For six days you may labor and do all your work,

You are to work and do all your tasks in six days,

You must revere the Lord your God, serve him, and take oaths using only his name.

“On six days you may labor, but on the seventh day you must rest; even at the time of plowing and of harvest you are to rest.

“‘If your brother becomes impoverished with regard to you so that he sells himself to you, you must not subject him to slave service.

Revere the Lord your God, serve him, be loyal to him and take oaths only in his name.

The desolate land will be plowed, instead of being desolate in the sight of everyone who passes by.

When you try to cultivate the ground it will no longer yield its best for you. You will be a homeless wanderer on the earth.”

You will live by your sword but you will serve your brother. When you grow restless, you will tear off his yoke from your neck.”

Complete my older daughter’s bridal week. Then we will give you the younger one too, in exchange for seven more years of work.”

They must not live in your land, lest they make you sin against me, for if you serve their gods, it will surely be a snare to you.”

You must set apart for the Lord your God every firstborn male born to your herds and flocks. You must not work the firstborn of your bulls or shear the firstborn of your flocks.

You must destroy all the people whom the Lord your God is about to deliver over to you; you must not pity them or worship their gods, for that will be a snare to you.
