THOU shalt not raise a false report: put not thine hand with the wicked to be an unrighteous witness.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1002222">2</a>. Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil; neither shalt thou speak in a cause to decline after many to wrest judgment:</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1002223">3</a>. Neither shalt thou countenance a poor man in his cause.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1002224">4</a>. If thou meet thine enemy's ox or his ass going astray, thou shalt surely bring it back to him again.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1002225">5</a>. If thou see the ass of him that hateth thee lying under his burden, and wouldest forbear to help him, thou shalt surely help with him.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1002226">6</a>. Thou shalt not wrest the judgment of thy poor in his cause.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1002227">7</a>. Keep thee far from a false matter; and the innocent and righteous slay thou not: for I will not justify the wicked.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1002228">8</a>. And thou shalt take no gift: for the gift blindeth the wise, and perverteth the words of the righteous.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1002229">9</a>. Also thou shalt not oppress a stranger: for ye know the heart of a stranger, seeing ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1002230">10</a>. And six years thou shalt sow thy land, and shalt gather in the fruits thereof:</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1002231">11</a>. But the seventh year thou shalt let it rest and lie still; that the poor of thy people may eat: and what they leave the beasts of the field shall eat.  In like manner thou shalt deal with thy vineyard, and with thy oliveyard.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1002232">12</a>. Six days thou shalt do thy work, and on the seventh day thou shalt rest: that thine ox and thine ass may rest, and the son of thy handmaid, and the stranger, may be refreshed.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1002233">13</a>. And in all things that I have said unto you be circumspect: and make no mention of the name of other gods, neither let it be heard out of thy mouth.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1002234">14</a>. Three times thou shalt keep a feast unto me in the year.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1002235">15</a>. Thou shalt keep the feast of unleavened bread: (thou shalt eat unleavened bread seven days, as I commanded thee, in the time appointed of the month Abib; for in it thou camest out from Egypt: and none shall appear before me empty:)</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1002236">16</a>. And the feast of harvest, the firstfruits of thy labours, which thou hast sown in the field: and the feast of ingathering, which is in the end of the year, when thou hast gathered in thy labours out of the field.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1002237">17</a>. Three times in the year all thy males shall appear before the Lord GOD.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1002238">18</a>. Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leavened bread; neither shall the fat of my sacrifice remain until the morning.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1002239">19</a>. The first of the firstfruits of thy land thou shalt bring into the house of the LORD thy God.  Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother's milk.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1002240">20</a>. Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1002241">21</a>. Beware of him, and obey his voice, provoke him not; for he will not pardon your transgressions: for my name is in him.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1002242">22</a>. But if thou shalt indeed obey his voice, and do all that I speak; then I will be an enemy unto thine enemies, and an adversary unto thine adversaries.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1002243">23</a>. For mine Angel shall go before thee, and bring thee in unto the Amorites, and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites: and I will cut them off.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1002244">24</a>. Thou shalt not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor do after their works: but thou shalt utterly overthrow them, and quite break down their images.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1002245">25</a>. And ye shall serve the LORD your God, and he shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1002246">26</a>. There shall nothing cast their young, nor be barren, in thy land: the number of thy days I will fulfil.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1002247">27</a>. I will send my fear before thee, and will destroy all the people to whom thou shalt come, and I will make all thine enemies turn their backs unto thee.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1002248">28</a>. And I will send hornets before thee, which shall drive out the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite, from before thee.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1002249">29</a>. I will not drive them out from before thee in one year; lest the land become desolate, and the beast of the field multiply against thee.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1002250">30</a>. By little and little I will drive them out from before thee, until thou be increased, and inherit the land.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1002251">31</a>. And I will set thy bounds from the Red sea even unto the sea of the Philistines, and from the desert unto the river: for I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand; and thou shalt drive them out before thee.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1002252">32</a>. Thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor with their gods.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1002253">33</a>. They shall not dwell in thy land, lest they make thee sin against me: for if thou serve their gods, it will surely be a snare unto thee.</li>
