Book 02 : TORAH - SHEMOT (EXODUS) - Chapter 023
23:001
Thou shalt not utter a false report; put not thy hand with
the wicked to be an unrighteous witness
23:002
Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil; neither shalt
thou bear witness in a cause to turn aside after a multitude to pervert justice
23:003
neither shalt thou favour a poor man in his cause
23:004
If thou meet thine enemy's ox or his ass going astray, thou
shalt surely bring it back to him again
23:005
If thou see the ass of him that hateth thee lying under its
burden, thou shalt forbear to pass by him; thou shalt surely release it with
him
23:006
Thou shalt not wrest the judgment of thy poor in his cause
23:007
Keep thee far from a false matter; and the innocent and
righteous slay thou not; for I will not justify the wicked
23:008
And thou shalt take no gift; for a gift blindeth them that
have sight, and perverteth the words of the righteous
23:009
And a stranger shalt thou not oppress; for ye know the
heart of a stranger, seeing ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.
And six years thou shalt sow thy land, and gather in the increase thereof
23:011
but the seventh year thou shalt let it rest and lie
fallow, that the poor of thy people may eat; and what they leave the beast of
the field shall eat. In like manner thou shalt deal with thy vineyard, and with
thy oliveyard
23:012
Six days thou shalt do thy work, but on the seventh day
thou shalt rest; that thine ox and thine ass may have rest, and the son of thy
handmaid, and the stranger, may be refreshed
23:013
And in all things that I have said unto you take ye heed;
and make no mention of the name of other gods, neither let it be heard out of
thy mouth
23:014
Three times thou shalt keep a feast unto Me in the year
23:015
The feast of unleavened bread shalt thou keep; seven days
thou shalt eat unleavened bread, as I commanded thee, at the time appointed in
the month Abib--for in it thou camest out from Egypt; and none shall appear
before Me empty
23:016
and the feast of harvest, the first-fruits of thy labours,
which thou sowest in the field; and the feast of ingathering, at the end of the
year, when thou gatherest in thy labours out of the field
23:017
Three times in the year all thy males shall appear before
the L-rd GOD
23:018
Thou shalt not offer the blood of My sacrifice with
leavened bread; neither shall the fat of My feast remain all night until the
morning
23:019
The choicest first-fruits of thy land thou shalt bring
into the house of HaShem thy G-d. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in its mother's
milk.
the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared
23:021
Take heed of him, and hearken unto his voice; be not
rebellious against him; for he will not pardon your transgression; for My name
is in him
23:022
But if thou shalt indeed hearken unto his voice, and do
all that I speak; then I will be an enemy unto thine enemies, and an adversary
unto thine adversaries
23:023
For Mine angel shall go before thee, and bring thee in
unto the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Canaanite, the
Hivite, and the Jebusite; and I will cut them off
23:024
Thou shalt not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor
do after their doings; but thou shalt utterly overthrow them, and break in
pieces their pillars
23:025
And ye shall serve HaShem your G-d, and He will bless thy
bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee
23:026
None shall miscarry, nor be barren, in thy land; the
number of thy days I will fulfil
23:027
I will send My terror before thee, and will discomfit all
the people to whom thou shalt come, and I will make all thine enemies turn their
backs unto thee
23:028
And I will send the hornet before thee, which shall drive
out the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite, from before thee
23:029
I will not drive them out from before thee in one year,
lest the land become desolate, and the beasts of the field multiply against
thee
23:030
By little and little I will drive them out from before
thee, until thou be increased, and inherit the land
23:031
And I will set thy border from the Red Sea even unto the
sea of the Philistines, and from the wilderness unto the River; for I will
deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand; and thou shalt drive them
out before thee
23:032
Thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor with their
gods
23:033
They shall not dwell in thy land--lest they make thee sin
against Me, for thou wilt serve their gods--for they will be a snare unto thee
