23"You are not to spread a false report, nor shall you join forces with the wicked to be a malicious witness.H5375H7723H8088H7896H3027H7563H2555H57072You are not to follow the majority in doing wrong, and you are not to testify in a lawsuit so as to follow the majority and pervert justice.H310H7227H7451H6030H7379H5186H310H7227H51863You are not to show partiality to a poor man in his lawsuit.H1921H1800H73794"If you come across your enemy's ox or donkey wandering off, you are to certainly return it to him.H6293H341H7794H2543H8582H7725H7725H77255If you see your enemy's donkey lying helpless under its load, you must not abandon it, rather, you are to surely return it to him.H7200H2543H8130H7257H4853H2308H5800H5800H58006"You are not to pervert justice for the poor among you in their lawsuits.H5186H4941H34H73797Stay far away from a false charge, and don't kill the innocent or the righteous, because I won't acquit the guilty.H7368H8267H1697H5355H6662H2026H6663H75638You are not to take a bribe because a bribe blinds the clear-sighted and distorts the words of the righteous.H3947H7810H7810H5786H6493H5557H1697H66629You are not to oppress the resident alien, because you were aliens in the land of Egypt.H3905H1616H3045H5315H1616H3588H1616H776H471410"You are to sow your land and gather its crops for six years,H8337H8141H2232H776H622H839311but you are to let it rest the seventh year, leaving it unplanted. The poor of your people may eat from it, and the wild animals may eat what they leave. You are to do the same with your vineyards and olive groves.H7637H8058H5203H34H5971H398H3499H2416H7704H398H6213H3754H213212You are to do your work for six days, but on the seventh day you are to refrain from work so that your ox and donkey may rest, and so the son of your maidservant and the alien may be refreshed.H8337H3117H6213H4639H7637H3117H7673H7794H2543H5117H1121H519H1616H531413"Be careful about everything I've told you, and don't mention the name of other gods. Don't let them be heard in your mouth!H559H8104H2142H8034H312H430H8085H5921H631014"Three times a year you are to celebrate a festival for me.H7969H7272H2287H814115You are to observe the Festival of Unleavened Bread. As I commanded you, you are to eat unleavened bread for seven days at the appointed time in the month Abib, for in it you came out of Egypt. No one shall appear before me empty handed.H8104H2282H4682H398H4682H7651H3117H6680H4150H2320H24H3318H4714H7200H6440H738716You are to observe the Festival of Harvest, celebrating the first fruits of your work in planting the field, and the Festival of Ingathering at the end of the year, when you gather the fruit of your work from the field.H2282H7105H1061H4639H2232H7704H2282H614H3318H8141H622H4639H770417Three times a year all your males shall appear in the presence of the Lord God."H7969H6471H8141H2138H7200H6440H113H306818"You are not to offer the blood of my sacrifice with anything leavened, and you are not to let the fat portion of my sacrifice remain overnight until morning.H2076H1818H2077H2557H2459H2282H3885H124219"You are to bring the best of the first fruits of your soil to the house of the Lord your God. "You are not to boil a young goat in its mother's milk."H7225H1061H127H935H1004H3068H430H1310H1423H517H246120"Look, I'm sending an angel in front of you to guard you on the way and to bring you to the place I've prepared.H7971H4397H6440H8104H1870H935H4725H355921Be careful in his presence - be sure to obey him. Don't rebel against him, for he won't forgive your transgression, since my name is in him.H8104H6440H8085H6963H4843H5375H6588H8034H713022Indeed, if you carefully obey him and do everything that I say, then I'll be an enemy to your enemies and an adversary to your adversaries.H8085H8085H6963H6213H1696H340H341H6887H669623For my angel will go ahead of you and will bring you to the Amorites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Canaanites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, and I'll annihilate them.H4397H3212H6440H935H567H2850H6522H3669H2340H2983H358224You are not to bow down to their gods or serve them. You are not to follow their practices, but you are to completely overthrow them and smash their sacred stones to pieces.H7812H430H5647H6213H4639H2040H2040H7665H7665H467625You are to serve the Lord your God, and he will bless your food and water, and I'll remove sickness from you.H5647H3068H430H1288H3899H4325H5493H4245H5493H713026No woman will miscarry or be barren in your land, and I'll make every day of your life complete.24H7921H6135H776H4557H3117H439027"I'll go ahead of you and terrorize all the people to whom you are coming. I'll confuse your enemies and make them turn their backs on you and run away.H7971H367H6440H2000H5971H935H5414H341H620328I'll send hornets ahead of you and they'll drive out the Hivites, the Canaanites, and the Hittites before you.H7971H6880H6440H1644H2340H3669H2850H644029I won't drive them out before you in a single year, so that the land does not become desolate and so that wild do not overrun you.H1644H6440H259H8141H776H8077H2416H7704H722730I'll drive them out ahead of you little by little until you increase in numbers and possess the land.2328H4592H4592H1644H6440H6509H5157H77631"I'll set your borders from the Reed Sea to the Sea of the Philistines, and from the desert to the Euphrates River, for I'll bring the inhabitants of the land under your control, and you are to drive them out ahead of you.H7896H1366H5488H3220H3220H6430H4057H5104H5414H3427H776H3027H1644H644032You are not to make a covenant with them or with their gods.H3772H1285H43033They shall not live in your land. Otherwise they will cause you to sin against me. If you worship their gods, it will become a snare for you."H3427H776H2398H5647H430H4170
