¶ Thou shalt not¹ raise² a false report: put not thine hand with the wicked to be an unrighteous witness.

Thou shalt not follow³ a multitude to do evil; neither shalt thou speak⁴ in a cause to decline after many to wrest judgment:

⁵Neither shalt thou countenance a poor man in his cause.

⁶If thou meet thine enemy's ox or his ass going astray, thou shalt surely bring it back to him again.

If thou see⁷ the ass of him that hateth thee lying under his burden, and wouldest forbear to help him,⁸ thou shalt surely help with him.

⁹Thou shalt not wrest the judgment of thy poor in his cause.

Keep thee far from¹⁰ a false matter; and the innocent¹¹ and righteous slay thou not: for I will not¹² justify the wicked.

And thou shalt take¹³ no gift: for the gift blindeth the wise¹⁴, and perverteth the words of the righteous.

Also thou shalt not¹⁵ oppress a stranger: for ye know¹⁶ the heart¹⁷ of a stranger, seeing ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.

¶ And six years¹⁸ thou shalt sow thy land, and shalt gather in the fruits thereof:

But the seventh¹⁹ 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 oliveyard²⁰.

Six days²¹ thou shalt do thy work, and on the seventh day thou shalt rest: that thine ox and thine ass may rest, and the son²² of thy handmaid, and the stranger, may be refreshed.

And in all things that I have said unto you be circumspect²³: and make no mention²⁴ of the name of other gods, neither let it be heard out of thy mouth.

²⁵Three times thou shalt keep a feast unto me in the year.

Thou shalt keep the feast²⁶ 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 none²⁷ shall appear before me empty:)

And the feast of harvest²⁸, the firstfruits of thy labours, which thou hast sown in the field: and the feast of ingathering²⁹, which is in the end of the year, when thou hast gathered in thy labours out of the field.

³⁰Three times in the year all thy males shall appear before the Lord GOD.

Thou shalt not offer the blood³¹ of my sacrifice³² with leavened bread; neither shall the fat of my sacrifice remain until the morning.

The first of the³³ firstfruits of thy land thou shalt bring into the house of the LORD thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid³⁴ in his mother's milk.

¶ Behold, I send an Angel³⁵ before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared³⁶.

Beware of him,³⁷ and obey his voice, provoke him not;³⁸ for he will not³⁹ pardon your transgressions: for my name⁴⁰ is in him.

But if thou shalt indeed obey his voice, and do all that I speak; then I will be an enemy⁴¹ unto thine enemies, and an adversary unto thine adversaries⁴².

For mine Angel⁴³ shall go before thee, and bring thee in⁴⁴ unto the Amorites, and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, the Hivites⁴⁵, and the Jebusites: and I will cut them off.

Thou shalt not⁴⁶ bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor do after⁴⁷ their works: but thou shalt utterly overthrow⁴⁸ them, and quite break down their images.

And ye⁴⁹ shall serve the LORD your God, and he shall⁵⁰ bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take⁵¹ sickness away from the midst of thee.

There shall nothing⁵² cast their young, nor be barren, in thy land: the number⁵³ of thy days I will fulfil.

I will send my fear⁵⁴ before thee, and will destroy⁵⁵ all the people to whom thou shalt come, and I will make all thine enemies turn their backs⁵⁶ unto thee.

And I will send hornets⁵⁷ before thee, which shall drive out the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite, from before thee.

I will not drive them out from before thee in one year⁵⁸; lest the land become desolate, and the beast of the field multiply against thee.

¶ By little and little⁵⁹ I will drive them out⁶⁰ from before thee, until thou be increased, and inherit the land.

And I will set⁶¹ thy bounds from the Red sea even unto the sea of the Philistines, and from the desert unto the river: for I will deliver the⁶² inhabitants of the land into your hand; and thou shalt drive them out before thee.

Thou shalt make⁶³ no covenant with them, nor with⁶⁴ their gods.

They shall not dwell in thy land, lest they make⁶⁵ thee sin against me: for if thou serve their gods, it will surely⁶⁶ be a snare unto thee.
