for in it you came out of Egypt . And none shall appear before Me empty-handed . 16 "Also you shall observe the Feast of the Harvest of the first fruits of your labors from what you sow in the field ; also the Feast of the Ingathering at the end of the year when you gather in the fruit of your labors from the field . 17 " Three times a year all your males shall appear before the Lord GOD . 18 " You shall not offer the blood of My sacrifice with leavened bread ; nor is the fat of My feast to remain overnight until morning . 19 "You shall bring the choice first fruits of your soil into the house of the Lord your God . " You are not to boil a young goat in the milk of its mother
20 "Behold , I am going to send an angel before you to guard you along the way and to bring you into the place which I have prepared . 21 "Be on your guard before e him and obey his voice ; do not be rebellious toward him, for he will not pardon your transgression , since My name is in him 22 "But if you truly obey his voice and do all that I say , then I will be an enemy to your enemies and an adversary to your adversaries . 23 " For My angel will go before you and bring you in to the land of the Amorites , the Hittites , the Perizzites , the Canaanites , the Hivites and the Jebusites ; and I will completely destroy them. 24 " You shall not worship their gods , nor serve them, nor do according to their deeds ; but you shall utterly overthrow them and break their sacred pillars in pieces . 25 " But you shall serve the Lord your God , and He will bless your bread and your water ; and I will remove sickness from your midst . 26 "There shall be no one miscarrying or barren in your land ; I will fulfill the number of your days . 27 "I will send My terror ahead of you, and throw into confusion all the people among whom you come , and I will make all your enemies turn their backs to you. 28 "I will send hornets ahead of you so that they will drive out the Hivites , the Canaanites , and the Hittites before e you. 29 " I will not drive them out before you in a single year , that the land may not become desolate and the beasts of the field become too numerous for you. 30 "I will drive them out before you little by little , until e you become fruitful and take possession of the land . 31 " I will fix your boundary from the Red e Sea to the sea of the Philistines , and from the wilderness to the River Euphrates; for I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand , and you will drive them out before you. 32 " You shall make no covenant with them or with their gods . 33 " They shall not live in your land , because they will make you sin against Me; for if you serve their gods , it will surely be a snare to you."
