Exodus 23

 1(A) "You shall not spread a false report. You shall not join hands with a wicked man to be a(B) malicious witness. 2You shall not fall in with the many to do evil, nor shall you bear witness in a lawsuit, siding with the many, so as to pervert justice, 3(C) nor shall you be partial to a poor man in his lawsuit.

 4(D) "If you meet your enemy’s ox or his donkey going astray, you shall bring it back to him. 5If you see the donkey of one who hates you lying down under its burden, you shall refrain from leaving him with it; you shall rescue it with him.

 6(E) "You shall not pervert the justice due to your poor in his lawsuit. 7(F) Keep far from a false charge, and(G) do not kill the innocent and righteous, for(H) I will not acquit the wicked. 8(I) And you shall take no bribe, for a bribe blinds the clear-sighted and subverts the cause of those who are in the right.

 9(J) "You shall not oppress a sojourner. You know the heart of a sojourner, for you were sojourners in the land of Egypt.

Laws About the Sabbath and Festivals
 10(K) "For six years you shall sow your land and gather in its yield, 11but the seventh year you shall let it rest and lie fallow, that the poor of your people may eat; and what they leave the beasts of the field may eat. You shall do likewise with your vineyard, and with your olive orchard.

 12(L) "Six days you shall do your work, but on the seventh day you shall rest; that your ox and your donkey may have rest, and the son of your servant woman, and the alien, may be refreshed.

 13(M) "Pay attention to all that I have said to you, and make no mention of the names of other gods, nor let it be heard on your lips.

 14(N) "Three times in the year you shall keep a feast to me. 15(O) You shall keep the Feast of Unleavened Bread. As I commanded you, you shall eat unleavened bread for seven days at the appointed time in the month of(P) Abib, for in it you came out of Egypt.(Q) None shall appear before me empty-handed. 16You shall keep(R) the Feast of Harvest, of the firstfruits of your labor, of what you sow in the field. You shall keep the(S) Feast of Ingathering at the end of the year, when you gather in from the field the fruit of your labor. 17(T) Three times in the year shall all your males appear before the Lord GOD.

 18(U) "You shall not offer the blood of my sacrifice with anything leavened, or let the fat of my feast remain until the morning.

 19"The best of the(V) firstfruits of your ground you shall bring into the house of the LORD your God.

   

   (W) "You shall not boil a young goat in its mother’s milk.

Conquest of Canaan Promised
 20(X) "Behold, I send an angel before you to guard you on the way and to bring you to the place that I have prepared. 21Pay careful attention to him and obey his voice;(Y) do not rebel against him,(Z) for he will not pardon your transgression, for my name is in him.

 22"But if you carefully obey his voice and do all that I say, then(AA) I will be an enemy to your enemies and an adversary to your adversaries.

 23(AB) "When my angel goes before you and brings you(AC) to the Amorites and the Hittites and the Perizzites and the Canaanites, the Hivites and the Jebusites, and I blot them out, 24you shall(AD) not bow down to their gods nor serve them,(AE) nor do as they do, but(AF) you shall utterly overthrow them and break their(AG) pillars in pieces. 25You(AH) shall serve the LORD your God, and(AI) he[a] will bless your bread and your water, and(AJ) I will take sickness away from among you. 26(AK) None shall miscarry or be barren in your land; I will fulfill the(AL) number of your days. 27I will send(AM) my terror before you and will throw into(AN) confusion all the people against whom you shall come, and I will make all your enemies turn their backs to you. 28And(AO) I will send hornets before you, which shall drive out the Hivites, the Canaanites, and the Hittites from before you. 29(AP) I will not drive them out from before you in one year, lest the land become desolate and the wild beasts multiply against you. 30Little by little I will drive them out from before you, until you have increased and possess the land. 31(AQ) And I will set your border from the Red Sea to the Sea of the Philistines, and from the wilderness to the Euphrates, for(AR) I will give the inhabitants of the land into your hand, and you shall drive them out before you. 32(AS) You shall make no covenant with them and their gods. 33They shall not dwell in your land, lest they make you sin against me; for if you serve their gods,(AT) it will surely be a snare to you."

Exodus 24

The Covenant Confirmed
 1Then he said to Moses, "Come up to the LORD, you and Aaron,(AU) Nadab, and Abihu, and(AV) seventy of the elders of Israel, and worship from afar. 2Moses(AW) alone shall come near to the LORD, but the others shall not come near, and the people shall not come up with him."

 3Moses came and told the people all the words of the LORD and(AX) all the rules.[b] And all the people answered with one voice and said,(AY) "All the words that the LORD has spoken we will do." 4And(AZ) Moses wrote down all the words of the LORD. He rose early in the morning and built an altar at the foot of the mountain, and twelve(BA) pillars, according to the twelve tribes of Israel. 5And he sent young men of the people of Israel, who offered burnt offerings and sacrificed peace offerings of oxen to the LORD. 6And(BB) Moses took half of the blood and put it in basins, and half of the blood he threw against the altar. 7Then he took the Book of the Covenant and read it in the hearing of the people. And they said,(BC) "All that the LORD has spoken we will do, and we will be obedient." 8(BD) And Moses took the blood and threw it on the people and said, "Behold the blood of the covenant that the LORD has made with you in accordance with all these words."

 9Then Moses and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and(BE) seventy of the elders of Israel(BF) went up, 10and they(BG) saw the God of Israel. There was under his feet as it were a pavement of(BH) sapphire stone, like the very heaven for clearness. 11And he did not lay his hand on the chief men of the people of Israel; they beheld God, and(BI) ate and drank.

 12The LORD said to Moses,(BJ) "Come up to me on the mountain and wait there, that I may give you the(BK) tablets of stone, with the law and the commandment, which I have written for their instruction." 13So Moses rose with his assistant(BL) Joshua, and Moses went up(BM) into the mountain of God. 14And he said to the elders, "Wait here for us until we return to you. And behold, Aaron and(BN) Hur are with you. Whoever has a dispute, let him go to them."

 15Then Moses went up on the mountain, and(BO) the cloud covered the mountain. 16(BP) The glory of the LORD dwelt on Mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it six days. And on the seventh day he called to Moses out of the midst of the cloud. 17Now the appearance of the glory of the LORD was like a(BQ) devouring fire on the top of the mountain in the sight of the people of Israel. 18Moses entered the cloud and went up on the mountain. And Moses(BR) was on the mountain forty days and forty nights.

Matthew 20

Laborers in the Vineyard
 1"For the kingdom of heaven is like a master of a house who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard. 2After agreeing with the laborers for a denarius[a] a day, he sent them into his vineyard. 3And going out about the third hour he saw others standing idle in the marketplace, 4and to them he said, 'You go into the vineyard too, and whatever is right I will give you.' 5So they went. Going out again about the sixth hour and the ninth hour, he did the same. 6And(A) about the eleventh hour he went out and found others standing. And he said to them, 'Why do you stand here idle all day?' 7They said to him, 'Because no one has hired us.' He said to them, 'You go into the vineyard too.' 8And(B) when evening came, the owner of the vineyard said to his(C) foreman, 'Call the laborers and pay them their wages, beginning with the last, up to the first.' 9And when those hired about the eleventh hour came, each of them received a denarius. 10Now when those hired first came, they thought they would receive more, but each of them also received a denarius. 11And on receiving it they grumbled at the master of the house, 12saying, 'These last worked only one hour, and you have made them equal to us who have borne the burden of the day and(D) the scorching heat.' 13But he replied to one of them,(E) 'Friend, I am doing you no wrong. Did you not agree with me for a denarius? 14Take(F) what belongs to you and go. I choose to give to this last worker as I give to you. 15(G) Am I not allowed to do what I choose with what belongs to me? Or(H) do you begrudge my generosity?'[b] 16So(I) the last will be first, and the first last."
