Éxodo 23

Legislación judicial
23 No divulgues rumores falsos, ni apoyes al malvado dando un falso testimonio.
2 Tampoco te inclines a hacer el mal, aunque la mayoría lo haga; ni declares en un juicio del lado de la mayoría, si con ello cometes injusticia. 3 Tampoco favorezcas indebidamente al pobre en sus pleitos.
4 Si encuentras perdido el buey o el asno de tu enemigo, llévaselo. 5 Si ves caído bajo el peso de su carga el burro de alguien que te odia, no te desentiendas y ayúdale a levantarlo.
6 No conculques el derecho de tu compatriota indigente cuando esté involucrado en un juicio.
7 No intervengas en causas fraudulentas. No condenes a muerte al inocente ni al justo, porque yo no absolveré al culpable.
8 No te dejes sobornar con regalos, porque el regalo ciega incluso al honesto y corrompe las causas de los justos.
9 No te aproveches del inmigrante: ustedes también fueron inmigrantes en Egipto y saben lo que es vivir en un país extraño.
Descanso obligatorio
10 Durante seis años sembrarás tu tierra y recogerás su cosecha. 11 Pero el séptimo la dejarás en barbecho, sin cultivar, para que encuentren allí comida los pobres de tu pueblo, y lo restante lo coman las bestias del campo. Esto mismo harás con tus viñas y tus olivares.
12 Durante seis días trabajarás y el séptimo descansarás, a fin de que descansen tu buey y tu asno, y recobren sus fuerzas el hijo de tu esclava y el inmigrante.
13 Presten atención a todo lo que les he dicho. No invoquen el nombre de otros dioses; que nadie lo oiga de sus labios.
Prescripciones cúlticas
14 Tres veces al año celebrarás fiesta en mi honor. 15 Celebrarás la fiesta de los Panes sin levadura. Durante siete días comerás panes sin levadura, como te lo mandé, en el tiempo señalado del mes de Abib, porque en ese mes saliste de Egipto. Nadie se presentará ante mí con las manos vacías. 16 Celebrarás la fiesta de la Siega, o sea, de las primicias de tus labores, de todo lo que hayas sembrado en el campo. Y celebrarás también la fiesta de la Recolección, a finales del año, cuando recojas de los campos el producto de tu trabajo. 17 Todos los varones se presentarán ante el Señor, tu Dios, tres veces al año.
18 Cuando me sacrifiques un animal, no acompañarás con pan fermentado su sangre, ni dejarás para el día siguiente la grasa de la víctima ofrecida en sacrificio. 19 Llevarás a la casa del Señor, tu Dios, las primicias de los frutos de tu tierra. No cocerás el cabrito en la leche de su madre.
El ángel del Señor
20 Yo enviaré un ángel delante de ti, para que te proteja en el camino, y te introduzca en el lugar que te he preparado. 21 Hazle caso y escucha su voz; no te rebeles contra él, porque mi autoridad reside en él, y no perdonará sus actos de rebeldía. 22 Si le haces caso y haces todo lo que yo te diga, seré enemigo de tus enemigos y adversario de tus adversarios, 23 porque mi ángel irá delante de ti y te conducirá a la tierra de los amorreos, hititas, fereceos, cananeos, jeveos y jebuseos, y yo los aniquilaré.
24 No te postrarás ante sus dioses ni les rendirás culto; no imitarás las costumbres de esos pueblos, sino que derribarás y harás trizas sus piedras votivas. 25 Darán culto al Señor su, y él bendecirá tu alimento y tu bebida. Yo mantendré alejadas de ti las enfermedades, 26 y en tu país ninguna mujer abortará o será estéril; te concederé vivir largos años.
27 Haré que a tu llegada se extienda el pánico y que huyan los pueblos que encuentres a tu paso. 28 Haré que el pánico cunda delante de ti, poniendo en fuga ante ti a jeveos, cananeos e hititas. 29 Pero no los expulsaré en un solo año, no sea que el país se convierta en un desierto y las fieras salvajes se multipliquen en perjuicio tuyo. 30 Los iré expulsando poco a poco, a medida que vayas haciéndote más numeroso y adueñándote del país.
31 Fijaré tus fronteras desde el mar de las Cañas hasta el mar de los filisteos, y desde el desierto hasta el río Éufrates. Yo he puesto en tus manos a los habitantes del país para que puedas expulsarlos. 32 Guárdate de hacer alianzas con ellos o con sus dioses. 33 Tampoco les permitas vivir en el país, para que no te inciten a pecar contra mí, dando culto a sus dioses; eso sería tu perdición.

Laws of Justice and Mercy
23 “Do not spread false reports.(A) Do not help a guilty person by being a malicious witness.(B)
2 “Do not follow the crowd in doing wrong. When you give testimony in a lawsuit, do not pervert justice(C) by siding with the crowd,(D) 3 and do not show favoritism(E) to a poor person in a lawsuit.
4 “If you come across your enemy’s(F) ox or donkey wandering off, be sure to return it.(G) 5 If you see the donkey(H) of someone who hates you fallen down under its load, do not leave it there; be sure you help them with it.
6 “Do not deny justice(I) to your poor people in their lawsuits. 7 Have nothing to do with a false charge(J) and do not put an innocent(K) or honest person to death,(L) for I will not acquit the guilty.(M)
8 “Do not accept a bribe,(N) for a bribe blinds those who see and twists the words of the innocent.
9 “Do not oppress a foreigner;(O) you yourselves know how it feels to be foreigners, because you were foreigners in Egypt.
Sabbath Laws
10 “For six years you are to sow your fields and harvest the crops, 11 but during the seventh year let the land lie unplowed and unused.(P) Then the poor among your people may get food from it, and the wild animals may eat what is left. Do the same with your vineyard and your olive grove.
12 “Six days do your work,(Q) but on the seventh day do not work, so that your ox and your donkey may rest, and so that the slave born in your household and the foreigner living among you may be refreshed.(R)
13 “Be careful(S) to do everything I have said to you. Do not invoke the names of other gods;(T) do not let them be heard on your lips.(U)
The Three Annual Festivals
14 “Three times(V) a year you are to celebrate a festival to me.
15 “Celebrate the Festival of Unleavened Bread;(W) for seven days eat bread made without yeast, as I commanded you. Do this at the appointed time in the month of Aviv,(X) for in that month you came out of Egypt.
“No one is to appear before me empty-handed.(Y)
16 “Celebrate the Festival of Harvest(Z) with the firstfruits(AA) of the crops you sow in your field.
“Celebrate the Festival of Ingathering(AB) at the end of the year, when you gather in your crops from the field.(AC)
17 “Three times(AD) a year all the men are to appear before the Sovereign Lord.
18 “Do not offer the blood of a sacrifice to me along with anything containing yeast.(AE)
“The fat of my festival offerings must not be kept until morning.(AF)
19 “Bring the best of the firstfruits(AG) of your soil to the house of the Lord your God.
“Do not cook a young goat in its mother’s milk.(AH)
God’s Angel to Prepare the Way
20 “See, I am sending an angel(AI) ahead of you to guard you along the way and to bring you to the place I have prepared.(AJ) 21 Pay attention to him and listen(AK) to what he says. Do not rebel against him; he will not forgive(AL) your rebellion,(AM) since my Name(AN) is in him. 22 If you listen carefully to what he says and do(AO) all that I say, I will be an enemy(AP) to your enemies and will oppose those who oppose you. 23 My angel will go ahead of you and bring you into the land of the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Canaanites, Hivites and Jebusites,(AQ) and I will wipe them out. 24 Do not bow down before their gods or worship(AR) them or follow their practices.(AS) You must demolish(AT) them and break their sacred stones(AU) to pieces. 25 Worship the Lord your God,(AV) and his blessing(AW) will be on your food and water. I will take away sickness(AX) from among you, 26 and none will miscarry or be barren(AY) in your land. I will give you a full life span.(AZ)
27 “I will send my terror(BA) ahead of you and throw into confusion(BB) every nation you encounter. I will make all your enemies turn their backs and run.(BC) 28 I will send the hornet(BD) ahead of you to drive the Hivites, Canaanites and Hittites(BE) out of your way. 29 But I will not drive them out in a single year, because the land would become desolate and the wild animals(BF) too numerous for you. 30 Little by little I will drive them out before you, until you have increased enough to take possession(BG) of the land.
31 “I will establish your borders from the Red Sea[a] to the Mediterranean Sea,[b] and from the desert to the Euphrates River.(BH) I will give into your hands the people who live in the land, and you will drive them out(BI) before you. 32 Do not make a covenant(BJ) with them or with their gods. 33 Do not let them live in your land or they will cause you to sin against me, because the worship of their gods will certainly be a snare(BK) to you.”

Justice for All
23 “You (A)shall not circulate a false report. Do not put your hand with the wicked to be an (B)unrighteous witness. 2 (C)You shall not follow a crowd to do evil; (D)nor shall you testify in a dispute so as to turn aside after many to pervert justice. 3 You shall not show partiality to a (E)poor man in his dispute.
4 (F)“If you meet your enemy’s ox or his donkey going astray, you shall surely bring it back to him again. 5 (G)If you see the donkey of one who hates you lying under its burden, and you would refrain from helping it, you shall surely help him with it.
6 (H)“You shall not pervert the judgment of your poor in his dispute. 7 (I)Keep yourself far from a false matter; (J)do not kill the innocent and righteous. For (K)I will not justify the wicked. 8 And (L)you shall take no bribe, for a bribe blinds the discerning and perverts the words of the righteous.
9 “Also (M)you shall not oppress a [a]stranger, for you know the heart of a stranger, because you were strangers in the land of Egypt.
The Law of Sabbaths
10 (N)“Six years you shall sow your land and gather in its produce, 11 but 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. In like manner you shall do with your vineyard and your [b]olive grove. 12 (O)Six days you shall do your work, and on the seventh day you shall rest, that your ox and your donkey may rest, and the son of your female servant and the stranger may be refreshed.
13 “And in all that I have said to you, (P)be circumspect and (Q)make no mention of the name of other gods, nor let it be heard from your mouth.
Three Annual Feasts(R)
14 (S)“Three times you shall keep a feast to Me in the year: 15 (T)You shall keep the Feast of Unleavened Bread (you shall eat unleavened bread seven days, as I commanded you, at the time appointed in the month of Abib, for in it you came out of Egypt; (U)none shall appear before Me empty); 16 (V)and the Feast of Harvest, the firstfruits of your labors which you have sown in the field; and (W)the Feast of Ingathering at the end of the year, when you have gathered in the fruit of your labors from the field.
17 (X)“Three times in the year all your males shall appear before the Lord [c]God.
18 (Y)“You shall not offer the blood of My sacrifice with leavened (Z)bread; nor shall the fat of My [d]sacrifice remain until morning. 19 (AA)The first of the firstfruits of your land you shall bring into the house of the Lord your God. (AB)You shall not boil a young goat in its mother’s milk.
The Angel and the Promises
20 (AC)“Behold, I send an Angel before you to keep you in the way and to bring you into the place which I have prepared. 21 Beware of Him and obey His voice; (AD)do not provoke Him, for He will (AE)not pardon your transgressions; for (AF)My name is in Him. 22 But if you indeed obey His voice and do all that I speak, then (AG)I will be an enemy to your enemies and an adversary to your adversaries. 23 (AH)For My Angel will go before you and (AI)bring you in to the Amorites and the Hittites and the Perizzites and the Canaanites and the Hivites and the Jebusites; and I will [e]cut them off. 24 You shall not (AJ)bow down to their gods, nor serve them, (AK)nor do according to their works; (AL)but you shall utterly overthrow them and completely break down their sacred pillars.
25 “So you shall (AM)serve the Lord your God, and (AN)He will bless your bread and your water. And (AO)I will take sickness away from the midst of you. 26 (AP)No one shall suffer miscarriage or be barren in your land; I will (AQ)fulfill the number of your days.
27 “I will send (AR)My fear before you, I will (AS)cause confusion among all the people to whom you come, and will make all your enemies turn their backs to you. 28 And (AT)I will send hornets before you, which shall drive out the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite from before you. 29 (AU)I will not drive them out from before you in one year, lest the land become desolate and the beasts of the field become too numerous for you. 30 Little by little I will drive them out from before you, until you have increased, and you inherit the land. 31 And (AV)I will set your [f]bounds from the Red Sea to the sea, Philistia, and from the desert to the [g]River. For I will (AW)deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand, and you shall drive them out before you. 32 (AX)You shall make no [h]covenant with them, nor with their gods. 33 They shall not dwell in your land, lest they make you sin against Me. For if you serve their gods, (AY)it will surely be a snare to you.”
