" aYou shall not bear a false
report
; do not join
your hand
with a wicked
man
to be a bmalicious
witness
.
"You shall not follow 1the masses
in doing evil
, nor
shall you 2testify
in a dispute
so as to turn
aside
after
1a multitude
in order to apervert
justice;
anor shall you 1be partial
to a poor
man
in his dispute
.
" aIf you meet
your enemy's
ox
or
his donkey
wandering
away
, you shall surely
return
it to him.
" aIf you see
the donkey
of one who hates
you lying
helpless under
its load
, you shall refrain
from leaving
it to him, you shall surely
release
it with him.
" aYou shall not pervert the justice
due to your needy
brother in his dispute
.
" aKeep far
from a false
charge
, and bdo not kill
the innocent
or the righteous
, for cI will not acquit
the guilty
.
" aYou shall not take a bribe
, for a bribe
blinds
the clear-sighted
and 1subverts
the cause
of the just
.
" aYou shall not oppress a 1stranger
, since you yourselves
know
the 2feelings
of a 1stranger
, for you also were 1strangers
in the land
of Egypt
.
" aYou shall sow your land
for six
years
and gather
in its yield
,
but on the seventh year
you shall let
it 1rest
and lie
fallow
, so that the needy
of your people
may eat
; and whatever they leave
the beast
of the field
may eat
. You are to do
the same
with your vineyard
and your olive
grove
.
" aSix days
you are to do
your work
, but on the seventh
day
you shall cease
from labor so
that your ox
and your donkey
may rest
, and the son
of your female
slave
, as well as 1your stranger
, may refresh
themselves.

days
you are to eat
unleavened
bread

you, at the appointed
time
in the bmonth
Abib
, for in it you came
out of Egypt
. And 1 cnone
shall appear
before
Me empty-handed

"Also you shall observe athe Feast of the Harvest
of the first
fruits

from what
you sow

of the Ingathering
at the end
of the year
bwhen you gather
in the fruit of your labors

aan angel
before
you to guard
you along the way

you into the place
which
I have prepared

"Be on your guard before
him and obey
his voice
; ado not be rebellious
toward him, for he will not pardon
your transgression
, since
bMy name
is in him.
"But if you truly
obey
his voice
and do
all
that I say
, then aI will be an enemy
to your enemies
and an adversary
to your adversaries
.
" aFor My angel will go
before
you and bring
you in to the land of the Amorites
, the Hittites
, the Perizzites
, the Canaanites
, the Hivites
and the Jebusites
; and I will completely
destroy
them.
" aYou shall not worship their gods
, nor
serve
them, nor
do
according to their deeds
; bbut you shall utterly
overthrow
them and break
their csacred pillars
in pieces
.
" aBut you shall serve the LORD
your God
, 1and He will bless
your bread
and your water
; and bI will remove
sickness
from your midst

the number
of your days

ahead
of you, and bthrow
into confusion
all
the people
among whom
you come

all
your enemies
turn
their backs
to you.
"I will send ahornets
ahead
of you so that they will bdrive
out the Hivites
, the Canaanites
, and the Hittites
before
you.
" aI will not drive them out before
you in a single
year
, that the land
may not become
desolate
and the beasts
of the field
become
too
numerous
for you.
"I will drive them out before
you alittle
by little
, until
you become
fruitful
and take
possession
of the land
.
" aI will fix your boundary
from the 1Red
Sea
to the sea
of the Philistines
, and from the wilderness
to the River
Euphrates; bfor I will deliver
the inhabitants
of the land
into your hand
, and you will cdrive
them out before
you.

they will make you sin
against Me; for if you serve
