Thou shalt not receive a vain report: thou shalt not agree with the unjust man to become an unjust witness. ²Thou shalt not associate with the multitude for evil; thou shalt not join thyself with a multitude to turn aside with the majority so as to shut out judgment. ³And thou shalt not spare a poor man in judgment. ⁴And if thou meet thine enemy's ox or his ass going astray, thou shalt turn them back and restore them to him. ⁵And if thou see thine enemy's ass fallen under its burden; thou shalt not pass by it, but shalt help to raise it with him.

⁶Thou shalt not wrest the sentence of the poor in his judgment. ⁷Thou shalt abstain from every unjust thing: thou shalt not slay the innocent and just, and thou shalt not justify the wicked for gifts. ⁸And thou shalt not receive gifts; for gifts blind the eyes of the seeing, and corrupt just words. ⁹And ye shall not afflict a stranger, for ye know the heart of a stranger for ye were yourselves strangers in the land of Egypt. ¹⁰Six years thou shalt sow thy land; and gather in the fruits of it. ¹¹But in the seventh year thou shalt let it rest, and leave it, and the poor of thy nation shall feed; and the wild beasts of the field shall eat that which remains: thus shalt thou do to thy vineyard and to thine oliveyard. ¹²Six days, shalt thou do thy works; and on the seventh day there shall be rest, that thine ox and thine ass may rest, and that the son of thy maid-servant and the stranger may be refreshed. ¹³Observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you; and ye shall make no mention of the name of other gods, neither shall they be heard out of your mouth.

¹⁴Keep ye a feast to me three times in the year. ¹⁵Take heed to keep the feast of unleavened bread: seven days ye shall eat unleavened bread, as I charged thee at the season of the month of new corn, for in it thou camest out of Egypt: thou shalt not appear before me empty. ¹⁶And thou shalt keep the feast of the harvest of first-fruits of thy labours whatsoever thou shalt have sown in thy field, and the feast of completion at the end of the year in the gathering in of thy ¹ fruits out of thy field. ¹⁷Three times in the year shall all thy males appear before the Lord thy God. ¹⁸For when I shall have cast out the nations from before thee, and shall have widened thy borders, thou shalt not offer the blood of my ² sacrifice with leaven, neither must the fat of my feast abide till the morning. ¹⁹Thou shalt bring the first-offerings of the first-fruits of thy land into the house of the Lord thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a lamb in its mother's milk. ²⁰And, behold, I send my angel before thy face, that he may keep thee in the way, that he may bring thee into the land which I have prepared for thee. ²¹Take heed to thyself and hearken to him, and disobey him not; for he will not give way to thee for my name is on him. ²²If ye will indeed hear my voice, and if thou wilt do all the things I shall charge thee with, and keep my

covenant, ye shall be to me a peculiar people above all nations for the whole earth is mine; and ye shall be to me a royal priesthood, and a holy nation: these words shall ye speak to the children of Israel, If ye shall indeed hear my voice and do all the things I shall tell thee, I will be an enemy to thine enemies and an adversary to thine adversaries. ²³For my angel shall go as thy leader and shall bring, thee to the Amorite, and Chettite, and. Pherezite, and Chananite, and Gergesite, and Evite and Jebusite, and I will destroy them. ²⁴Thou shalt not worship their gods, nor serve them: thou shalt not do according to their works but shalt utterly destroy them, and break to pieces their pillars. ²⁵And thou, shalt serve the Lord thy God, and I will bless, thy bread and thy wine and thy water and I will turn away sickness from you. ²⁶There shall not be on thy land one that is impotent or barren. I will surely fulfill the number of thy days. ²⁷And I will send terror before thee, and I will strike with amazement all the nations to which thou shalt come, and I will make all thine enemies to flee. ²⁸And I will send hornets before thee, and thou shalt cast out the Amorites and the Evites, and the Chananites and the Chettites from thee. ²⁹I will not cast them out in one year, lest the land become desolate, and the beasts of the field multiply against thee. ³⁰By little and little I will cast them out from before thee, until thou shalt be increased and inherit the earth. ³¹And I will set thy borders from the Red Sea, to the sea of the Phylistines, and from the wilderness to the great river Euphrates; and I will give into your hand those that dwell in the land, and will cast them out from thee. ³²Thou shall make no covenant with them and their gods. ³³And they shall not dwell in thy land lest they cause thee to sin against me; for if thou shouldest serve their gods, these will be an offence to thee.
