1"Do not pass along false reports. Do not cooperate with evil people by telling lies on the witness stand.

2"Do not join a crowd that intends to do evil. When you are on the witness stand, do not be swayed in your testimony by the opinion of the majority.

3And do not slant your testimony in favor of a person just because that person is poor.

4"If you come upon your enemy’s ox or donkey that has strayed away, take it back to its owner.

5If you see the donkey of someone who hates you struggling beneath a heavy load, do not walk by. Instead, stop and offer to help.

6"Do not twist justice against people simply because they are poor.

7"Keep far away from falsely charging anyone with evil. Never put an innocent or honest person to death. I will not allow anyone guilty of this to go free.

8"Take no bribes, for a bribe makes you ignore something that you clearly see. A bribe always hurts the cause of the person who is in the right.

9"Do not oppress the foreigners living among you. You know what it is like to be a foreigner. Remember your own experience in the land of Egypt.

10"Plant and harvest your crops for six years,

11but let the land rest and lie fallow during the seventh year. Then let the poor among you harvest any volunteer crop that may come up. Leave the rest for the animals to eat. The same applies to your vineyards and olive groves.

12"Work for six days, and rest on the seventh. This will give your ox and your donkey a chance to rest. It will also allow the people of your household, including your slaves and visitors, to be refreshed.

13"Be sure to obey all my instructions. And remember, never pray to or swear by any other gods. Do not even mention their names.

14"Each year you must celebrate three festivals in my honor.

15The first is the Festival of Unleavened Bread. For seven days you are to eat bread made without yeast, just as I commanded you before. This festival will be an annual event at the appointed time in early spring, for that is the anniversary of your exodus from Egypt. Everyone must bring me a sacrifice at that time.

16You must also celebrate the Festival of Harvest, when you bring me the first crops of your harvest. Finally, you are to celebrate the Festival of the Final Harvest at the end of the harvest season.

17At these three times each year, every man in Israel must appear before the Sovereign LORD.

18"Sacrificial blood must never be offered together with bread that has yeast in it. And no sacrificial fat may be left unoffered until the next morning.

19"As you harvest each of your crops, bring me a choice sample of the first day’s harvest. It must be offered to the LORD your God. "You must not cook a young goat in its mother’s milk.

20"See, I am sending my angel before you to lead you safely to the land I have prepared for you.

21Pay attention to him, and obey all of his instructions. Do not rebel against him, for he will not forgive your sins. He is my representative––he bears my name.

22But if you are careful to obey him, following all my instructions, then I will be an enemy to your enemies, and I will oppose those who oppose you.

23For my angel will go before you and bring you into the land of the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Canaanites, Hivites, and Jebusites, so you may live there. And I will destroy them.

24Do not worship the gods of these other nations or serve them in any way, and never follow their evil example. Instead, you must utterly conquer them and break down their shameful idols.

25"You must serve only the LORD your God. If you do, I will bless you with food and water, and I will keep you healthy.

26There will be no miscarriages or infertility among your people, and I will give you long, full lives.

27"I will send my terror upon all the people whose lands you invade, and they will panic before you.

28I will send hornets ahead of you to drive out the Hivites, Canaanites, and Hittites.

29But I will not do this all in one year because the land would become a wilderness, and the wild animals would become too many to control.

30I will drive them out a little at a time until your population has increased enough to fill the land.

31And I will fix your boundaries from the Red Sea to the Mediterranean Sea, and from the southern deserts to the Euphrates River. I will help you defeat the people now living in the land, and you will drive them out ahead of you.

32"Make no treaties with them and have nothing to do with their gods.

33Do not even let them live among you! If you do, they will infect you with their sin of idol worship, and that would be disastrous for you."
