1"You must not give a false report. Do not make common cause with the wicked to be a malicious witness. 1לֹ֥א תִשָּׂ֖א שֵׁ֣מַע שָׁ֑וְא אַל־ תָּ֤שֶׁת יָֽדְךָ֙ עִם־ רָשָׁ֔ע לִהְיֹ֖ת עֵ֥ד חָמָֽס׃ ס
2"You must not follow a crowd in doing evil things; in a lawsuit you must not offer testimony that agrees with a crowd so as to pervert justice,2לֹֽא־ תִהְיֶ֥ה אַחֲרֵֽי־ רַבִּ֖ים לְרָעֹ֑ת וְלֹא־ תַעֲנֶ֣ה עַל־ רִ֗ב לִנְטֹ֛ת אַחֲרֵ֥י רַבִּ֖ים לְהַטֹּֽת׃
3and you must not show partiality to a poor man in his lawsuit. 3וְדָ֕ל לֹ֥א תֶהְדַּ֖ר בְּרִיבֽוֹ׃ ס
4"If you encounter your enemy's ox or donkey wandering off, you must by all means return it to him.4כִּ֣י תִפְגַּ֞ע שׁ֧וֹר אֹֽיִבְךָ֛ א֥וֹ חֲמֹר֖וֹ תֹּעֶ֑ה הָשֵׁ֥ב תְּשִׁיבֶ֖נּוּ לֽוֹ׃ ס
5If you see the donkey of someone who hates you fallen under its load, you must not ignore him, but be sure to help him with it. 5כִּֽי־ תִרְאֶ֞ה חֲמ֣וֹר שֹׂנַאֲךָ֗ רֹבֵץ֙ תַּ֣חַת מַשָּׂא֔וֹ וְחָדַלְתָּ֖ מֵעֲזֹ֣ב ל֑וֹ עָזֹ֥ב תַּעֲזֹ֖ב עִמּֽוֹ׃ ס
6"You must not turn away justice for your poor people in their lawsuits.6לֹ֥א תַטֶּ֛ה מִשְׁפַּ֥ט אֶבְיֹנְךָ֖ בְּרִיבֽוֹ׃
7Keep your distance from a false charge--do not kill the innocent and the righteous, for I will not justify the wicked. 7מִדְּבַר־ שֶׁ֖קֶר תִּרְחָ֑ק וְנָקִ֤י וְצַדִּיק֙ אַֽל־ תַּהֲרֹ֔ג כִּ֥י לֹא־ אַצְדִּ֖יק רָשָֽׁע׃
8"You must not accept a bribe, for a bribe blinds those who see and subverts the words of the righteous. 8וְשֹׁ֖חַד לֹ֣א תִקָּ֑ח כִּ֤י הַשֹּׁ֙חַד֙ יְעַוֵּ֣ר פִּקְחִ֔ים וִֽיסַלֵּ֖ף דִּבְרֵ֥י צַדִּיקִֽים׃
9"You must not oppress a foreigner, since you know the life of a foreigner, for you were foreigners in the land of Egypt. 9וְגֵ֖ר לֹ֣א תִלְחָ֑ץ וְאַתֶּ֗ם יְדַעְתֶּם֙ אֶת־ נֶ֣פֶשׁ הַגֵּ֔ר כִּֽי־ גֵרִ֥ים הֱיִיתֶ֖ם בְּאֶ֥רֶץ מִצְרָֽיִם׃
10"For six years you are to sow your land and gather in its produce.10וְשֵׁ֥שׁ שָׁנִ֖ים תִּזְרַ֣ע אֶת־ אַרְצֶ֑ךָ וְאָסַפְתָּ֖ אֶת־ תְּבוּאָתָֽהּ׃
11But in the seventh year you must let it lie fallow and leave it alone so that the poor of your people may eat, and what they leave any animal in the field may eat; you must do likewise with your vineyard and your olive grove.11וְהַשְּׁבִיעִ֞ת תִּשְׁמְטֶ֣נָּה וּנְטַשְׁתָּ֗הּ וְאָֽכְלוּ֙ אֶבְיֹנֵ֣י עַמֶּ֔ךָ וְיִתְרָ֕ם תֹּאכַ֖ל חַיַּ֣ת הַשָּׂדֶ֑ה כֵּֽן־ תַּעֲשֶׂ֥ה לְכַרְמְךָ֖ לְזֵיתֶֽךָ׃
12For six days you are to do your work, but on the seventh day you must cease, in order that your ox and your donkey may rest and that your female servant's son and any hired help may refresh themselves. 12שֵׁ֤שֶׁת יָמִים֙ תַּעֲשֶׂ֣ה מַעֲשֶׂ֔יךָ וּבַיּ֥וֹם הַשְּׁבִיעִ֖י תִּשְׁבֹּ֑ת לְמַ֣עַן יָנ֗וּחַ שֽׁוֹרְךָ֙ וַחֲמֹרֶ֔ךָ וְיִנָּפֵ֥שׁ בֶּן־ אֲמָתְךָ֖ וְהַגֵּֽר׃
13"Pay attention to do everything I have told you, and do not even mention the names of other gods--do not let them be heard on your lips. 13וּבְכֹ֛ל אֲשֶׁר־ אָמַ֥רְתִּי אֲלֵיכֶ֖ם תִּשָּׁמֵ֑רוּ וְשֵׁ֨ם אֱלֹהִ֤ים אֲחֵרִים֙ לֹ֣א תַזְכִּ֔ירוּ לֹ֥א יִשָּׁמַ֖ע עַל־ פִּֽיךָ׃
14"Three times in the year you must make a pilgrim feast to me.14שָׁלֹ֣שׁ רְגָלִ֔ים תָּחֹ֥ג לִ֖י בַּשָּׁנָֽה׃
15You are to observe the Feast of Unleavened Bread; seven days you must eat bread made without yeast, as I commanded you, at the appointed time of the month of Abib, for at that time you came out of Egypt. No one may appear before me empty-handed. 15אֶת־ חַ֣ג הַמַּצּוֹת֮ תִּשְׁמֹר֒ שִׁבְעַ֣ת יָמִים֩ תֹּאכַ֨ל מַצּ֜וֹת כַּֽאֲשֶׁ֣ר צִוִּיתִ֗ךָ לְמוֹעֵד֙ חֹ֣דֶשׁ הָֽאָבִ֔יב כִּי־ ב֖וֹ יָצָ֣אתָ מִמִּצְרָ֑יִם וְלֹא־ יֵרָא֥וּ פָנַ֖י רֵיקָֽם׃
16"You are also to observe the Feast of Harvest, the firstfruits of your labors that you have sown in the field, and the Feast of Ingathering at the end of the year when you have gathered in your harvest out of the field.16וְחַ֤ג הַקָּצִיר֙ בִּכּוּרֵ֣י מַעֲשֶׂ֔יךָ אֲשֶׁ֥ר תִּזְרַ֖ע בַּשָּׂדֶ֑ה וְחַ֤ג הָֽאָסִף֙ בְּצֵ֣את הַשָּׁנָ֔ה בְּאָסְפְּךָ֥ אֶֽת־ מַעֲשֶׂ֖יךָ מִן־ הַשָּׂדֶֽה׃
17At three times in the year all your males will appear before the Lord GOD. 17שָׁלֹ֥שׁ פְּעָמִ֖ים בַּשָּׁנָ֑ה יֵרָאֶה֙ כָּל־ זְכ֣וּרְךָ֔ אֶל־ פְּנֵ֖י הָאָדֹ֥ן ׀ יְהוָֽה׃
18"You must not offer the blood of my sacrifice with bread containing yeast; the fat of my festal sacrifice must not remain until morning.18לֹֽא־ תִזְבַּ֥ח עַל־ חָמֵ֖ץ דַּם־ זִבְחִ֑י וְלֹֽא־ יָלִ֥ין חֵֽלֶב־ חַגִּ֖י עַד־ בֹּֽקֶר׃
19The first of the firstfruits of your soil you must bring to the house of the LORD your God. "You must not cook a young goat in its mother's milk. 19רֵאשִׁ֗ית בִּכּוּרֵי֙ אַדְמָ֣תְךָ֔ תָּבִ֕יא בֵּ֖ית יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֶ֑יךָ לֹֽא־ תְבַשֵּׁ֥ל גְּדִ֖י בַּחֲלֵ֥ב אִמּֽוֹ׃ ס
20"I am going to send an angel before you to protect you as you journey and to bring you into the place that I have prepared.20הִנֵּ֨ה אָנֹכִ֜י שֹׁלֵ֤חַ מַלְאָךְ֙ לְפָנֶ֔יךָ לִשְׁמָרְךָ֖ בַּדָּ֑רֶךְ וְלַהֲבִ֣יאֲךָ֔ אֶל־ הַמָּק֖וֹם אֲשֶׁ֥ר הֲכִנֹֽתִי׃
21Take heed because of him, and obey his voice; do not rebel against him, for he will not pardon your transgressions, for my name is in him.21הִשָּׁ֧מֶר מִפָּנָ֛יו וּשְׁמַ֥ע בְּקֹל֖וֹ אַל־ תַּמֵּ֣ר בּ֑וֹ כִּ֣י לֹ֤א יִשָּׂא֙ לְפִשְׁעֲכֶ֔ם כִּ֥י שְׁמִ֖י בְּקִרְבּֽוֹ׃
22But if you diligently obey him and do all that I command, then I will be an enemy to your enemies, and I will be an adversary to your adversaries.22כִּ֣י אִם־ שָׁמֹ֤עַ תִּשְׁמַע֙ בְּקֹל֔וֹ וְעָשִׂ֕יתָ כֹּ֖ל אֲשֶׁ֣ר אֲדַבֵּ֑ר וְאָֽיַבְתִּי֙ אֶת־ אֹ֣יְבֶ֔יךָ וְצַרְתִּ֖י אֶת־ צֹרְרֶֽיךָ׃
23For my angel will go before you and bring you to the Amorites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Canaanites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, and I will destroy them completely. 23כִּֽי־ יֵלֵ֣ךְ מַלְאָכִי֮ לְפָנֶיךָ֒ וֶהֱבִֽיאֲךָ֗ אֶל־ הָֽאֱמֹרִי֙ וְהַ֣חִתִּ֔י וְהַפְּרִזִּי֙ וְהַֽכְּנַעֲנִ֔י הַחִוִּ֖י וְהַיְבוּסִ֑י וְהִכְחַדְתִּֽיו׃
24"You must not bow down to their gods; you must not serve them or do according to their practices. Instead you must completely overthrow them and smash their standing stones to pieces.24לֹֽא־ תִשְׁתַּחֲוֶ֤ה לֵאלֹֽהֵיהֶם֙ וְלֹ֣א תָֽעָבְדֵ֔ם וְלֹ֥א תַעֲשֶׂ֖ה כְּמַֽעֲשֵׂיהֶ֑ם כִּ֤י הָרֵס֙ תְּהָ֣רְסֵ֔ם וְשַׁבֵּ֥ר תְּשַׁבֵּ֖ר מַצֵּבֹתֵיהֶֽם׃
25You must serve the LORD your God, and he will bless your bread and your water, and I will remove sickness from your midst.25וַעֲבַדְתֶּ֗ם אֵ֚ת יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹֽהֵיכֶ֔ם וּבֵרַ֥ךְ אֶֽת־ לַחְמְךָ֖ וְאֶת־ מֵימֶ֑יךָ וַהֲסִרֹתִ֥י מַחֲלָ֖ה מִקִּרְבֶּֽךָ׃
26No woman will miscarry her young or be barren in your land. I will fulfill the number of your days. 26לֹ֥א תִהְיֶ֛ה מְשַׁכֵּלָ֥ה וַעֲקָרָ֖ה בְּאַרְצֶ֑ךָ אֶת־ מִסְפַּ֥ר יָמֶ֖יךָ אֲמַלֵּֽא׃
27"I will send my terror before you, and I will destroy all the people whom you encounter; I will make all your enemies turn their backs to you.27אֶת־ אֵֽימָתִי֙ אֲשַׁלַּ֣ח לְפָנֶ֔יךָ וְהַמֹּתִי֙ אֶת־ כָּל־ הָעָ֔ם אֲשֶׁ֥ר תָּבֹ֖א בָּהֶ֑ם וְנָתַתִּ֧י אֶת־ כָּל־ אֹיְבֶ֛יךָ אֵלֶ֖יךָ עֹֽרֶף׃
28I will send hornets before you that will drive out the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite before you.28וְשָׁלַחְתִּ֥י אֶת־ הַצִּרְעָ֖ה לְפָנֶ֑יךָ וְגֵרְשָׁ֗ה אֶת־ הַחִוִּ֧י אֶת־ הַֽכְּנַעֲנִ֛י וְאֶת־ הַחִתִּ֖י מִלְּפָנֶֽיךָ׃
29I will not drive them out before you in one year, lest the land become desolate and the wild animals multiply against you.29לֹ֧א אֲגָרְשֶׁ֛נּוּ מִפָּנֶ֖יךָ בְּשָׁנָ֣ה אֶחָ֑ת פֶּן־ תִּהְיֶ֤ה הָאָ֙רֶץ֙ שְׁמָמָ֔ה וְרַבָּ֥ה עָלֶ֖יךָ חַיַּ֥ת הַשָּׂדֶֽה׃
30Little by little I will drive them out before you, until you become fruitful and inherit the land.30מְעַ֥ט מְעַ֛ט אֲגָרְשֶׁ֖נּוּ מִפָּנֶ֑יךָ עַ֚ד אֲשֶׁ֣ר תִּפְרֶ֔ה וְנָחַלְתָּ֖ אֶת־ הָאָֽרֶץ׃
31I will set your boundaries from the Red Sea 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 will drive them out before you. 31וְשַׁתִּ֣י אֶת־ גְּבֻלְךָ֗ מִיַּם־ סוּף֙ וְעַד־ יָ֣ם פְּלִשְׁתִּ֔ים וּמִמִּדְבָּ֖ר עַד־ הַנָּהָ֑ר כִּ֣י ׀ אֶתֵּ֣ן בְּיֶדְכֶ֗ם אֵ֚ת יֹשְׁבֵ֣י הָאָ֔רֶץ וְגֵרַשְׁתָּ֖מוֹ מִפָּנֶֽיךָ׃
32"You must make no covenant with them or with their gods.32לֹֽא־ תִכְרֹ֥ת לָהֶ֛ם וְלֵאלֹֽהֵיהֶ֖ם בְּרִֽית׃
33They must not live in your land, lest they make you sin against me, for if you serve their gods, it will surely be a snare to you." 33לֹ֤א יֵשְׁבוּ֙ בְּאַרְצְךָ֔ פֶּן־ יַחֲטִ֥יאוּ אֹתְךָ֖ לִ֑י כִּ֤י תַעֲבֹד֙ אֶת־ אֱלֹ֣הֵיהֶ֔ם כִּֽי־ יִהְיֶ֥ה לְךָ֖ לְמוֹקֵֽשׁ׃ פ
