Exodus 23:6-11 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

6. “Do not turn aside the right-ruling of your poor in his strife.

7. “Keep yourself far from a false matter, and do not kill the innocent and the righteous, for I do not declare the wrong right.

8. “And do not take a bribe, for a bribe blinds the seeing one and twists the words of the righteous.

9. “And do not oppress a sojourner, as you yourselves know the heart of a sojourner, because you were sojourners in the land of Mitsrayim.

10. “And for six years you are to sow your land, and shall gather its increase,

11. but the seventh year you are to let it rest, and shall leave it, and the poor of your people shall eat. And what they leave, the beasts of the field eat. Do the same with your vineyard and your oliveyard.
