¹“You shall not spread a false report . Don’t join your hand with the wicked to be a malicious witness .

²“You shall not follow a crowd to do evil . You shall not testify in court to side with a multitude to pervert justice.

³You shall not favour a poor man in his cause .

⁴“If you meet your enemy’s ox or his donkey going astray , you shall surely bring it back to him again .

⁵If you see the donkey of him who hates you fallen down under his burden , don’t leave him . You shall surely help him with it .

⁶“You shall not deny justice to your poor people in their lawsuits.

⁷“Keep far from a false charge , and don’t kill the innocent and righteous ; for I will not justify the wicked .

⁸“You shall take no bribe , for a bribe blinds those who have sight and perverts the words of the righteous .

⁹“You shall not oppress an alien , for you know the heart of an alien , since you were aliens in the land of Egypt .

¹⁰“For six years you shall sow your land, and shall gather in its increase ,

¹¹but the seventh year you shall let it rest and lie fallow , that the poor of your people may eat; and what they leave the animal of the field shall eat. In the same way , you shall deal with your vineyard and with your olive grove .

¹²“Six days you shall do your work , and on the seventh day you shall rest , that your ox and your donkey may have rest , and the son of your servant, and the alien may be refreshed .

¹³“Be careful to do all things that I have said to you ; and don’t invoke the name of other gods or even let them be heard out of your mouth .

¹⁴“You shall observe a feast to me three times a year .

¹⁵You shall observe the feast of unleavened bread . Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread , as I commanded you , at the time appointed in the month Abib (for in it you came out of Egypt ), and no one shall appear before me empty .

¹⁶And the feast of harvest , the first fruits of your labours , which you sow in the field ; and the feast of ingathering, at the end of the year , when you gather in your labours out of the field .

¹⁷Three times in the year all your males shall appear before the Lord GOD .

¹⁸“You shall not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leavened bread . The fat of my feast shall not remain all night until the morning .

¹⁹You shall bring the first of the first fruits of your ground into the house of the LORD your God .

“You shall not boil a young goat in its mother’s milk .

²⁰“Behold , I send an angel before you , to keep you by the way , and to bring you into the place which I have prepared .

²¹Pay attention to him , and listen to his voice . Don’t provoke him , for he will not pardon your disobedience, for my name is in him .

²²But if you indeed listen to his voice , and do all that I speak , then I will be an enemy to your enemies , and an adversary to your adversaries .

²³For my angel shall go before you , and bring you in to the Amorite, the Hittite , the Perizzite , the Canaanite , the Hivite , and the Jebusite ; and I will cut them off .

²⁴You shall not bow down to their gods, nor serve them , nor follow their practices , but you shall utterly overthrow them and demolish their pillars .

²⁵You shall serve the LORD your God , and he will bless your bread and your water , and I will take sickness away from amongst you .

²⁶No one will miscarry or be barren in your land. I will fulfil the number of your days .

²⁷I will send my terror before you , and will confuse all the people to whom you come , and I will make all your enemies turn their backs to you .

²⁸I will send the hornet before you , which will drive out the Hivite , the Canaanite , and the Hittite , from before you .

²⁹I will not drive them out from before you in one year , lest the land become desolate , and the animals of the field multiply against you .

³⁰Little by little I will drive them out from before you , until you have increased and inherit the land .

³¹I will set your border from the Red Sea even to the sea of the Philistines , and from the wilderness to the River ; for I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand , and you shall drive them out before you .

³²You shall make no covenant with them , nor with their gods.

³³They 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 .”
