¹⁰And six years thou shalt sow thy land, and shalt gather in the fruits thereof:

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

¹²Six days thou shalt do thy work, and on the seventh day thou shalt rest: that thine ox and thine ass may rest, and the son of thy handmaid, and the stranger, may be refreshed.

¹⁵Thou shalt keep the feast of unleavened bread: (thou shalt eat unleavened bread seven days, as I commanded thee, in the time appointed of the month Abib; for in it thou camest out from Egypt: and none shall appear before me empty:)

¹⁶And the feast of harvest, the firstfruits of thy labours, which thou hast sown in the field: and the feast of ingathering, which is in the end of the year, when thou hast gathered in thy labours out of the field.

¹⁷Three times in the year all thy males shall appear before the Lord God.

¹⁸Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leavened bread; neither shall the fat of my sacrifice remain until the morning.

¹⁹The first of the firstfruits of thy land thou shalt bring into the house of the Lord thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother’s milk.

²²But if thou shalt indeed obey his voice, and do all that I speak; then I will be an enemy unto thine enemies, and an adversary unto thine adversaries.

²³For mine Angel shall go before thee, and bring thee in unto the Amorites, and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites: and I will cut them off.

²⁴Thou shalt not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor do after their works: but thou shalt utterly overthrow them, and quite break down their images.

²⁹I will not drive them out from before thee in one year; lest the land become desolate, and the beast of the field multiply against thee.

³⁰By little and little I will drive them out from before thee, until thou be increased, and inherit the land.

³¹And I will set thy bounds from the Red sea even unto the sea of the Philistines, and from the desert unto the river: for I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand; and thou shalt drive them out before thee.

³²Thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor with their gods.

³³They shall not dwell in thy land, lest they make thee sin against me: for if thou serve their gods, it will surely be a snare unto thee.

¹¶ Thou shalt not ^‖raise a false report: put not thine hand with the wicked to bee an vnrighteous witnesse.

²¶ Thou shalt not follow a multitude to doe euill: neither shalt thou ^†speake in a cause, to decline after many, to wrest iudgement:

³¶ Neither shalt thou countenance a poore man in his cause.

⁴¶ If thou meete thine enemies oxe or his asse going astray, thou shalt surely bring it backe to him againe.

^5*If thou see the asse of him that hateth thee, lying vnder his burden, ^‖and wouldest forbeare to helpe him, thou shalt surely helpe with him.

⁶Thou shalt not wrest the iudgement of thy poore in his cause.

⁷Keepe thee farre from a false matter: and the innocent and righteous slay thou not: for I will not iustifie the wicked.

⁸¶ And ^*thou shalt take no gift: for the gift blindeth ^†the wise, and peruerteth the words of the righteous.

⁹¶ Also thou shalt not oppresse a stranger: for yee know the ^†heart of a stranger, seeing yee were strangers in the land of Egypt.

¹⁰And ^*sixe yeres thou shalt sow thy land, and shalt gather in the fruites thereof:

¹¹But the seuenth yeere thou shalt let it rest, and lie still, that the poore of thy people may eate, and what they leaue, the beasts of the field shall eate. In like maner thou shalt deale with thy vineyard, and with thy ^‖oliue yard.

^12*Sixe dayes thou shalt doe thy worke, and on the seuenth day thou shalt rest: that thine oxe and thine asse may rest, and the sonne of thy handmayd, & the stranger may be refreshed.

¹³And in all things that I haue said vnto you, be circumspect: and make no mention of the names of other gods, neither let it be heard out of thy mouth.

¹⁴¶ ^*Three times thou shalt keepe a feast vnto me in the yeere.

^15*Thou shalt keepe the feast of vnleauened bread: thou shalt eate vnleauened bread seuen daies, as I commanded thee in the time appointed of the moneth Abib: for in it thou camest out from Egypt: ^*and none shall appeare before me emptie:

¹⁶And the feast of haruest, the first fruits of thy labours, which thou hast sowen in the field: and the feast of ingathering which is in the end of the yeere, when thou hast gathered in thy labours out of the field.

¹⁷Three times in the yeere all thy males shall appeare before the LORD God.

¹⁸Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leauened bread, neither shall the fat of my ^‖sacrifice remaine vntill the morning.

^19*The first of the first fruits of thy land thou shalt bring into the house of the LORD thy God: thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mothers milke.

²⁰¶ ^*Behold, I send an Angel before thee to keepe thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I haue prepared.

²¹Beware of him, and obey his voice, prouoke him not: for he will not pardon your transgressions: for my name is in him.

²²But if thou shalt indeed obey his voice, and doe all that I speake, then I wil be an enemie vnto thine enemies, and ^‖an aduersarie vnto thine aduersaries.

^23*For mine Angel shall goe before thee, and ^*bring thee in vnto the Amorites, and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, the Hiuites, and the Iebusites: and I will cut them off.

²⁴Thou shalt not bow downe to their gods, nor serue them, nor doe after their workes: ^*but thou shalt vtterly ouerthrowe them, and quite breake downe their images.

²⁵And yee shall serue the LORD your God, and he shall blesse thy bread, and thy water: and I will take sicknes away from the midst of thee.

²⁶¶ ^*There shall nothing cast their yong, nor bee barren in thy land: the number of thy dayes I will fulfill.

²⁷I will send my feare before thee, and will destroy all the people to whom thou shalt come, and I will make all thine enemies turne their ^†backes vnto thee.

²⁸And ^*I will send hornets before thee, which shall driue out the Hiuite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite from before thee.

²⁹I will not driue them out from before thee in one yeere, lest the land become desolate, and the beast of the field multiply against thee.

³⁰By little and little I will driue them out from before thee, vntill thou be increased and inherit the land.

³¹And I will set thy bounds from the Red sea, euen vnto the sea of the Philistines, and from the desert vnto the riuer: for I will deliuer the inhabitants of the land into your hand: and thou shalt driue them out before thee.

^32*Thou shalt make no couenant with them, nor with their gods.

³³They shall not dwell in thy land, lest they make thee sinne against me: for if thou serue their gods, ^*it will surely be a snare vnto thee.
