Chapter 23
Exod ASV 23:1  Thou shalt not take up a false report: put not thy hand with the wicked to be an unrighteous witness.
Exod ASV 23:2  Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil; neither shalt thou speak in a cause to turn aside after a multitude to wrest justice:
Exod ASV 23:3  neither shalt thou favor a poor man in his cause.
Exod ASV 23:4  If thou meet thine enemy’s ox or his ass going astray, thou shalt surely bring it back to him again.
Exod ASV 23:5  If thou see the ass of him that hateth thee lying under his burden, thou shalt forbear to leave him, thou shalt surely release it with him.
Exod ASV 23:6  Thou shalt not wrest the justice due to thy poor in his cause.
Exod ASV 23:7  Keep thee far from a false matter; and the innocent and righteous slay thou not: for I will not justify the wicked.
Exod ASV 23:8  And thou shalt take no bribe: for a bribe blindeth them that have sight, and perverteth the words of the righteous.
Exod ASV 23:9  And a sojourner shalt thou not oppress: for ye know the heart of a sojourner, seeing ye were sojourners in the land of Egypt.
Exod ASV 23:10  And six years thou shalt sow thy land, and shalt gather in the increase thereof:
Exod ASV 23:11  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.
Exod ASV 23:12  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 sojourner, may be refreshed.
Exod ASV 23:13  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.
Exod ASV 23:14  Three times thou shalt keep a feast unto me in the year.
Exod ASV 23:15  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:
Exod ASV 23:16  and the feast of harvest, the first-fruits of thy labors, which thou sowest in the field: and the feast of ingathering, at the end of the year, when thou gatherest in thy labors out of the field.
Exod ASV 23:17  Three times in the year all thy males shall appear before the Lord Jehovah.
Exod ASV 23:18  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.
Exod ASV 23:19  The first of the first-fruits of thy ground thou shalt bring into the house of Jehovah thy God. Thou shalt not boil a kid in its mother’s milk.
Exod ASV 23:20  Behold, I send an angel before thee, to keep thee by the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared.
Exod ASV 23:21  Take ye heed before him, and hearken unto his voice; provoke him not; for he will not pardon your transgression: for my name is in him.
Exod ASV 23:22  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.
Exod ASV 23:23  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.
Exod ASV 23:24  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.
Exod ASV 23:25  And ye shall serve Jehovah your God, and he will bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee.
Exod ASV 23:26  There shall none cast her young, nor be barren, in thy land: the number of thy days I will fulfil.
Exod ASV 23:27  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.
Exod ASV 23:28  And I will send the hornet before thee, which shall drive out the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite, from before thee.
Exod ASV 23:29  I will not drive them out from before thee in one year, lest the land become desolate, and the beasts of the field multiply against thee.
Exod ASV 23:30  By little and little I will drive them out from before thee, until thou be increased, and inherit the land.
Exod ASV 23:31  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.
Exod ASV 23:32  Thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor with their gods.
Exod ASV 23:33  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.
