New English Translation
Exodus 23:5-15
5If you see the donkey of someone who hates you fallen under its load, you must not ignore him, but be sure to help him with it.
6“You must not turn away justice for your poor people in their lawsuits.
7Keep your distance from a false charge – do not kill the innocent and the righteous, for I will not justify the wicked.
8“You must not accept a bribe, for a bribe blinds those who see and subverts the words of the righteous.
9“You must not oppress a foreigner, since you know the life of a foreigner, for you were foreigners in the land of Egypt.
10“For six years you are to sow your land and gather in its produce.
11But in the seventh year you must let it lie fallow and leave it alone so that the poor of your people may eat, and what they leave any animal in the field may eat; you must do likewise with your vineyard and your olive grove.
12For six days you are to do your work, but on the seventh day you must cease, in order that your ox and your donkey may rest and that your female servant’s son and any hired help may refresh themselves.
13“Pay attention to do everything I have told you, and do not even mention the names of other gods – do not let them be heard on your lips.
14“Three times in the year you must make a pilgrim feast to me.
15You are to observe the Feast of Unleavened Bread; seven days you must eat bread made without yeast, as I commanded you, at the appointed time of the month of Abib, for at that time you came out of Egypt. No one may appear before me empty-handed.
