Exodus 23

1 You shall not raise a false report: put not your hand with the wicked to be an unrighteous witness.
Compare verse
2 You shall not follow a multitude to do evil; neither shall you speak in a cause to decline after many to wrest judgment:
Compare verse
3 Neither shall you countenance a poor man in his cause.
Compare verse
4 If you meet your enemy's ox or his ass going astray, you shall surely bring it back to him again.
Compare verse
5 If you see the ass of him that hates you lying under his burden, and would forbear to help him, you shall surely help with him.
Compare verse
6 You shall not wrest the judgment of your poor in his cause.
Compare verse
7 Keep you far from a false matter; and the innocent and righteous slay you not: for I will not justify the wicked.
Compare verse
8 And you shall take no gift: for the gift blinds the wise, and perverts the words of the righteous.
Compare verse
9 Also you shall not oppress a stranger: for you know the heart of a stranger, seeing you were strangers in the land of Egypt.
Compare verse
10 And six years you shall sow your land, and shall gather in the fruits thereof:
Compare verse
11 But the seventh year you shall let it rest and lie still; that the poor of your people may eat: and what they leave the beasts of the field shall eat. In like manner you shall deal with your vineyard, and with your olive grove.
Compare verse
12 Six days you shall do your work, and on the seventh day you shall rest: that your ox and your ass may rest, and the son of your handmaid, and the stranger, may be refreshed.
Compare verse
13 And in all things that I have said to you be circumspect: and make no mention of the name of other gods, neither let it be heard out of your mouth.
Compare verse
14 Three times you shall keep a feast to me in the year.
Compare verse
15 You shall keep the feast of unleavened bread: (you shall eat unleavened bread seven days, as I commanded you, in the time appointed of the month Abib; for in it you came out from Egypt: and none shall appear before me empty:)
Compare verse
16 And the feast of harvest, the first fruits of your labors, which you have sown in the field: and the feast of ingathering, which is in the end of the year, when you have gathered in your labors out of the field.
Compare verse
17 Three items in the year all your males shall appear before the LORD God.
Compare verse
18 You shall not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leavened bread; neither shall the fat of my sacrifice remain until the morning.
Compare verse
19 The first of the first fruits of your land you shall bring into the house of the LORD your God. You shall not seethe a kid in his mother's milk.
Compare verse
20 Behold, I send an Angel before you, to keep you in the way, and to bring you into the place which I have prepared.
Compare verse
21 Beware of him, and obey his voice, provoke him not; for he will not pardon your transgressions: for my name is in him.
Compare verse
22 But if you shall indeed obey his voice, and do all that I speak; then I will be an enemy to your enemies, and an adversary to your adversaries.
Compare verse
23 For my Angel shall go before you, and bring you in to the Amorites, and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites: and I will cut them off.
Compare verse
24 You shall not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor do after their works: but you shall utterly overthrow them, and quite break down their images.
Compare verse
25 And you shall serve the LORD your God, and he shall bless your bread, and your water; and I will take sickness away from the middle of you.
Compare verse
26 There shall nothing cast their young, nor be barren, in your land: the number of your days I will fulfill.
Compare verse
27 I will send my fear before you, and will destroy all the people to whom you shall come, and I will make all your enemies turn their backs to you.
Compare verse
28 And I will send hornets before you, which shall drive out the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite, from before you.
Compare verse
29 I will not drive them out from before you in one year; lest the land become desolate, and the beast of the field multiply against you.
Compare verse
30 By little and little I will drive them out from before you, until you be increased, and inherit the land.
Compare verse
31 And I will set your bounds from the Red sea even to the sea of the Philistines, and from the desert to the river: for I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand; and you shall drive them out before you.
Compare verse
32 You shall make no covenant with them, nor with their gods.
Compare verse
33 They shall not dwell in your land, lest they make you sin against me: for if you serve their gods, it will surely be a snare to you.
