Exodus 23:5-15

5If thou shalt seeH7200 the donkeyH2543 of him that hatethH8130 thee lyingH7257 under his burdenH4853, and wouldest forbearH2308 to helpH5800 him, thou shalt surelyH5800 helpH5800 with him.1 6Thou shalt not pervertH5186 the judgmentH4941 of thy poorH34 in his causeH7379. 7Keep thee farH7368 from a falseH8267 matterH1697; and the innocentH5355 and righteousH6662 slayH2026 thou not: for I will not justifyH6663 the wickedH7563. 8And thou shalt takeH3947 no bribeH7810: for the bribeH7810 blindethH5786 the wiseH6493, and pervertethH5557 the wordsH1697 of the righteousH6662.2 9Also thou shalt not oppressH3905 a strangerH1616: for ye knowH3045 the heartH5315 of a strangerH1616, seeingH3588 ye were strangersH1616 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714.3

10And sixH8337 yearsH8141 thou shalt sowH2232 thy landH776, and shalt gatherH622 in its fruitsH8393: 11But the seventhH7637 year thou shalt let it restH8058 and lieH5203 still; that the poorH34 of thy peopleH5971 may eatH398: and what they leaveH3499 the beastsH2416 of the fieldH7704 shall eatH398. In like manner thou shalt dealH6213 with thy vineyardH3754, and with thy oliveyardH2132.4 12SixH8337 daysH3117 thou shalt doH6213 thy workH4639, and on the seventhH7637 dayH3117 thou shalt restH7673: that thy oxH7794 and thy donkeyH2543 may restH5117, and the sonH1121 of thy handmaidH519, and the strangerH1616, may be refreshedH5314. 13And in all things that I have saidH559 to you be circumspectH8104: and make no mentionH2142 of the namesH8034 of otherH312 godsH430, neither let it be heardH8085 fromH5921 thy mouthH6310. 14ThreeH7969 timesH7272 thou shalt keep a feastH2287 to me in the yearH8141. 15Thou shalt keepH8104 the feastH2282 of unleavened breadH4682: (thou shalt eatH398 unleavened breadH4682 sevenH7651 daysH3117, as I commandedH6680 thee, in the time appointedH4150 of the monthH2320 AbibH24; for in it thou camest outH3318 from EgyptH4714: and none shall appearH7200 beforeH6440 me emptyH7387:)
