Exodus 22:28-23:5
New American Standard Bible
28 “You shall not [a](A)curse God, (B)nor curse a ruler of your people.
29 “(C)You shall not hold back the offering from your entire harvest and your [b]wine. (D)The firstborn of your sons you shall give to Me. 30 (E)You shall do the same with your oxen and with your sheep. It shall be with its mother for seven days; (F)on the eighth day you shall give it to Me.
31 “(G)You shall be holy people to Me, therefore (H)you shall not eat any flesh torn to pieces in the field; you shall throw it to the dogs.
Various Laws
23 “(I)You shall not give a false report; do not join your hand with a wicked person to be a (J)malicious witness. 2 You shall not follow [c]the crowd in doing evil, nor shall you [d]testify in a dispute so as to join together with [e]a crowd in order to (K)pervert justice; 3 (L)nor shall you [f]show favor to a poor person in his dispute.
4 “(M)If you encounter your enemy’s ox or his donkey wandering away, you must return it to him. 5 (N)If you see the donkey of one who hates you lying helpless under its load, you shall not leave it helpless for [g]its owner; you must arrange the load with him.
