with him. {and...: or, wilt thou cease to help him? or, and wouldest cease to leave thy business for him: thou shalt surely leave it to join with him}

23:6

Thou shalt not wrest
<05186> (8686)

the judgment
<04941>

of thy poor
<034>

in his cause
<07379>_.

23:7

Keep thee far
<07368> (8799)

from a false
<08267>

matter
<01697>_;

and the innocent
<05355>

and righteous
<06662>

slay
<02026> (8799)

thou not: for I will not justify
<06663> (8686)

the wicked
<07563>_.

23:8

And thou shalt take
<03947> (8799)

no gift
<07810>_:

for the gift
<07810>

blindeth
<05786> (8762)

the wise
<06493>_,

and perverteth
<05557> (8762)

the words
<01697>

of the righteous
<06662>_.

{the wise: Heb. the seeing}

23:9

Also thou shalt not oppress
<03905> (8799)

a stranger
<01616>_:

for ye know
<03045> (8804)

the heart
<05315>

of a stranger
<01616>_,

seeing
<03588>

ye were strangers
<01616>

in the land
<0776>

of Egypt
<04714>_.

{heart: Heb. soul}

23:10

And six
<08337>

years
<08141>

thou shalt sow
<02232> (8799)

thy land
<0776>_,

and shalt gather
<0622> (8804)

in the fruits
<08393>

thereof:

23:11

But the seventh
<07637>

[year] thou shalt let it rest
<08058> (8799)

and lie
<05203> (8804)

still; that the poor
<034>

of thy people
<05971>

may eat
<0398> (8804)_:

and what they leave
<03499>

the beasts
<02416>

of the field
<07704>

shall eat
<0398> (8799)_.

In like manner thou shalt deal
<06213> (8799)

with thy vineyard
<03754>_,

[and] with thy oliveyard
<02132>_.

{oliveyard: or, olive trees}

23:12

Six
<08337>

days
<03117>

thou shalt do
<06213> (8799)

thy work
<04639>_,

and on the seventh
<07637>

day
<03117>

thou shalt rest
<07673> (8799)_:

that thine ox
<07794>

and thine ass
<02543>

may rest
<05117> (8799)_,

and the son
<01121>

of thy handmaid
<0519>_,

and the stranger
<01616>_,

may be refreshed
<05314> (8735)_.

23:13

And in all [things] that I have said
<0559> (8804)

unto you be circumspect
<08104> (8735)_:

and make no mention
<02142> (8686)

of the name
<08034>

of other
<0312>

gods
<0430>_,

neither let it be heard
<08085> (8735)

out
<05921>

of thy mouth
<06310>_.

23:14

Three
<07969>

times
<07272>

thou shalt keep a feast
<02287> (8799)

unto me in the year
<08141>_.

23:15

Thou shalt keep
<08104> (8799)

the feast
<02282>

of unleavened bread
<04682>_:

(thou shalt eat
<0398> (8799)

unleavened bread
<04682>

seven
<07651>

days
<03117>_,

as I commanded
<06680> (8765)

thee, in the time appointed
<04150>

of the month
<02320>

Abib
<024>_;

for in it thou camest out
<03318> (8804)

from Egypt
<04714>_:

and none shall appear
<07200> (8735)

before
<06440>

me empty
<07387>:)

23:16

And the feast
<02282>

of harvest
<07105>_,

the firstfruits
<01061>

of thy labours
<04639>_,

which thou hast sown
<02232> (8799)

in the field
<07704>_:

and the feast
<02282>

of ingathering
<0614>_,

[which is] in the end
<03318> (8800)

of the year
<08141>_,

when thou hast gathered
<0622> (8800)

in thy labours
<04639>

out of the field
<07704>_.

23:17

Three
<07969>

times
<06471>

in the year
<08141>

all thy males
<02138>

shall appear
<07200> (8735)

before
<06440>

the Lord
<0113>

GOD
<03068>_.

23:18

Thou shalt not offer
<02076> (8799)

the blood
<01818>

of my sacrifice
<02077>

with leavened bread
<02557>_;

neither shall the fat
<02459>

of my sacrifice
<02282>

remain
<03885> (8799)

until the morning
<01242>_.

{sacrifice: or, feast}

23:19

The first
<07225>

of the firstfruits
<01061>

of thy land
<0127>

thou shalt bring
<0935> (8686)

into the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>_.

Thou shalt not seethe
<01310> (8762)

a kid
<01423>

in his mother's
<0517>

milk
<02461>_.

23:20

Behold, I send
<07971> (8802)

an Angel
<04397>

before
<06440>

thee, to keep
<08104> (8800)

thee in the way
<01870>_,

and to bring
<0935> (8687)

thee into the place
<04725>

which I have prepared
<03559> (8689)_.

23:21

Beware
<08104> (8734)

of
<06440>

him, and obey
<08085> (8798)

his voice
<06963>_,

provoke
<04843> (8686)

him not; for he will not pardon
<05375> (8799)

your transgressions
<06588>_:

for my name
<08034>

[is] in him
<07130>_.

23:22

But if thou shalt indeed
<08085> (8800)

obey
<08085> (8799)

his voice
<06963>_,

and do
<06213> (8804)

all that I speak
<01696> (8762)_;

then I will be an enemy
<0340> (8804)

unto thine enemies
<0341> (8802)_,

and an adversary
<06887> (8802)

unto thine adversaries
<06696> (8804)_.

{an adversary...: or, I will afflict them that afflict thee}

23:23

For mine Angel
<04397>

shall go
<03212> (8799)

before
<06440>

thee, and bring
<0935> (8689)

thee in unto the Amorites
<0567>_,

and the Hittites
<02850>_,

and the Perizzites
<06522>_,

and the Canaanites
<03669>_,

the Hivites
<02340>_,

and the Jebusites
<02983>_:

and I will cut them off
<03582> (8689)_.

23:24

Thou shalt not bow down
<07812> (8691)

to their gods
<0430>_,

nor serve
<05647> (8714)

them, nor do
<06213> (8799)

after their works
<04639>_:

but thou shalt utterly
<02040> (8763)

overthrow
<02040> (8762)

them, and quite
<07665> (8763)

break down
<07665> (8762)

their images
<04676>_.

23:25

And ye shall serve
<05647> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

your God
<0430>_,

and he shall bless
<01288> (8765)

thy bread
<03899>_,

and thy water
<04325>_;

and I will take
<05493> (0)

sickness
<04245>

away
<05493> (8689)

from the midst
<07130>

of thee.

23:26

There shall nothing cast their young
<07921> (8764)_,

nor be barren
<06135>_,

in thy land
<0776>_:

the number
<04557>

of thy days
<03117>

I will fulfil
<04390> (8762)_.

23:27

I will send
<07971> (8762)

my fear
<0367>

before
<06440>

thee, and will destroy
<02000> (8804)

all the people
<05971>

to whom thou shalt come
<0935> (8799)_,

and I will make
<05414> (8804)

all thine enemies
<0341> (8802)

turn their backs
<06203>

unto thee. {backs: Heb. neck}

23:28

And I will send
<07971> (8804)

hornets
<06880>

before
<06440>

thee, which shall drive out
<01644> (8765)

the Hivite
<02340>_,

the Canaanite
<03669>_,

and the Hittite
<02850>_,

from before
<06440>

thee.

23:29

I will not drive them out
<01644> (8762)

from before
<06440>

thee in one
<0259>

year
<08141>_;

lest the land
<0776>

become desolate
<08077>_,

and the beast
<02416>

of the field
<07704>

multiply
<07227>

against thee.

23:30

By little
<04592>

and little
<04592>

I will drive them out
<01644> (8762)

from before
<06440>

thee, until thou be increased
<06509> (8799)_,

and inherit
<05157> (8804)

the land
<0776>_.

23:31

And I will set
<07896> (8804)

thy bounds
<01366>

from the Red
<05488>

sea
<03220>

even unto the sea
<03220>

of the Philistines
<06430>_,

and from the desert
<04057>

unto the river
<05104>_:

for I will deliver
<05414> (8799)

the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of the land
<0776>

into your hand
<03027>_;

and thou shalt drive them out
<01644> (8765)

before
<06440>

thee.

23:32

Thou shalt make
<03772> (8799)

no covenant
<01285>

with them, nor with their gods
<0430>_.

23:33

They shall not dwell
<03427> (8799)

in thy land
<0776>_,

lest they make thee sin
<02398> (8686)

against me: for if thou serve
<05647> (8799)

their gods
<0430>_,

it will surely be a snare
<04170>

unto thee.
