Chapter 23

23:1    “Do not spread false rumors, and do not help a guilty person by giving false testimony.

23:2    Do not follow the majority when they do wrong or when they give testimony that perverts justice.

23:3    Do not show partiality to a poor person at his trial.

23:4    “If you happen to see your enemy’s cow or donkey running loose, take it back to him.

23:5    If his donkey has fallen under its load, help him get the donkey to its feet again; don’t just walk off.

23:6    “Do not deny justice to a poor person when he appears in court.

23:7    Do not make false accusations, and do not put an innocent person to death, for I will condemn anyone who does such an evil thing.

23:8    Do not accept a bribe, for a bribe makes people blind to what is right and ruins the cause of those who are innocent.

23:9    “Do not mistreat a foreigner; you know how it feels to be a foreigner, because you were foreigners in Egypt.
