Exodus 23:1-12

Thou shalt not raise
<05375> (8799)
a false
<07723>
report
<08088>_:
put
<07896> (8799)
not thine hand
<03027>
with the wicked
<07563>
to be an unrighteous
<02555>
witness
<05707>_.
{raise: or, receive}
Thou shalt not follow
<0310>
a multitude
<07227>
to [do] evil
<07451>_;
neither shalt thou speak
<06030> (8799)
in a cause
<07379>
to decline
<05186> (8800)
after
<0310>
many
<07227>
to wrest
<05186> (8687)
[judgment]: {speak: Heb. answer}
Neither shalt thou countenance
<01921> (8799)
a poor
<01800>
man in his cause
<07379>_.
If thou meet
<06293> (8799)
thine enemy's
<0341> (8802)
ox
<07794>
or his ass
<02543>
going astray
<08582> (8802)_,
thou shalt surely
<07725> (8687)
bring it back
<07725> (0)
to him again
<07725> (8686)_.
If thou see
<07200> (8799)
the ass
<02543>
of him that hateth
<08130> (8802)
thee lying
<07257> (8802)
under his burden
<04853>_,
and wouldest forbear
<02308> (8804)
to help
<05800> (8800)
him, thou shalt surely
<05800> (8800)
help
<05800> (8799)
with him. {and...: or, wilt thou cease to help him? or, and wouldest cease to leave thy business for him: thou shalt surely leave it to join with him}
Thou shalt not wrest
<05186> (8686)
the judgment
<04941>
of thy poor
<034>
in his cause
<07379>_.
Keep thee far
<07368> (8799)
from a false
<08267>
matter
<01697>_;
and the innocent
<05355>
and righteous
<06662>
slay
<02026> (8799)
thou not: for I will not justify
<06663> (8686)
the wicked
<07563>_.
And thou shalt take
<03947> (8799)
no gift
<07810>_:
for the gift
<07810>
blindeth
<05786> (8762)
the wise
<06493>_,
and perverteth
<05557> (8762)
the words
<01697>
of the righteous
<06662>_.
{the wise: Heb. the seeing}
Also thou shalt not oppress
<03905> (8799)
a stranger
<01616>_:
for ye know
<03045> (8804)
the heart
<05315>
of a stranger
<01616>_,
seeing
<03588>
ye were strangers
<01616>
in the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>_.
{heart: Heb. soul}
And six
<08337>
years
<08141>
thou shalt sow
<02232> (8799)
thy land
<0776>_,
and shalt gather
<0622> (8804)
in the fruits
<08393>
thereof:
But the seventh
<07637>
[year] thou shalt let it rest
<08058> (8799)
and lie
<05203> (8804)
still; that the poor
<034>
of thy people
<05971>
may eat
<0398> (8804)_:
and what they leave
<03499>
the beasts
<02416>
of the field
<07704>
shall eat
<0398> (8799)_.
In like manner thou shalt deal
<06213> (8799)
with thy vineyard
<03754>_,
[and] with thy oliveyard
<02132>_.
{oliveyard: or, olive trees}
Six
<08337>
days
<03117>
thou shalt do
<06213> (8799)
thy work
<04639>_,
and on the seventh
<07637>
day
<03117>
thou shalt rest
<07673> (8799)_:
that thine ox
<07794>
and thine ass
<02543>
may rest
<05117> (8799)_,
and the son
<01121>
of thy handmaid
<0519>_,
and the stranger
<01616>_,
may be refreshed
<05314> (8735)_.
