Exodus 23

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

Thou shalt not take up a false report: put not thine hand with the wicked to be an unrighteous witness.

2 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.

Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil; neither shalt thou speak in a cause to turn aside after a multitude to wrest [judgment]:

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

neither shalt thou favour a poor man in his cause.

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

If thou meet thine enemy’s ox or his ass going astray, thou shalt surely bring it back to him again.

5 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.

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

Thou shalt not wrest the judgment of thy poor in his cause.

7 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].

Keep thee far from a false matter; and the innocent and righteous slay thou not: for I will not justify the wicked.

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

And thou shalt take no gift: for a gift blindeth them that have sight, and perverteth the words of the righteous.

9 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.

And a stranger shalt thou not oppress: for ye know the heart of a stranger, seeing ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.

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

And six years thou shalt sow thy land, and shalt gather in the increase thereof:

11 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.

but the seventh year thou shalt let it rest and lie fallow; that the poor of thy people may eat: and what they leave the beast of the field shall eat. In like manner thou shalt deal with thy vineyard, [and] with thy oliveyard.

12 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.

Six days thou shalt do thy work, and on the seventh day thou shalt rest: that thine ox and thine ass may have rest, and the son of thy handmaid, and the stranger, may be refreshed.

13 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.

And in all things that I have said unto you take ye heed: and make no mention of the name of other gods, neither let it be heard out of thy mouth.

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

Three times thou shalt keep a feast unto me in the year.

15 [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.

The feast of unleavened bread shalt thou keep: seven days thou shalt eat unleavened bread, as I commanded thee, at the time appointed in the month Abib (for in it thou camest out from Egypt); and none shall appear before me empty:

16 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.

and the feast of harvest, the firstfruits of thy labours, which thou sowest in the field: and the feast of ingathering, at the end of the year, when thou gatherest in thy labours out of the field.

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

Three times in the year all thy males shall appear before the Lord GOD.

18 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.

Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leavened bread; neither shall the fat of my feast remain all night until the morning.

19 [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.

The first of the firstfruits of thy ground thou shalt bring into the house of the LORD thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in its mother’s milk.

20 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.

Behold, I send an angel before thee, to keep thee by the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared.

21 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.

Take ye heed of him, and hearken unto his voice; provoke him not: for he will not pardon your transgression; for my name is in him.

22 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.

But if thou shalt indeed hearken unto 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 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.

For mine angel shall go before thee, and bring thee in unto the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Canaanite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite: and I will cut them off.

24 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.

Thou shalt not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor do after their works: but thou shalt utterly overthrow them, and break in pieces their pillars.

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

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

There shall none cast her young, nor be barren, in thy land: the number of thy days I will fulfill.

27 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.

I will send my terror before thee, and will discomfit 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 the hornet before you and it will drive out the Hivite[s] the Canaanite[s] and the Hittite[s] from to before you.

And I will send the hornet before thee, which shall drive out the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite, from before thee.

29 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.

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

By little and little I will drive them out from before thee, until thou be increased, and inherit the land.

31 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.

And I will set thy border from the Red Sea even unto the sea of the Philistines, and from the wilderness unto the River: for I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand; and thou shalt drive them out before thee.

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

Thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor with their gods.

33 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.

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.
