New American Standard Bible 1995
Exodus 23:5-15
51If 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“2You shall not pervert the justice due to your needy brother in his dispute. 73Keep far from a false charge, and 4do not kill the innocent or the righteous, for 5I will not acquit the guilty.
8“6You shall not take a bribe, for a bribe blinds the clear-sighted and 7subverts the cause of the just.
9“8You shall not oppress a 9stranger, since you yourselves know the 10feelings of a 11stranger, for you also were 12strangers in the land of Egypt.
10“13You shall sow your land for six years and gather in its yield, 11but on the seventh year you shall let it 14rest 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“15Six 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 16your stranger, may refresh themselves. 13Now 17concerning everything which I have said to you, be on your guard; and 18do not mention the name of other gods, nor let them be heard 19from your mouth.
14“20Three times a year you shall celebrate a feast to Me. 15You shall observe 21the Feast of Unleavened Bread; for seven days you are to eat unleavened bread, as I commanded you, at the appointed time in the 22month Abib, for in it you came out of Egypt. And 2324none shall appear before Me empty-handed.
