23 Þú skalt ekki fara með lygikvittu. Þú skalt ekki leggja lið þeim, er með rangt mál fer, til að gjörast ljúgvottur.
2 Þú skalt ekki fylgja fjöldanum til illra verka. Ef þú átt svör að veita í sök nokkurri, þá skalt þú ekki á eitt leggjast með margnum til þess að halla réttu máli.
3 Ekki skalt þú vera hliðdrægur manni í máli hans, þótt fátækur sé.
4 Ef þú finnur uxa óvinar þíns eða asna hans, sem villst hefir, þá fær þú honum hann aftur.
5 Sjáir þú asna fjandmanns þíns liggja uppgefinn undir byrði sinni, þá skalt þú hverfa frá því að láta hann einan. Vissulega skalt þú hjálpa honum til að spretta af asnanum.
6 Þú skalt ekki halla rétti fátæks manns, sem hjá þér er, í máli hans.
7 Forðastu lygimál og ver eigi valdur að dauða saklauss manns og réttláts, því að eigi mun ég réttlæta þann, sem með rangt mál fer.
8 Eigi skalt þú mútu þiggja, því að mútan gjörir skyggna menn blinda og umhverfir máli hinna réttlátu.
9 Eigi skalt þú veita útlendum manni ágang. Þér vitið sjálfir, hvernig útlendum manni er innanbrjósts, því að þér voruð útlendingar í Egyptalandi.
10 Sex ár skalt þú sá jörð þína og safna gróða hennar,
11 en sjöunda árið skalt þú láta hana liggja ónotaða og hvílast, svo að hinir fátæku meðal fólks þíns megi eta. Það sem þeir leifa, mega villidýrin eta. Eins skalt þú fara með víngarð þinn og olíutré þín.
12 Sex daga skalt þú verk þitt vinna, en sjöunda daginn skalt þú halda heilagt, svo að uxi þinn og asni geti hvílt sig, og sonur ambáttar þinnar og útlendingurinn megi endurnærast.
13 Allt sem ég hefi sagt yður, skuluð þér halda. Nafn annarra guða megið þér ekki nefna. Eigi skal það heyrast af þínum munni.
14 Þrisvar á ári skalt þú mér hátíð halda.
15 Þú skalt halda hátíð hinna ósýrðu brauða. Sjö daga skalt þú eta ósýrt brauð, eins og ég hefi boðið þér, á ákveðnum tíma í abíb-mánuði, því að í þeim mánuði fórst þú út af Egyptalandi. Enginn skal koma tómhentur fyrir mitt auglit.
16 Þú skalt halda hátíð frumskerunnar, frumgróðans af vinnu þinni, af því sem þú sáðir í akurinn. Þú skalt halda uppskeruhátíðina við árslokin, er þú alhirðir afla þinn af akrinum.
17 Þrem sinnum á ári skal allt þitt karlkyn birtast frammi fyrir herra Drottni.
18 Eigi skalt þú fram bera blóð fórnar minnar með sýrðu brauði, og feitin af hátíðafórn minni skal ekki liggja til morguns.
19 Hið fyrsta, frumgróða jarðar þinnar, skalt þú færa til húss Drottins Guðs þíns. Þú skalt ekki sjóða kið í mjólk móður sinnar.
20 Sjá, ég sendi engil á undan þér til að varðveita þig á ferðinni og leiða þig til þess staðar, sem ég hefi fyrirbúið.
21 Haf gát á þér fyrir honum og hlýð hans röddu, móðga þú hann ekki, því að hann mun ekki fyrirgefa misgjörðir yðar, því að mitt nafn er í honum.
22 En ef þú hlýðir röddu hans rækilega og gjörir allt, sem ég segi, þá skal ég vera óvinur óvina þinna og mótstöðu veita þínum mótstöðumönnum.
23 Engill minn skal ganga á undan þér og leiða þig til Amoríta, Hetíta, Peresíta, Kanaaníta, Hevíta og Jebúsíta, og ég skal afmá þá.
24 Þú skalt ekki tilbiðja þeirra guði og ekki dýrka þá og ekki fara að háttum þeirra, heldur skalt þú gjöreyða þeim og með öllu sundur brjóta merkissteina þeirra.
25 Þér skuluð dýrka Drottin, Guð yðar, og hann mun blessa brauð þitt og vatn, og ég skal bægja sóttum burt frá þér.
26 Engin vanbyrja og engin óbyrja skal finnast í landi þínu. Ég skal fylla tal daga þinna.
27 Ógn mína mun ég senda á undan þér og gjöra felmtsfullar allar þær þjóðir, sem þú kemur til, og alla óvini þína mun ég flýja láta fyrir þér.
28 Ég skal senda skelfingu á undan þér, og hún skal í burt stökkva Hevítum, Kanaanítum og Hetítum úr augsýn þinni.
29 Þó vil ég ekki stökkva þeim burt úr augsýn þinni á einu ári, svo að landið fari ekki í auðn og villidýrunum fjölgi ekki þér til meins.
30 Smám saman vil ég stökkva þeim burt úr augsýn þinni, uns þér fjölgar og þú eignast landið.
31 Og ég vil setja landamerki þín frá Rauðahafinu til Filistahafs, og frá eyðimörkinni til Fljótsins. Ég mun gefa íbúa landsins á vald yðar, og þú skalt stökkva þeim burt undan þér.
32 Þú skalt eigi gjöra sáttmála við þá eða þeirra guði.
33 Þeir skulu ekki búa í landi þínu, svo að þeir komi þér ekki til þess að syndga gegn mér, því ef þú dýrkar þeirra guði, mun það verða þér að tálsnöru."

Laws of Justice and Mercy
23 “Do not spread false reports.(A) Do not help a guilty person by being a malicious witness.(B)
2 “Do not follow the crowd in doing wrong. When you give testimony in a lawsuit, do not pervert justice(C) by siding with the crowd,(D) 3 and do not show favoritism(E) to a poor person in a lawsuit.
4 “If you come across your enemy’s(F) ox or donkey wandering off, be sure to return it.(G) 5 If you see the donkey(H) of someone who hates you fallen down under its load, do not leave it there; be sure you help them with it.
6 “Do not deny justice(I) to your poor people in their lawsuits. 7 Have nothing to do with a false charge(J) and do not put an innocent(K) or honest person to death,(L) for I will not acquit the guilty.(M)
8 “Do not accept a bribe,(N) for a bribe blinds those who see and twists the words of the innocent.
9 “Do not oppress a foreigner;(O) you yourselves know how it feels to be foreigners, because you were foreigners in Egypt.
Sabbath Laws
10 “For six years you are to sow your fields and harvest the crops, 11 but during the seventh year let the land lie unplowed and unused.(P) Then the poor among your people may get food from it, and the wild animals may eat what is left. Do the same with your vineyard and your olive grove.
12 “Six days do your work,(Q) but on the seventh day do not work, so that your ox and your donkey may rest, and so that the slave born in your household and the foreigner living among you may be refreshed.(R)
13 “Be careful(S) to do everything I have said to you. Do not invoke the names of other gods;(T) do not let them be heard on your lips.(U)
The Three Annual Festivals
14 “Three times(V) a year you are to celebrate a festival to me.
15 “Celebrate the Festival of Unleavened Bread;(W) for seven days eat bread made without yeast, as I commanded you. Do this at the appointed time in the month of Aviv,(X) for in that month you came out of Egypt.
“No one is to appear before me empty-handed.(Y)
16 “Celebrate the Festival of Harvest(Z) with the firstfruits(AA) of the crops you sow in your field.
“Celebrate the Festival of Ingathering(AB) at the end of the year, when you gather in your crops from the field.(AC)
17 “Three times(AD) a year all the men are to appear before the Sovereign Lord.
18 “Do not offer the blood of a sacrifice to me along with anything containing yeast.(AE)
“The fat of my festival offerings must not be kept until morning.(AF)
19 “Bring the best of the firstfruits(AG) of your soil to the house of the Lord your God.
“Do not cook a young goat in its mother’s milk.(AH)
God’s Angel to Prepare the Way
20 “See, I am sending an angel(AI) ahead of you to guard you along the way and to bring you to the place I have prepared.(AJ) 21 Pay attention to him and listen(AK) to what he says. Do not rebel against him; he will not forgive(AL) your rebellion,(AM) since my Name(AN) is in him. 22 If you listen carefully to what he says and do(AO) all that I say, I will be an enemy(AP) to your enemies and will oppose those who oppose you. 23 My angel will go ahead of you and bring you into the land of the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Canaanites, Hivites and Jebusites,(AQ) and I will wipe them out. 24 Do not bow down before their gods or worship(AR) them or follow their practices.(AS) You must demolish(AT) them and break their sacred stones(AU) to pieces. 25 Worship the Lord your God,(AV) and his blessing(AW) will be on your food and water. I will take away sickness(AX) from among you, 26 and none will miscarry or be barren(AY) in your land. I will give you a full life span.(AZ)
27 “I will send my terror(BA) ahead of you and throw into confusion(BB) every nation you encounter. I will make all your enemies turn their backs and run.(BC) 28 I will send the hornet(BD) ahead of you to drive the Hivites, Canaanites and Hittites(BE) out of your way. 29 But I will not drive them out in a single year, because the land would become desolate and the wild animals(BF) too numerous for you. 30 Little by little I will drive them out before you, until you have increased enough to take possession(BG) of the land.
31 “I will establish your borders from the Red Sea[a] to the Mediterranean Sea,[b] and from the desert to the Euphrates River.(BH) I will give into your hands the people who live in the land, and you will drive them out(BI) before you. 32 Do not make a covenant(BJ) with them or with their gods. 33 Do not let them live in your land or they will cause you to sin against me, because the worship of their gods will certainly be a snare(BK) to you.”

Exodus 23
King James Version
Exodus 23
King James Version
23 Thou shalt not raise a false report: put not thine hand with the wicked to be an unrighteous witness.
2 Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil; neither shalt thou speak in a cause to decline after many to wrest judgment:
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.
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:)
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.
17 Three times in the year all thy males shall appear before the Lord God.
18 Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leavened bread; neither shall the fat of my sacrifice remain until the morning.
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.
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.
21 Beware of him, and obey his voice, provoke him not; for he will not pardon your transgressions: for my name is in him.
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.
23 For mine Angel shall go before thee, and bring thee in unto the Amorites, and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites: and I will cut them off.
24 Thou shalt not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor do after their works: but thou shalt utterly overthrow them, and quite break down their images.
25 And ye shall serve the Lord your God, and he shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee.
26 There shall nothing cast their young, nor be barren, in thy land: the number of thy days I will fulfil.
27 I will send my fear before thee, and will destroy all the people to whom thou shalt come, and I will make all thine enemies turn their backs unto thee.
28 And I will send hornets before thee, which shall drive out the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite, from before thee.
29 I will not drive them out from before thee in one year; lest the land become desolate, and the beast of the field multiply against thee.
30 By little and little I will drive them out from before thee, until thou be increased, and inherit the land.
31 And I will set thy bounds from the Red sea even unto the sea of the Philistines, and from the desert unto the river: for I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand; and thou shalt drive them out before thee.
32 Thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor with their gods.
33 They shall not dwell in thy land, lest they make thee sin against me: for if thou serve their gods, it will surely be a snare unto thee.
