Exodus 23:1-9

1“1You shall not bearH5375 a falseH7723 reportH8088; do not joinH7896 your handH3027 with a wickedH7563 manH7563 to be a 2maliciousH2555 witnessH5707. 2You shall not followH1961H310 3the massesH7227 in doing evilH7463, norH3808 shall you 4testifyH6030 in a disputeH7379 so as to turnH5186 asideH5186 afterH310 5a multitudeH7227 in order to 6pervertH5186 justice; 37norH3808 shall you 8be partialH1921 to a poorH1800 manH1800 in his disputeH7379.

4“9IfH3588 you meetH6293 your enemy’sH340 oxH7794 orH176 his donkeyH2543 wanderingH8582 awayH8582, you shall surelyH7725 returnH7725 it to him. 510IfH3588 you seeH7200 the donkeyH2543 of one who hatesH8130 you lyingH7257 helpless underH8478 its loadH4853, you shall refrainH2308 from leavingH5800 it to him, you shall surelyH5800 releaseH5800 it with him.

6“11You shall not pervertH5186 the justiceH4941 due to your needyH34 brother in his disputeH7379. 712KeepH7368 farH7368 from a falseH8267 chargeH1697, and 13do not killH2026 the innocentH5355 or the righteousH6662, for 14I will not acquitH6663 the guiltyH7563.

8“15You shall not takeH3947 a bribeH7810, for a bribeH7810 blindsH5786 the clear-sightedH6493 and 16subvertsH5557 the causeH1697 of the justH6662.

9“17You shall not oppressH3905 a 18strangerH1616, since you yourselvesH864 knowH3045 the 19feelingsH5315 of a 20strangerH1616, for you also were 21strangersH1616 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714.
