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