Exodus 23:8-11 New English Translation (NET)

8. “You must not accept a bribe, for a bribe blinds those who see and subverts the words of the righteous.

9. “You must not oppress a foreigner, since you know the life of a foreigner, for you were foreigners in the land of Egypt.

10. “For six years you are to sow your land and gather in its produce.

11. But in the seventh year you must let it lie fallow and leave it alone so that the poor of your people may eat, and what they leave any animal in the field may eat; you must do likewise with your vineyard and your olive grove.
