Exodus 23:5-20 Young's Literal Translation Of The Holy Bible (YLT98)

5. when thou seest the ass of him who is hating thee crouching under its burden, then thou hast ceased from leaving [it] to it--thou dost certainly leave [it] with him.

6. `Thou dost not turn aside the judgment of thy needy one in his strife;

7. from a false matter thou dost keep far off, and an innocent and righteous man thou dost not slay; for I do not justify a wicked man.

8. `And a bribe thou dost not take; for the bribe bindeth the open -[eyed], and perverteth the words of the righteous.

9. `And a sojourner thou dost not oppress, and ye--ye have known the soul of the sojourner, for sojourners ye have been in the land of Egypt.

11. and the seventh thou dost release it, and hast left it, and the needy of thy people have eaten, and their leaving doth the beast of the field eat; so dost thou to thy vineyard--to thine oliveyard.

12. `Six days thou dost do thy work, and on the seventh day thou dost rest, so that thine ox and thine ass doth rest, and the son of thine handmaid and the sojourner is refreshed;

16. and the Feast of Harvest, the first fruits of thy works which thou sowest in the field; and the Feast of the In-Gathering, in the outgoing of the year, in thy gathering thy works out of the field.

17. `Three times in a year do all thy males appear before the face of the Lord Jehovah.

18. `Thou dost not sacrifice on a fermented thing the blood of My sacrifice, and the fat of My festival doth not remain till morning;

19. the beginning of the first-fruits of thy ground thou dost bring into the house of Jehovah thy God; thou dost not boil a kid in its mother's milk.

20. `Lo, I am sending a messenger before thee to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee in unto the place which I have prepared;
