Exodus 23:1-9
1599 Geneva Bible
23 2 Not to follow the multitude. 13 Not to make mention of the strange gods. 14 The three solemn feasts. 20, 23 The Angel is promised to lead his people. 25 What God promiseth if they obey him. 29 God will cast out the Canaanites by little and little, and why.
1 Thou shalt not [a]receive a false tale, neither shalt thou put thine hand with the wicked, to be a [b]false witness.
2 ¶ Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil, neither [c]agree in a controversy [d]to decline after many and overthrow the truth.
3 ¶ Thou shalt not esteem a poor man in his cause.
4 ¶ If thou meet thine enemy’s ox, or his ass going astray, thou shalt [e]bring him to him again.
5 If thou see thine enemy’s [f]ass lying under his burden, wilt thou cease to help him? thou shalt help him up again with it.
6 Thou shalt not overthrow the right of the poor in his suit.
7 Thou shalt keep thee far from a false matter, thou shalt not slay the [g]innocent and the righteous: for I will not justify a wicked man.
8 ¶ (A)Thou shalt take no gift: for the gift blindeth the [h]wise, and perverteth the words of the righteous.
9 ¶ Thou shalt not oppress a stranger: for ye know the [i]heart of a stranger, seeing ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.
