New Testament

Exodus 23:6-18 World Messianic Bible British Edition (WMBBE)

6. “You shall not deny justice to your poor people in their lawsuits.

7. “Keep far from a false charge, and don’t kill the innocent and righteous; for I will not justify the wicked.

8. “You shall take no bribe, for a bribe blinds those who have sight and perverts the words of the righteous.

9. “You shall not oppress an alien, for you know the heart of an alien, since you were aliens in the land of Egypt.

10. “For six years you shall sow your land, and shall gather in its increase,

11. but the seventh year you shall let it rest and lie fallow, that the poor of your people may eat; and what they leave the animal of the field shall eat. In the same way, you shall deal with your vineyard and with your olive grove.

12. “Six days you shall do your work, and on the seventh day you shall rest, that your ox and your donkey may have rest, and the son of your servant, and the alien may be refreshed.

13. “Be careful to do all things that I have said to you; and don’t invoke the name of other gods or even let them be heard out of your mouth.

14. “You shall observe a feast to me three times a year.

15. You shall observe the feast of unleavened bread. Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread, as I commanded you, at the time appointed in the month Abib (for in it you came out of Egypt), and no one shall appear before me empty.

16. And the feast of harvest, the first fruits of your labours, which you sow in the field; and the feast of ingathering, at the end of the year, when you gather in your labours out of the field.

17. Three times in the year all your males shall appear before the Lord GOD.

18. “You shall not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leavened bread. The fat of my feast shall not remain all night until the morning.
