Exodus 23:5-15 King James 2000 (KJ2000)

5. If you see the donkey of him who hates you lying under its burden, and would refrain to help him, you shall surely help with him.

6. You shall not pervert the justice of your poor in his dispute.

7. Keep far from a false matter; and the innocent and righteous slay you not: for I will not justify the wicked.

8. And you shall take no bribe: for the bribe blinds the wise, and perverts the words of the righteous.

9. Also you shall not oppress a stranger: for you know the heart of a stranger, seeing you were strangers in the land of Egypt.

10. And six years you shall sow your land, and shall gather in the fruits of it:

11. But the seventh year you shall let it rest and lie still; that the poor of your people may eat: and what they leave the beasts of the field shall eat. In like manner you shall deal with your vineyard, and with your oliveyard.

12. Six days you shall do your work, and on the seventh day you shall rest: that your ox and your donkey may rest, and the son of your 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 your mouth.

14. Three times you shall keep a feast unto me in the year.

15. You shall keep the feast of unleavened bread: (you shall eat unleavened bread seven days, as I commanded you, in the time appointed of the month Abib; for in it you came out from Egypt: and none shall appear before me empty:)
