New Testament

Exodus 23:7-12 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

7. You will stay far from a false charge, and do not kill the innocent and the righteous, because I will not declare the wicked righteous.

8. And you will not take a bribe, because the bribe makes the sighted blind and ruins the words of the righteous.

9. And you will not oppress an alien; you yourselves know the feelings of the alien, because you were aliens in the land of Egypt.

10. “ ‘And six years you will sow your land and gather its yield.

11. But the seventh you will let it rest and leave it fallow, and the poor of your people will eat, and their remainder the animals of the field will eat. You will do likewise for your vineyard and for your olive trees.

12. “ ‘Six days you will do your work, but on the seventh day you will stop so that your ox and your donkey will rest and the son of your slave woman and the alien will be refreshed.
