Exodus 23

Revised Version 1895

1Thou shalt notH3808 takeH5375 upH5375 a falseH7723 reportH8088: putH7896 notH3808 thine handH3027 with the wickedH7563 to be an unrighteous witnessH5707. 2Thou shalt notH3808 followH310 a multitude to do evilH7451; neitherH3808 shalt thou speak in a causeH7379 to turnH5186 asideH5186 afterH310 a multitude to wrest judgmentH7451: 3neitherH3808 shalt thou favour a poorH1800 man in his causeH7379. 4IfH3588 thou meetH6293 thine enemy’s oxH7794 or his ass goingH7725 astrayH8582, thou shalt surelyH3588 bringH7725 it backH7725 to him againH7725. 5IfH3588 thou seeH7200 the ass of him that hateth thee lyingH7257 underH8478 his burdenH4853, and wouldest forbear to help him, thou shalt surelyH3588 help with him. 6Thou shalt notH3808 wrest the judgmentH4941 of thy poorH34 in his causeH7379. 7KeepH7368 thee farH7368 from a falseH8267 matterH1697; and the innocentH5355 and righteousH6662 slayH2026 thou notH3808: for I will notH3808 justifyH6663 the wickedH7563. 8And thou shalt takeH3947 noH3808 gift: for a gift blindeth them that have sight, and perverteth the wordsH1697 of the righteousH6662. 9And a strangerH1616 shalt thou notH3808 oppressH3905: for ye knowH3045 the heartH5315 of a strangerH1616, seeingH3588 ye were strangersH1616 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714. 10And sixH8337 yearsH8141 thou shalt sowH2232 thy landH776, and shalt gatherH622 in the increaseH8393 thereof: 11but the seventhH7637 yearH7637 thou shalt letH8058 it restH3499 and lieH5203 fallowH5203; that the poorH34 of thy peopleH5971 may eatH398: and whatH6213 they leaveH5203 the beastH2416 of the fieldH7704 shall eatH398. In like mannerH3651 thou shalt dealH6213 with thy vineyardH3754, and with thy oliveyard. 12SixH8337 daysH3117 thou shalt doH6213 thy workH4639, and on the seventhH7637 dayH3117 thou shalt restH5117: that thine oxH7794 and thine ass may have restH5117, and the sonH1121 of thy handmaidH519, and the strangerH1616, may be refreshedH5314. 13And in allH3605 things that I have saidH559 unto youH834 takeH8104 ye heedH8085: and makeH8085 noH3808 mentionH2142 of the nameH8034 of otherH312 godsH430, neitherH3808 letH3808 it be heardH8085 outH5921 of thy mouthH6310. 14ThreeH7969 timesH7272 thou shalt keep a feastH2287 unto me in the yearH8141. 15The feastH2282 of unleavenedH4682 breadH4682 shalt thou keepH8104: sevenH7651 daysH3117 thou shalt eatH398 unleavenedH4682 breadH4682, as I commandedH6680 thee, at the time appointedH4150 in the monthH2320 AbibH24 (for in it thou camest outH3318 from EgyptH4714); and noneH3808 shall appearH7200 beforeH6440 meH6440 emptyH7387: 16and the feastH2282 of harvestH7105, the firstfruits of thy labours, whichH834 thou sowest in the fieldH7704: and the feastH2282 of ingatheringH614, at the endH3318 of the yearH8141, when thou gatherest in thy labours outH3318 of the fieldH7704. 17ThreeH7969 timesH6471 in the yearH8141 allH3605 thy malesH2138 shall appearH7200 beforeH6440 the LordH3068 GODH3068. 18Thou shalt notH3808 offerH2076 the bloodH1818 of my sacrificeH2077 with leavenedH2557 breadH2557; neitherH3808 shall the fatH2459 of my feastH2282 remainH3885 allH5704 night untilH5704 the morningH1242. 19The firstH7225 of the firstfruits of thy groundH127 thou shalt bringH935 intoH935 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 thy GodH430. Thou shalt notH3808 seetheH1310 a kid in itsH935 mother’sH517 milkH2461. 20BeholdH2009, I sendH7971 an angelH4397 beforeH6440 thee, to keepH8104 thee by the wayH1870, and to bringH935 thee intoH413 the placeH4725 whichH834 I have preparedH3559. 21TakeH5375 ye heedH8085 of him, and hearken unto his voiceH6963; provoke him notH3808: for he will notH3808 pardonH5375 your transgressionH6588; for my nameH8034 is in him. 22But ifH518 thou shalt indeedH3588 hearken unto his voiceH6963, and doH6213 allH3605 that I speakH1696; then I will be an enemyH340 unto thine enemiesH340, and an adversary unto thine adversariesH6887. 23For mine angelH4397 shall goH935 beforeH6440 thee, and bringH935 thee in unto the AmoriteH567, and the HittiteH2850, and the PerizziteH6522, and the CanaaniteH3669, the HiviteH2340, and the JebusiteH2983: and I will cutH3582 them offH3582. 24Thou shalt notH3808 bowH7812 downH7812 to their godsH430, norH3808 serveH5647 them, norH3808 doH6213 afterH3588 their worksH4639: but thou shalt utterlyH2040 overthrowH2040 them, and breakH7665 in piecesH7665 their pillarsH4676. 25And ye shall serveH5647 the LORDH3068 your GodH430, and he shall blessH1288 thy breadH3899, and thy waterH4325; and I will takeH5493 sicknessH4245 awayH5493 from the midstH7130 of thee. 26There shall noneH3808 castH7921 herH4390 youngH3117, norH3808 be barrenH6135, in thy landH776: the numberH4557 of thy daysH3117 I will fulfillH4390. 27I will sendH7971 my terrorH367 beforeH6440 thee, and will discomfit allH3605 the peopleH5971 to whomH834 thou shalt comeH935, and I will makeH5414 allH3605 thine enemiesH341 turnH5414 their backsH6203 unto thee. 28And I will sendH7971 the hornetH6880 beforeH6440 thee, which shall driveH1644 outH7971 the HiviteH2340, the CanaaniteH3669, and the HittiteH2850, from beforeH6440 thee. 29I will notH3808 driveH1644 them outH1644 from beforeH6440 thee in one yearH8141; lestH6435 the landH776 becomeH1961 desolateH8077, and the beastH2416 of the fieldH7704 multiplyH7227 againstH5921 thee. 30By littleH4592 and littleH4592 I will driveH1644 them outH1644 from beforeH6440 thee, untilH5704 thou be increasedH6509, and inheritH5157 the landH776. 31And I will setH5414 thy borderH1366 from the Red SeaH3220 evenH5704 unto the seaH3220 of the PhilistinesH6430, and from the wildernessH4057 unto the RiverH5104: for I will deliverH5414 the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776 intoH776 your handH3027; and thou shalt driveH1644 them outH1644 beforeH6440 thee. 32Thou shalt makeH3772 noH3808 covenantH1285 with them, norH3808 with their godsH430. 33They shall notH3808 dwellH3427 in thy landH776, lestH6435 they makeH5647 thee sinH2398 againstH2398 meH1961: for ifH3588 thou serveH5647 their godsH430, it will surelyH3588 be a snareH4170 unto thee.
