1Thou shalt not take up a false report : put not thy hand with the wicked to be an unrighteous witness . 2Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil ; neither shalt thou speak in a cause to turn aside after a multitude to wrest justice : 3neither shalt thou favor a poor man in his cause . 4If thou meet thine enemy’s ox or his ass going astray , thou shalt surely bring it back to him again . 5If thou see the ass of him that hateth thee lying under his burden , thou shalt forbear to leave him , thou shalt surely release it with him . 6Thou shalt not wrest the justice due to thy poor in his cause . 7Keep thee far from a false matter ; and the innocent and righteous slay thou not : for I will not justify the wicked . 8And thou shalt take no bribe : for a bribe blindeth them that have sight, and perverteth the words of the righteous . 9And a sojourner shalt thou not oppress : for ye know the heart of a sojourner , seeing ye were sojourners in the land of Egypt .
Sabbath and Festivals
10And six years thou shalt sow thy land, and shalt gather in the increase thereof: 11but the seventh year thou shalt let it rest and lie fallow ; that the poor of thy people may eat: and what they leave the beast of the field shall eat. In like manner thou shalt deal with thy vineyard , and with thy oliveyard . 12Six days thou shalt do thy work , and on the seventh day thou shalt rest ; that thine ox and thine ass may have rest , and the son of thy handmaid, and the sojourner , may be refreshed . 13And in all things that I have said unto you take ye heed : and make no mention of the name of other gods, neither let it be heard out of thy mouth . 14Three times thou shalt keep a feast unto me in the year . 15The feast of unleavened bread shalt thou keep : seven days thou shalt eat unleavened bread , as I commanded thee , at the time appointed in the month Abib ( for in it thou camest out from Egypt ); and none shall appear before me empty : 16and the feast of harvest , the first-fruits of thy labors , which thou sowest in the field : and the feast of ingathering, at the end of the year , when thou gatherest in thy labors out of the field . 17Three times in the year all thy males shall appear before the Lord Jehovah . 18Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leavened bread ; neither shall the fat of my feast remain all night until the morning . 19The first of the first-fruits of thy ground thou shalt bring into the house of Jehovah thy God . Thou shalt not boil a kid in its mother’s milk .
God's Promises and Guidance
20Behold , I send an angel before thee , to keep thee by the way , and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared . 21Take ye heed before him , and hearken unto his voice ; provoke him not ; for he will not pardon your transgression : for my name is in him . 22But if thou shalt indeed hearken unto his voice , and do all that I speak ; then I will be an enemy unto thine enemies , and an adversary unto thine adversaries . 23For mine angel shall go before thee , and bring thee in unto the Amorite, and the Hittite , and the Perizzite , and the Canaanite , the Hivite , and the Jebusite : and I will cut them off . 24Thou shalt not bow down to their gods, nor serve them , nor do after their works ; but thou shalt utterly overthrow them , and break in pieces their pillars . 25And ye shall serve Jehovah your God , and he will bless thy bread , and thy water ; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee . 26There shall none cast her young , nor be barren , in thy land: the number of thy days I will fulfil . 27I will send my terror before thee , and will discomfit all the people to whom thou shalt come , and I will make all thine enemies turn their backs unto thee . 28And I will send the hornet before thee , which shall drive out the Hivite , the Canaanite , and the Hittite , from before thee . 29I will not drive them out from before thee in one year , lest the land become desolate , and the beasts of the field multiply against thee . 30By little and little I will drive them out from before thee , until thou be increased , and inherit the land . 31And I will set thy border from the Red Sea even unto the sea of the Philistines , and from the wilderness unto the River : for I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand : and thou shalt drive them out before thee . 32Thou shalt make no covenant with them , nor with their gods. 33They 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 .
