Exodus 23:5-15

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:
