1. Thou shalt not admit a false rumour; put not thine hand with the wicked to be a false witness.
2. Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil; neither shalt thou speak in a cause hiding behind many to wrest judgment;
3. neither shalt thou honour a poor man in his cause.
4. If thou should encounter thine enemy’s ox or his ass astray, thou shalt surely bring it back to him again.
5. If thou see the ass of him that hates thee lying under his burden, will thou forbear to help him? Thou shalt surely help him to raise it up.
6. Thou shalt not pervert the rights of thy poor in his cause.
7. Keep thee far from a false matter; and slay thou not the innocent and righteous; for I will not justify the wicked.
8. And thou shalt take no bribe; for the bribe blinds the wise and perverts the words of the righteous.
9. Also thou shalt not oppress a stranger, for ye know the state of the soul of a stranger, seeing ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.
10. And six years thou shalt sow thy land and shalt gather in its increase,
11. but the seventh year thou shalt leave it free and release it, 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.
12. 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.
13. 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.
14. Three times thou shalt celebrate a feast unto me in the year:
15. 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 didst come out from Egypt; and none shall appear before me empty),
16. And the feast of the harvest of 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.
17. Three times in the year all thy males shall appear before the Lord GOD.
