Exodus 23:6-11
6“1You shall not pervertH5186 the justiceH4941 due to your needyH34 brother in his disputeH7379. 72KeepH7368 farH7368 from a falseH8267 chargeH1697, and 3do not killH2026 the innocentH5355 or the righteousH6662, for 4I will not acquitH6663 the guiltyH7563.
8“5You shall not takeH3947 a bribeH7810, for a bribeH7810 blindsH5786 the clear-sightedH6493 and 6subvertsH5557 the causeH1697 of the justH6662.
9“7You shall not oppressH3905 a 8strangerH1616, since you yourselvesH864 knowH3045 the 9feelingsH5315 of a 10strangerH1616, for you also were 11strangersH1616 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714.
10“12You shall sowH2232 your landH776 for sixH8337 yearsH8141 and gatherH622 in its yieldH8393, 11but on the seventhH7637 yearH7637 you shall letH8058 it 13restH8058 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.
