| Exodus 23:1 | Thou shalt not utter a false report; put not thy hand with the wicked to be an unrighteous witness.
|
| Exodus 23:2 | Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil; neither shalt thou bear witness in a cause to turn aside after a multitude to pervert justice;
|
| Exodus 23:3 | neither shalt thou favour a poor man in his cause.
|

|
| Exodus 23:7 | Keep thee far from a false matter; and the innocent and righteous slay thou not; for I will not justify the wicked.

|
| Exodus 23:10 | And six years thou shalt sow thy land, and gather in the increase thereof;
|
| Exodus 23:11 | but the seventh year thou shalt let it rest and lie fallow, that the poor of thy people may eat; and what they leave the beast of the field shall eat. In like manner thou shalt deal with thy vineyard, and with thy oliveyard.
|

|
| Exodus 23:15 | The feast of unleavened bread shalt thou keep; seven days thou shalt eat unleavened bread, as I commanded thee, at the time appointed in the month Abib for in it thou camest out from Egypt; and none shall appear before Me empty;
|
| Exodus 23:16 | and the feast of harvest, the first-fruits of thy labours, which thou sowest in the field; and the feast of ingathering, at the end of the year, when thou gatherest in thy labours out of the field.
|
| Exodus 23:17 | Three times in the year all thy males shall appear before the Lord GOD.
|
| Exodus 23:18 | Thou shalt not offer the blood of My sacrifice with leavened bread; neither shall the fat of My feast remain all night until the morning.

|
| Exodus 23:20 | Behold, I send an angel before thee, to keep thee by the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared.
|
| Exodus 23:21 | Take heed of him, and hearken unto his voice; be not rebellious against him; for he will not pardon your transgression; for My name is in him.
|

|
| Exodus 23:23 | For Mine angel shall go before thee, and bring thee in unto the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Canaanite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite; and I will cut them off.
|
| Exodus 23:24 | Thou shalt not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor do after their doings; but thou shalt utterly overthrow them, and break in pieces their pillars.

|
| Exodus 23:26 | None shall miscarry, nor be barren, in thy land; the number of thy days I will fulfil.
|
| Exodus 23:27 | I will send My terror before thee, and will discomfit all the people to whom thou shalt come, and I will make all thine enemies turn their backs unto thee.
|
| Exodus 23:28 | And I will send the hornet before thee, which shall drive out the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite, from before thee.
|
| Exodus 23:29 | I will not drive them out from before thee in one year, lest the land become desolate, and the beasts of the field multiply against thee.
|
| Exodus 23:30 | By little and little I will drive them out from before thee, until thou be increased, and inherit the land.
|
| Exodus 23:31 | And I will set thy border from the Red Sea even unto the sea of the Philistines, and from the wilderness unto the River; for I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand; and thou shalt drive them out before thee.
|
| Exodus 23:32 | Thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor with their gods.
|
| Exodus 23:33 | They shall not dwell in thy land lest they make thee sin against Me, for thou wilt serve their gods for they will be a snare unto thee.
