23
If thou afflict them in any wise, and they

with the sword; and your wives shall be widows, and your children fatherless.

If thou lend money to
any of
my people
that is
poor by thee, thou shalt not be to him as an
usurer, neither shalt thou lay upon him usury.
26
If thou at all take thy neighbour’s raiment to pledge,
thou shalt deliver it unto him by that the sun goeth down:
27

is
his
raiment for his skin: wherein shall he sleep? and it shall come to pass, when he crieth unto me, that
I will hear; for I
am
gracious.

to offer
the first of thy ripe fruits, and of thy liquors: the firstborn of thy

and
with thy sheep: seven
days it shall be with his dam; on the eighth day thou shalt give it me.

any
flesh
that is
torn of beasts in the
field; ye shall cast it to the dogs.
CHAPTER 23
Thou shalt not raise a false report: put not thine hand with the wicked to be an unrighteous witness.

do
evil; neither shalt thou speak in a cause to decline after
many to wrest
judgment:

again.

help him, thou shalt surely help with him.

cause.

not justify the wicked.

righteous.

strangers in the land of Egypt.
10
And six years thou shalt sow thy land, and shalt gather in the fruits
