Exodus 23:3-14
-
3 Neither shalt thou countenance a poor man in his cause.
-
4 If thou meet thine enemy's ox or his ass going astray, thou shalt surely bring it back to him again.
-
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.
-
6 Thou shalt not wrest the judgment of thy poor in his cause.
-
7 Keep thee far from a false matter; and the innocent and righteous slay thou not: for I will not justify the wicked.
-
8 And thou shalt take no gift: for the gift blindeth the wise, and perverteth the words of the righteous.
-
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.
-
10 And six years thou shalt sow thy land, and shalt gather in the fruits thereof:
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
14 Three times thou shalt keep a feast unto me in the year.
