EXODUS
Ex:22:22: Ye shall not afflict any widow, or fatherless child.
Ex:22:23: If thou afflict them in any wise, and they cry at all unto me, I will surely hear their cry.
Ex:22:24: And my wrath shall wax hot, and I will kill you with the sword; and your wives shall be widows, and your children fatherless.
Ex:22:25: If thou lend m.ney to any of my people that is poor by thee, thou shalt not be to him as an usurer, neither shalt thou lay upon him usury.
Ex:22:26: If thou at all take thy neighbour’s raiment to pledge, thou shalt deliver it unto him by that the sun goeth down:
Ex:22:27: For that is his covering only, it is his raiment for his skin: wherein shall he sleep? and it shall come to pass, when he crieth unto me, that I will hear; for I am gracious.
Ex:22:28: Thou shalt not revile the gods, nor curse the ruler of thy people.
Ex:22:29: Thou shalt not delay to offer the first of thy ripe fruits, and of thy liquors: the firstborn of thy sons shalt thou give unto me.
Ex:22:30: Likewise shalt thou do with thine oxen, and with thy sheep: seven days it shall be with his dam; on the eighth day thou shalt give it me.
Ex:22:31: And ye shall be holy men unto me: neither shall ye eat any flesh that is torn of beasts in the field; ye shall cast it to the dogs.
Chapter 23
Ex:23:1: Thou shalt not raise a false report: put not thine hand with the wicked to be an unrighteous witness.
Ex:23:2: Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil; neither shalt thou speak in a cause to decline after many to wrest judgment:
Ex:23:3: Neither shalt thou countenance a poor man in his cause.
Ex:23:4: If thou meet thine enemy’s ox or his ass going astray, thou shalt surely bring it back to him again.
Ex:23:5: If thou see the ass of him that hateth thee lying under his burden, and wouldest forbear to help him, thou shalt surely help with him.
Ex:23:6: Thou shalt not wrest the judgment of thy poor in his cause.
Ex:23:7: Keep thee far from a false matter; and the innocent and righteous slay thou not: for I will not justify the wicked.
Ex:23:8: And thou shalt take no gift: for the gift blindeth the wise, and perverteth the words of the righteous.
Ex:23:9: Also thou shalt not oppress a stranger: for ye know the heart of a stranger, seeing ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.
Ex:23:10: And six years thou shalt sow thy land, and shalt gather in the fruits thereof:
Ex:23:11: But the seventh year thou shalt let it rest and lie still; that the poor of thy people may eat: and what they leave the beasts of the field shall eat. In like manner thou shalt deal with thy vineyard, and with thy oliveyard.
Ex:23:12: Six days thou shalt do thy work, and on the seventh day thou shalt rest: that thine ox and thine ass may rest, and the son of thy handmaid, and the stranger, may be refreshed.
Ex:23:13: And in all things that I have said unto you be circumspect: and make no mention of the name of other gods, neither let it be heard out of thy mouth.
Ex:23:14: Three times thou shalt keep a feast unto me in the year.
Ex:23:15: Thou shalt keep the feast of unleavened bread: (thou shalt eat unleavened bread seven days, as I commanded thee, in the time appointed of the month Abib; for in it thou camest out from Egypt: and none shall appear before me empty:)
Ex:23:16: And the feast of harvest, the firstfruits of thy labours, which thou hast sown in the field: and the feast of ingathering, which is in the end of the year, when thou hast gathered in thy labours out of the field.
Ex:23:17: Three times in the year all thy males shall appear before the Lord GOD.
Ex:23:18: Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leavened bread; neither shall the fat of my sacrifice remain until the morning.
Ex:23:19: The first of the firstfruits of thy land thou shalt bring into the house of the LORD thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother’s milk.
Ex:23:20: Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared.
Ex:23:21: Beware of him, and obey his voice, provoke him not; for he will not pardon your transgressions: for my name is in him.
Ex:23:22: But if thou shalt indeed obey his voice, and do all that I speak; then I will be an enemy unto thine enemies, and an adversary unto thine adversaries.
Ex:23:23: For mine Angel shall go before thee, and bring thee in unto the Amorites, and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites: and I will cut them off.
