1 |You shall not bear a false report; do not join your hand with a wicked man to be a malicious witness.
2 |You shall not follow the masses in doing evil, nor shall you testify in a dispute so as to turn aside after a multitude in order to pervert [justice];
3 nor shall you be partial to a poor man in his dispute.
4 |If you meet your enemy's ox or his donkey wandering away, you shall surely return it to him.
5 |If you see the donkey of one who hates you lying [helpless] under its load, you shall refrain from leaving it to him, you shall surely release [it] with him.
6 |You shall not pervert the justice [due] to your needy [brother] in his dispute.
7 |Keep far from a false charge, and do not kill the innocent or the righteous, for I will not acquit the guilty.
8 |You shall not take a bribe, for a bribe blinds the clear-sighted and subverts the cause of the just.
9 |You shall not oppress a stranger, since you yourselves know the feelings of a stranger, for you [also] were strangers in the land of Egypt.
10 |You shall sow your land for six years and gather in its yield,
11 but [on] the seventh year you shall let it rest and lie fallow, so that the needy of your people may eat; and whatever they leave the beast of the field may eat. You are to do the same with your vineyard [and] your olive grove.
12 |Six days you are to do your work, but on the seventh day you shall cease [from labor] so that your ox and your donkey may rest, and the son of your female slave, as well as your stranger, may refresh themselves.
13 |Now concerning everything which I have said to you, be on your guard; and do not mention the name of other gods, nor let [them] be heard from your mouth.
14 |Three times a year you shall celebrate a feast to Me.
15 |You shall observe the Feast of Unleavened Bread; for seven days you are to eat unleavened bread, as I commanded you, at the appointed time in the month Abib, for in it you came out of Egypt. And none shall appear before Me empty-handed.
16 |Also [you shall observe] the Feast of the Harvest [of] the first fruits of your labors [from] what you sow in the field; also the Feast of the Ingathering at the end of the year when you gather in [the fruit of] your labors from the field.
17 |Three times a year all your males shall appear before the Lord GOD.
18 |You shall not offer the blood of My sacrifice with leavened bread; nor is the fat of My feast to remain overnight until morning.
19 |You shall bring the choice first fruits of your soil into the house of the LORD your God. |You are not to boil a young goat in the milk of its mother.
20 |Behold, I am going to send an angel before you to guard you along the way and to bring you into the place which I have prepared.
21 |Be on your guard before him and obey his voice; do not be rebellious toward him, for he will not pardon your transgression, since My name is in him.
