New Testament

Exodus 23:8-13 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

8. “You must not accept money from a person who wants you to lie in court. Such money will not let you see what is right. Such money makes good people tell lies.

9. “You must not mistreat a foreigner. You know how it feels to be a foreigner. You were foreigners in Egypt.

10. “For six years you are to plant and harvest crops on your land.

11. Then during the seventh year, do not plow or plant your land. If any food grows there, allow the poor people to have it. And let the wild animals eat what is left. You should do the same with your vineyards and your orchards of olive trees.

12. “You should work six days a week. But on the seventh day you must rest. This lets your ox and your donkey rest. This also lets the slave born in your house and the foreigner be refreshed.

13. “Be sure to do all that I have said to you. You must not even say the names of other gods. The names of those gods must not come out of your mouth.
