1 ¶ You shall not spread a false report: you shall not join with the wicked to be an unrighteous witness.

2 You shall not follow the crowd to do evil; when you testify at a trial, you shall not go along with the majority to pervert justice:

3 Neither shall you show favoritism to a poor man in his lawsuit.

4 If you find your enemy’s ox or his donkey wandering away, you shall bring it back to him.

5 If you see the donkey of someone who hates you lying helpless under its load, and do not want to help him, you must help him.

6 You shall not deny justice to the poor among you in his lawsuit.

7 Keep far from a false matter; and be careful not to execute the innocent and the righteous: for I will not excuse the wicked.

8 You must never take a gift or bribe: for the gift blinds the wise, and perverts the words of the righteous.

9 Also you must not oppress a foreigner: for you know what it is like to be a foreigner, seeing you were foreigners in the land of Egypt.

10 ¶ You shall sow your land, and gather in its yield, for six years:

11 But on the seventh year you shall let it rest and lie fallow; that the poor of your people may eat: and what they leave the beasts of the field shall eat. You shall do the same with your vineyard, and your olive orchard.

12 Six days you shall do your work, but on the seventh day you shall rest: so that your ox and your donkey may rest, and the son of your maid, and the foreigner, may be refreshed.

13 Pay careful attention to everything I have said to you: do not mention the name of other gods, or let them be heard on your lips.

14 Three times in the year you shall keep a feast to me.

15 You shall keep the feast of unleavened bread: (you shall eat unleavened bread for seven days, as I commanded you, at the time appointed in the month Abib; because that is when you left Egypt: and none shall appear in my presence empty handed:)

16 Also keep the feast of harvest, the first fruits of your labor, of your sowing in the field: and the feast of ingathering, at the end of the year, when you have gathered the fruit of your labor from the field.

17 All your men should appear before the Lord GOD three times a year.

18 You shall not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leavened bread; nor shall the fat of my sacrifice remain until the morning.

19 You shall bring the first of the first fruits of your land into the house of the LORD your God. You shall not boil a kid in its mother’s milk.

20 ¶ Behold, I am sending an Angel before you, to guard you on the way, and to bring you to the place that I have prepared.

21 Be attentive to him, and listen to his voice, do not provoke him; for he will not excuse your transgressions: for my name is in him.

22 But if you will indeed listen to him, and do everything that I say; then I will be an enemy to your enemies, and an adversary to your adversaries.

23 For my Angel will go before you, and bring you to the Amorites, and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites: and I will wipe them out.

24 You must not bow down to their gods, or serve them, or do the things they do: but you must tear them down, and smash their images.

25 And you shall serve the LORD your God, and he will bless your bread, and your water; and I will remove sickness from among you.

26 None shall lose her young by miscarriage, or be barren, in your land: I will give each of you a full number of years.

27 I will send my terror before you, and will throw into a panic all the people you come to, and I will make all your enemies flee from you.

28 And I will send hornets before you, which shall drive out the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite, before you.

29 I will not drive them out before you in one year; lest the land become desolate, and the wild beasts multiply against you.

30 But little by little I will drive them out before you, until you are numerous enough to take possession of the land.

31 And I will extend your boundary 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.

32 You must not make any covenant with them, or with their gods.

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.
