JUDGMENT AND MERCY
Neither bear a vain report: nor put your hand with the wicked to become a witness of violence. 2 Neither follow many to evil; nor witness in a dispute to deviate many to pervert. 3 Esteem not the poor in his dispute. 4 If you encounter an ox of your enemy or his he burro straying, in returning, return it to him. 5 If you see the he burro of him who hates you crouched under his burden and cease to release him, in releasing, release him. 6 Deviate not the judgment of your poor in his dispute. 7 Remove afar from a false word; and the innocent and just slaughter you not: for I justify not the wicked. 8 And take no bribe: for the bribe blinds the open-eyed and perverts the words of the just. 9 And oppress not a sojourner: for you know the soul of a sojourner, because you were sojourners in the land of Misrayim. 10 And six years seed your land and gather in the produce thereof: 11 but the seventh, release it and leave it alone for the needy of your people to eat: and the remainder, the live beings of the field to eat. In like manner work with your vineyard and with your olives. 12 Six days work your work and on the seventh day shabbathize: so that your ox and your he burro rest and the son of your maid and the sojourner refresh. 13 And in all that I say to you, guard: neither memorialize the name of other elohim, nor let it be heard from your mouth. 14
THREE CELEBRATIONS
Celebrate three paces to me in the year. 15 Guard the celebration of matsah: eat matsah seven days, as I misvahed you, in the season of the month Abib; for in it you came from Misrayim: and not be seen empty at my face. 16 And the celebration of harvest: the firstfruits of the works you seeded in the field. And the celebration of ingathering: - in the end of the year when you ingather your works from the field. 17 Three times in the year have all your males be seen at the face of Adonay Yah Veh: 18 neither sacrifice the blood of my sacrifice with fermentation; nor the celebration stay overnight until the morning. 19 Bring the first of the firstfruits of your soil into the house of Yah Veh your Elohim. Stew not a kid in the milk of his mother. 20
THE ANGEL OF YAH VEH
Behold, I send an angel at your face to guard you in the way; and to bring you to the place I prepared. 21 Guard at his face and hear his voice, embitter him not; for he bears not your rebellions: for my name is in him. 22 But if in hearing, you hear his voice, and work all I word; then I become an enemy to your enemies and besiege them who tribulate you. 23 For my angel goes at your face and brings you to the Emoriy and the Hethiy and the Perizziy and the Kenaaniy the Hivviy and the Yebusiy: and I cut them off. 24 Neither prostrate to their elohim, nor serve them, nor work after their works: but in demolishing, demolish them and in breaking, break their monoliths; 25 and serve Yah Veh your Elohim: and he blesses your bread and your water; and I turn away sickness from your midst. 26 There is neither the aborted nor the sterile, in your land: the number of your days I fulfil. 27 I send my fear at your face and agitate all the people to whom you come and I give so that all your enemies turn their neck to you: 28 and I send hornets at your face to expel the Hivviy, the Kenaaniy and the Hethiy from your face. 29 I expel them not from your face in one year; lest the land become desolate and the live being of the field be many against you: 30 little by little I expel them from your face, until you bear fruit and inherit the land. 31 And I set your borders from the Reed sea even to the sea of the Peleshethiym and from the wilderness to the river: for I give them who settle the land into your hand; and you expel them from your face. 32 Neither cut covenant with them nor with their elohim: 33 settle them not in your land lest they cause you to sin against me: for if you serve their elohim, it becomes a snare to you.
