2

"You shall not followh1961h310  1the massesh7227a in doing evilh7463a, norh3808 shall you  2testifyh6030a in a disputeh7379 so as to turnh5186 asideh5186 afterh310  1a multitudeh7227a in order to  aperverth5186 justice;

3

 anorh3808 shall you  1be partialh1921 to a poorh1800b manh1800b in his disputeh7379.

4

aIfh3588 you meeth6293 your enemy'sh340 oxh7794 orh176 his donkeyh2543 wanderingh8582 awayh8582, you shall surelyh7725 returnh7725 it to him.

5

aIfh3588 you seeh7200 the donkeyh2543 of one who hatesh8130 you lyingh7257 helpless underh8478 its loadh4853a, you shall refrainh2308 from leavingh5800a it to him, you shall surelyh5800a releaseh5800a it with him.

6

aYou shall not perverth5186 the justiceh4941 due to your needyh34 brother in his disputeh7379.

7

aKeeph7368 farh7368 from a falseh8267 chargeh1697, and  bdo not killh2026 the innocenth5355a or the righteoush6662, for  cI will not acquith6663 the guiltyh7563.

9

aYou shall not oppressh3905 a  1strangerh1616, since you yourselvesh864b knowh3045 the  2feelingsh5315 of a  1strangerh1616, for you also were  1strangersh1616 in the landh776 of Egypth4714.

10

aYou shall sowh2232 your landh776 for sixh8337a yearsh8141 and gatherh622 in its yieldh8393,

11

but on the seventhh7637 yearh7637 you shall leth8058 it  1resth8058 and lieh5203 fallowh5203, so that the needyh34 of your peopleh5971a may eath398; and whatever they leaveh3499a the beasth2421b of the fieldh7704 may eath398. You are to doh6213a the sameh3651 with your vineyardh3754 and your oliveh2132 groveh2132.

12

aSixh8337a daysh3117 you are to doh6213a your workh4639, but on the seventhh7637 dayh3117 you shall ceaseh7673a from labor soh4616 that your oxh7794 and your donkeyh2543 may resth5117, and the sonh1121 of your femaleh519 slaveh519, as well as  1your strangerh1616, may refreshh5314 themselves.

13

"Now  aconcerning everythingh3605 whichh834 I have saidh559 to you, be on your guardh8104; and  bdo not mentionh2142 the nameh8034 of otherh312 godsh430, norh3808 let them be heardh8085  1from your mouthh6310.

"Beholdh2009, I am going to sendh7971  aan angelh4397 beforeh6440 you to guardh8104 you along the wayh1870 and  bto bringh935 you into the placeh4725 whichh834 I have preparedh3559.

21

"Be on your guardh8104 beforeh4480h6440 him and obeyh8085 his voiceh6963;  ado not be rebellioush4784 toward him, for he will not pardonh5375 your transgressionh6588, sinceh3588  bMy nameh8034 is in him.

22

"But ifh518 you trulyh8085 obeyh8085 his voiceh6963 and doh6213a allh3605 that I sayh1696, then  aI will be an enemyh340 to your enemiesh340 and an adversaryh6696b to your adversariesh6887c.

23

aFor My angelh4397 will goh1980 beforeh6440 you and bringh935 you in to the land of the Amoritesh567, the Hittitesh2850, the Perizzitesh6522, the Canaanitesh3669a, the Hivitesh2340 and the Jebusitesh2983; and I will completelyh3582 destroyh3582 them.

24

aYou shall not worshiph7812 their godsh430, norh3808 serveh5647 them, norh3808 doh6213a according to their deedsh4639;  bbut you shall utterlyh2040 overthrowh2040 them and breakh7665 their  csacred pillarsh4676 in piecesh7665.

25

aBut you shall serveh5647 the LORDh3068 your Godh430,  1and He will blessh1288 your breadh3899 and your waterh4325; and  bI will removeh5493 sicknessh4245a from your midsth7130.

26

"There shall be noh3808 one miscarryingh7921 or  abarrenh6135 in your landh776;  bI will fulfillh4390 the numberh4557 of your daysh3117.

27

"I will  asendh7971 My terrorh367 aheadh6440 of you, and  bthrowh2000 into confusionh2000 allh3605 the peopleh5971a among whomh834 you comeh935, and I will  cmakeh5414 allh3605 your enemiesh340 turnh5414 their backsh6203 to you.

28

"I will sendh7971  ahornetsh6880 aheadh6440 of you so that they will  bdriveh1644 out the Hivitesh2340, the Canaanitesh3669a, and the Hittitesh2850 beforeh4480h6440 you.

29

aI will not driveh1644 them out beforeh4480 you in a singleh259 yearh8141, that the landh776 may not becomeh1961 desolateh8077 and the beastsh2421b of the fieldh7704 becomeh7231 tooh5921 numeroush7231 for you.

30

31

aI will fixh7896 your boundaryh1366 from the  1Redh5488h3220 Seah3220 to the seah3220 of the Philistinesh6430, and from the wildernessh4057b to the Riverh5104 Euphrates;  bfor I will deliverh5414 the inhabitantsh3427 of the landh776 into your handh3027, and you will  cdriveh1644 them out beforeh4480 you.

32

aYou shall  1makeh3772 noh3808 covenanth1285 with them  bor with their godsh430.

33

aThey shall not liveh3427 in your landh776, becauseh6435 they will make you sinh2398 against Me; for if you serveh5647 their godsh430,  bit will surelyh3588 be a snareh4170 to you."
