| 1 "You shall not bear a false report; do not join your hand with a wicked man to be a malicious witness. | 1 Thou shalt not raise a false report: put not thine hand with the wicked to be an unrighteous witness. | 1 Thou shalt not take up a false report: put not thy hand with the wicked to be an unrighteous witness. | 1 Thou shalt not receive the voice of a lie: neither shalt thou join thy hand to bear false witness for a wicked person. | 1 'Thou dost not lift up a vain report; thou dost not put thy hand with a wicked man to be a violent witness. | 2 "You shall not follow the masses in doing evil, nor shall you testify in a dispute so as to turn aside after a multitude in order to pervert justice; | 2 Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil; neither shalt thou speak in a cause to decline after many to wrest judgment: | 2 Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil; neither shalt thou speak in a cause to turn aside after a multitude to wrest justice : | 2 Thou shalt not follow the multitude to do evil: neither shalt thou yield in judgment, to the opinion of the most part, to stray from the truth. | 2 Thou art not after many to evil, nor dost thou testify concerning a strife, to turn aside after many to cause others to turn aside; | 3 nor shall you be partial to a poor man in his dispute. | 3 Neither shalt thou countenance a poor man in his cause. | 3 neither shalt thou favor a poor man in his cause. | 3 Neither shalt thou favour a poor man in judgment. | 3 and a poor man thou dost not honour in his strife. | 4 "If you meet your enemy's ox or his donkey wandering away, you shall surely return it to him. | 4 If thou meet thine enemy's ox or his ass going astray, thou shalt surely bring it back to him again. | 4 If thou meet thine enemy's ox or his ass going astray, thou shalt surely bring it back to him again. | 4 If thou meet thy enemy's ox or ass going astray, bring it back to him. | 4 'When thou meetest thine enemy's ox or his ass going astray, thou dost certainly turn it back to him; | 5 "If you see the donkey of one who hates you lying helpless under its load, you shall refrain from leaving it to him, you shall surely release it with him. | 5 If thou see the ass of him that hateth thee lying under his burden, and wouldest forbear to help him, thou shalt surely help with him. | 5 If thou see the ass of him that hateth thee lying under his burden, thou shalt forbear to leave him, thou shalt surely release it with him. | 5 If thou see the ass of him that hateth thee lie underneath his burden, thou shalt not pass by, but shalt lift him up with him. | 5 when thou seest the ass of him who is hating thee crouching under its burden, then thou hast ceased from leaving it to it -- thou dost certainly leave it with him. | NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 6 "You shall not pervert the justice due to your needy brother in his dispute. | 6 Thou shalt not wrest the judgment of thy poor in his cause. | 6 Thou shalt not wrest the justice due to thy poor in his cause. | 6 Thou shalt not go aside in the poor man's judgment. | 6 'Thou dost not turn aside the judgment of thy needy one in his strife; | 7 "Keep far from a false charge, and do not kill the innocent or the righteous, for I will not acquit the guilty. | 7 Keep thee far from a false matter; and the innocent and righteous slay thou not: for I will not justify the wicked. | 7 Keep thee far from a false matter; and the innocent and righteous slay thou not: for I will not justify the wicked. | 7 Thou shalt fly lying. The innocent and just person thou shalt not put to death: because I abhor the wicked. | 7 from a false matter thou dost keep far off, and an innocent and righteous man thou dost not slay; for I do not justify a wicked man. | 8 "You shall not take a bribe, for a bribe blinds the clear-sighted and subverts the cause of the just. | 8 And thou shalt take no gift: for the gift blindeth the wise, and perverteth the words of the righteous. | 8 And thou shalt take no bribe: for a bribe blindeth them that have sight, and perverteth the words of the righteous. | 8 Neither shalt thou take bribes, which even blind the wise, and pervert the words of the just. | 8 And a bribe thou dost not take; for the bribe bindeth the open -eyed, and perverteth the words of the righteous. | 9 "You shall not oppress a stranger, since you yourselves know the feelings of a stranger, for you also were strangers in the land of Egypt. | 9 Also thou shalt not oppress a stranger: for ye know the heart of a stranger, seeing ye were strangers in the land of Egypt. | 9 And a sojourner shalt thou not oppress: for ye know the heart of a sojourner, seeing ye were sojourners in the land of Egypt. | 9 Thou shalt not molest a stranger, for you know the hearts of strangers: for you also were strangers in the land of Egypt. | 9 'And a sojourner thou dost not oppress, and ye -- ye have known the soul of the sojourner, for sojourners ye have been in the land of Egypt. | The Sabbath and Land |
| 10 "You shall sow your land for six years and gather in its yield, | 10 And six years thou shalt sow thy land, and shalt gather in the fruits thereof: | 10 And six years thou shalt sow thy land, and shalt gather in the increase thereof: | 10 Six years thou shalt sow thy ground, and shalt gather the corn thereof. | 10 'And six years thou dost sow thy land, and hast gathered its increase; | NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 11 but on the seventh year you shall let it rest and lie fallow, so that the needy of your people may eat; and whatever they leave the beast of the field may eat. You are to do the same with your vineyard and your olive grove. | 11 But 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. | 11 but the seventh year thou shalt let it rest and lie fallow; that the poor of thy people may eat: and what they leave the beast of the field shall eat. In like manner thou shalt deal with thy vineyard, and with thy oliveyard. | 11 But the seventh year thou shalt let it alone, and suffer it to rest, that the poor of thy people may eat, and whatsoever shall be left, let the beasts of the field eat it: so shalt thou do with thy vineyard and thy oliveyard. | 11 and the seventh thou dost release it, and hast left it, and the needy of thy people have eaten, and their leaving doth the beast of the field eat; so dost thou to thy vineyard -- to thine olive-yard. | 12 "Six days you are to do your work, but on the seventh day you shall cease from labor so that your ox and your donkey may rest, and the son of your female slave, as well as your stranger, may refresh themselves. | 12 Six 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. | 12 Six days thou shalt do thy work, and on the seventh day thou shalt rest; that thine ox and thine ass may have rest, and the son of thy handmaid, and the sojourner, may be refreshed. | 12 Six days thou shalt work: the seventh day thou shalt cease, that thy ox and thy ass may rest: and the son of thy handmaid and the stranger may be refreshed. | 12 'Six days thou dost do thy work, and on the seventh day thou dost rest, so that thine ox and thine ass doth rest, and the son of thine handmaid and the sojourner is refreshed; | 13 "Now concerning everything which I have said to you, be on your guard; and do not mention the name of other gods, nor let them be heard from your mouth. | 13 And in all things that I have said unto you be circumspect: and make no mention of the name of other gods, neither let it be heard out of thy mouth. | 13 And in all things that I have said unto you take ye heed: and make no mention of the name of other gods, neither let it be heard out of thy mouth. | 13 Keep all things that I have said to you. And by the name of strange gods you shall not swear, neither shall it be heard out of your mouth. | 13 and in all that which I have said unto you ye do take heed; and the name of other gods ye do not mention; it is not heard on thy mouth. | Three National Feasts |
| 14 "Three times a year you shall celebrate a feast to Me. | 14 Three times thou shalt keep a feast unto me in the year. | 14 Three times thou shalt keep a feast unto me in the year. | 14 Three times every year you shall celebrate feasts to me. | 14 'Three times thou dost keep a feast to Me in a year; | 15 "You shall observe the Feast of Unleavened Bread; for seven days you are to eat unleavened bread, as I commanded you, at the appointed time in the month Abib, for in it you came out of Egypt. And none shall appear before Me empty-handed. | 15 Thou 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:) | 15 The feast of unleavened bread shalt thou keep: seven days thou shalt eat unleavened bread, as I commanded thee, at the time appointed in the month Abib (for in it thou camest out from Egypt); and none shall appear before me empty: | 15 Thou shalt keep the feast of unleavened bread. Seven days shalt thou eat unleavened bread, as I commanded thee, in the time of the month of new corn, when thou didst come forth out of Egypt: thou shalt not appear empty before me. | 15 the Feast of Unleavened things thou dost keep; seven days thou dost eat unleavened things, as I have commanded thee, at the time appointed in the month of Abib; for in it thou hast come forth out of Egypt, and ye do not appear in My presence empty; | NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 16 "Also you shall observe the Feast of the Harvest of the first fruits of your labors from what you sow in the field; also the Feast of the Ingathering at the end of the year when you gather in the fruit of your labors from the field. | 16 And the feast of harvest, the firstfruits of thy labors, 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 labors out of the field. | 16 and the feast of harvest, the first-fruits of thy labors, which thou sowest in the field: and the feast of ingathering, at the end of the year, when thou gatherest in thy labors out of the field. | 16 And the feast of the harvest of the firstfruits of thy work, whatsoever thou hast sown in the field.
