Exodus 23:5-15

51IfH3588 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“2You shall not pervertH5186 the justiceH4941 due to your needyH34 brother in his disputeH7379. 73KeepH7368 farH7368 from a falseH8267 chargeH1697, and 4do not killH2026 the innocentH5355 or the righteousH6662, for 5I will not acquitH6663 the guiltyH7563.

8“6You shall not takeH3947 a bribeH7810, for a bribeH7810 blindsH5786 the clear-sightedH6493 and 7subvertsH5557 the causeH1697 of the justH6662.

9“8You shall not oppressH3905 a 9strangerH1616, since you yourselvesH864 knowH3045 the 10feelingsH5315 of a 11strangerH1616, for you also were 12strangersH1616 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714.

10“13You shall sowH2232 your landH776 for sixH8337 yearsH8141 and gatherH622 in its yieldH8393, 11but on the seventhH7637 yearH7637 you shall letH8058 it 14restH8058 and lieH5203 fallowH5203, so that the needyH34 of your peopleH5971 may eatH398; and whatever they leaveH3499 the beastH2421 of the fieldH7704 may eatH398. You are to doH6213 the sameH3651 with your vineyardH3754 and your oliveH2132 groveH2132.

12“15SixH8337 daysH3117 you are to doH6213 your workH4639, but on the seventhH7637 dayH3117 you shall ceaseH7673 from labor soH4616 that your oxH7794 and your donkeyH2543 may restH5117, and the sonH1121 of your femaleH519 slaveH519, as well as 16your strangerH1616, may refreshH5314 themselves. 13Now 17concerning everythingH3605 whichH834 I have saidH559 to you, be on your guardH8104; and 18do not mentionH2142 the nameH8034 of otherH312 godsH430, norH3808 let them be heardH8085 19from your mouthH6310.

14“20ThreeH7969 timesH7272 a yearH8141 you shall celebrateH2287 a feastH2287 to Me. 15You shall observeH8104 21the FeastH2282 of UnleavenedH4682 BreadH4682; for sevenH7651 daysH3117 you are to eatH398 unleavenedH4682 breadH4682, as I commandedH6680 you, at the appointedH4150 timeH4150 in the 22monthH2320 AbibH24, for in it you cameH3318 out of EgyptH4714. And 2324noneH3808 shall appearH7200 beforeH6440 Me empty-handedH7387.
