Exodus 23

1 “You shall not accept a lying voice. Neither shall you join your hand so as to give false testimony on behalf of the impious.

Not you must bear a report of falsehood may not you put hand your with a wicked [person] to be a witness of injustice.

2 You shall not follow the crowd in doing evil. Neither shall you go astray in judgment, by agreeing with the majority opinion, apart from the truth.

Not you must be after many [people] to wicked deeds and not you must testify on a case at law by turning aside after many [people] to thrust aside.

3 Likewise, you shall not show pity in judgment of the poor.

And a poor [person] not you must show partiality in case at law his.

4 If you come across an ox or a donkey of your enemy, which has gone astray, lead it back to him.

If you will meet [the] ox of enemy your or donkey his wandering off certainly you will return it to him.

5 If you see the donkey of one who hates you, fallen under its burden, you shall not pass by without lifting it up with him.

If you will see [the] donkey of [one who] hates you lying down under load its and you will refrain from leaving it certainly you will let [it] loose with him.

6 You shall not deviate in judgment of the poor.

Not you must turn aside [the] justice of needy [person] your in case at law his.

7 You shall flee from lies. The innocent and the just you shall not kill. For I shun the impious.

From a word of falsehood you will be distant and an innocent [person] and a righteous [person] may not you kill for not I will declare righteous a wicked [person].

8 Neither shall you accept bribes, which blind even the prudent and subvert the words of the just.

And a bribe not you must take for bribe it makes blind clear-sighted [people] so it may pervert [the] words of righteous [people].

9 You shall not harass a sojourner, for you know the life of a newcomer. For you yourselves also were sojourners in the land of Egypt.

And a sojourner not you must oppress and you you have known [the] life of the sojourner for sojourners you were in [the] land of Egypt.

10 For six years, you shall sow your land and gather its produce.

And six years you will sow land your and you will gather produce its.

11 But in the seventh year, you shall release it and cause it to rest, so that the poor of your people may eat. And whatever remains, let the beasts of the field eat it. So shall you do with your vineyard and your olive grove.

And the seventh [year] you will let rest it and you will leave fallow it and they will eat [the] needy [people] of people your and excess their it will eat [the] animal[s] of the field thus you will do to vineyard your to olive grove your.

12 For six days, you shall work. On the seventh day, you shall cease, so that your ox and your donkey may rest, and so that the newcomer and the son of your handmaid may be refreshed.

Six days you will do work your and on the day seventh you will rest so that it may rest ox your and donkey your so he may refresh himself [the] child of female slave your and the sojourner.

13 Preserve all that I have said to you. And by the names of foreign gods you shall not swear; neither shall these be heard from your mouth.

And to all that I have said to you you will take heed and [the] name of gods other not you will bring to remembrance not it will be heard on mouth your.

14 Three times in each year, you shall celebrate feasts to me.

Three feet you will celebrate a festival to me in the year.

15 You shall keep the solemnity of unleavened bread. For seven days you shall eat unleavened bread, just as I instructed you, at the time of the month of new grain, when you departed from Egypt. You shall not appear empty-handed in my sight,

[the] festival of The unleavened bread you will keep seven days you will eat unleavened bread just as I commanded you to [the] appointed time of [the] month of Abib for in it you came out from Egypt and not they will present themselves face my empty.

16 for it is the solemnity of the harvest of the first-fruits of your work, of whatever you have sown in the field. Likewise, it is a solemnity at the end of the season, when you will have gathered in all your crops from the field.

And [the] festival of the harvest [the] first-fruits of work your which you will sow in the field and [the] festival of the ingathering when goes out the year when gathering you work your from the field.

17 Three times a year, all your males shall appear before the Lord your God.

Three times in the year he will present himself every male your to [the] presence of the lord - Yahweh.

18 You shall not immolate the blood of my victim over leaven, nor shall the fat of my solemnity remain until morning.

Not you must sacrifice with leaven [the] blood of sacrifice my and not it will remain overnight [the] fat of festival sacrifice my until morning.

19 You shall carry the first grain of the land to the house of the Lord your God. You shall not cook a young goat in the milk of its mother.

[the] beginning of [the] first-fruits of Ground your you will bring [the] house of Yahweh God your not you must boil a kid in [the] milk of mother its.

20 Behold, I will send my Angel, who will go before you, and preserve you on your journey, and lead you into the place that I have prepared.

Here! I [am] about to send an angel before you to guard you on the journey and to bring you into the place which I have prepared.

21 Heed him, and hear his voice, and do not hold him in disregard. For he will not release you when you have sinned, and my name is in him.

Take care from before him and listen to voice his may not you cause bitterness in him for not he will forgive to transgression your for name my [is] within him.

22 But if you listen to his voice and do all that I say, I will be an enemy to your enemies, and I will afflict those who afflict you.

That except carefully you will listen to voice his and you will do all that I will say and I will be an enemy to enemies your and I will be a foe to opposers your.

23 And my Angel will go before you, and he will bring you to the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Canaanite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite, whom I will crush.

For he will go angel my before you and he will bring you to the Amorite[s] and the Hittite[s] and the Perizzite[s] and the Canaanite[s] the Hivite[s] and the Jebusite[s] and I will annihilate it.

24 You shall not adore their gods, nor worship them. You shall not do their works, but you shall destroy them and break apart their statues.

Not you must bow down to gods their and not you must be enticed to serve them and not you must make like works their for completely you will tear down them and totally you will shatter into pieces sacred pillars their.

25 And you shall serve the Lord your God, so that I may bless your bread and your waters, and so that I may take away sickness from your midst.

And you will serve Yahweh God your and he will bless food your and water your and I will remove sickness from midst your.

26 There will not be fruitless or barren ones in your land. I will fill up the number of your days.

Not anyone will be miscarrying and barren in land your [the] number of days your I will complete.

27 I will send my terror to run ahead of you, and I will kill all the people to whom you will enter. And I will turn the backs of all your enemies before you,

Terror my I will send before you and I will confuse every people which you will go among them and I will give all enemies your to you neck.

28 sending wasps ahead, so that they will put to flight the Hivite, and the Canaanite, and the Hittite, before you enter.

And I will send the hornet before you and it will drive out the Hivite[s] the Canaanite[s] and the Hittite[s] from to before you.

29 I will not cast them out from your face in one year, lest the land be reduced to a wilderness and the wild beasts increase against you.

Not I will drive out it from before you in a year one lest it should become the land a waste and it will become many on you [the] animal[s] of the field.

30 I will expel them little by little from your sight, until you have expanded and may possess the land.

Little little I will drive out it from before you until that you will be fruitful and you will possess the land.

31 Then I will set your limits to be from the Red Sea to the Sea of the Palestinians, and from the desert all the way to the river. I will deliver into your hands the inhabitants of the land, and I will cast them out from your sight.

And I will fix border your from [the] sea of reed[s] and to [the] sea of [the] Philistines and from [the] wilderness to the River for - I will give in hand your [the] inhabitants of the land and you will drive out them from before you.

32 You shall not enter into a pact with them, nor with their gods.

Not you must make to them and to gods their a covenant.

33 They may not live on your land, lest perhaps they may cause you to sin against me, if you serve their gods, which certainly would be a temptation for you.”

Not they will dwell in land your lest they should cause to sin you to me for you will serve gods their for it will become for you a snare.
