¹You shall not raise a false report. Do not join the wicked in being a false witness. ²You shall not be a follower of the powerful in wicked deeds, and you shall not testify in a dispute by leaning towards the powerful, so perverting the course of justice. ³Neither shall you favour the needy in his dispute. ⁴If you come across your enemy's ox or donkey which is straying, you shall return it to him without fail. ⁵If you see the donkey of someone who hates you lying under its burden, and you would decline to help it, you shall certainly help it. ⁶You shall not pervert the course of justice for the poor man among you in his dispute. ⁷Avoid false statements, and do not kill the innocent and righteous, for I will not pronounce the wicked righteous. ⁸And you shall not accept a bribe, for the bribe blinds the sighted and subverts the words of the righteous. ⁹And you shall not oppress the foreigner, for you know the feelings of the foreigner, for you were foreigners in the land of Egypt. ¹⁰Now for six years you shall sow your land and gather its produce, ¹¹but in the seventh year you shall leave it uncultivated and leave it fallow, so that the poor among your people may eat, and the wild animals can eat what they leave. So shall you also do with your vineyard and your olive grove. ¹²For six days you can do your business, but on the seventh day you shall rest, in order that your ox and your donkey should rest, and the son of your maidservant and the foreigner should be refreshed. ¹³And you shall take heed of everything that I have said to you, and you shall not make mention of the name of other gods – it shall not be heard from your mouth. ¹⁴Three times per year you shall hold a festival to me. ¹⁵You shall keep the Festival of Unleavened Bread, when for seven days you shall eat unleavened bread as I commanded you, at the set time in the month of Abib, for in it you came out of Egypt, and none shall see my face empty-handed; ¹⁶and the Festival of the Harvest, the firstfruits of your labours, that which you sow in the field; and the Festival of the Ingathering, at the end of the year, when you gather your produce from the field. ¹⁷Three times per year all your male population shall appear in the presence of the Lord, the Lord. ¹⁸You shall not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leavened bread, and the fat of my festival shall not remain until the morning. ¹⁹You shall bring the prime firstfruits of your land to the house of the Lord your God. You shall not cook a goat-kid in its mother's milk. ²⁰Behold, I am sending an angel out before you to keep you on the way and to bring you to the place which I have prepared. ²¹Be circumspect with him and obey him. Do not provoke him, for he will not pardon your transgression, for my name is central to him. ²²But if you diligently obey him and do everything that I say, then I will be an enemy to your enemies, and I will be an adversary to your adversaries. ²³For my angel will go in front of you and bring you to the Amorite and the Hittite and the Perizzite and the Canaanite and the Hivite and the Jebusite, and I will annihilate them. ²⁴You shall not worship their gods, and you shall not serve them, and you shall not do what they do, but you will utterly demolish them and thoroughly shatter their idolatrous statues. ²⁵Rather, you will serve the Lord your God, and he will bless your bread and your water, and I will remove any sickness from your community. ²⁶You will not miscarry or be infertile in your land; I will fill the number of your days. ²⁷I will send dread of myself ahead of you, and I will rout all of any nation which you come to, and I will make all your enemies turn their backs to you. ²⁸And I will send wasps in front of you, and they will drive out the Hivite, the Canaanite and the Hittite before you. ²⁹I will not drive them out before you in one year, so that the land does not become a desolation, and wild animals increase against you. ³⁰Little by little I will drive them out before you, until you increase in number and inherit the land. ³¹And I will set your border from the Red Sea to the Sea of the Philistines and from the desert up to the river, for I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand, and you will drive them out before you. ³²You shall not make a covenant with them or with their gods. ³³They will not dwell in your land, so that they do not make you sin against me, for if you were to serve their gods, it would be a snare to you.”
