Exodus 24

  • 24:1 And he said to Moses, Come up to the LORD, you, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel; and worship you afar off.
  • 24:2 And Moses alone shall come near the LORD: but they shall not come near; neither shall the people go up with him.
  • 24:3 And Moses came and told the people all the words of the LORD, and all the judgments: and all the people answered with one voice, and said, All the words which the LORD has said will we do.
  • 24:4 And Moses wrote all the words of the LORD, and rose up early in the morning, and built an altar under the hill, and twelve pillars, according to the twelve tribes of Israel.
  • 24:5 And he sent young men of the children of Israel, which offered burnt offerings, and sacrificed peace offerings of oxen to the LORD.
  • 24:6 And Moses took half of the blood, and put it in basins; and half of the blood he sprinkled on the altar.
  • 24:7 And he took the book of the covenant, and read in the audience of the people: and they said, All that the LORD has said will we do, and be obedient.
  • 24:8 And Moses took the blood, and sprinkled it on the people, and said, Behold the blood of the covenant, which the LORD has made with you concerning all these words.
  • 24:9 Then went up Moses, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel:
  • 24:10 And they saw the God of Israel: and there was under his feet as it were a paved work of a sapphire stone, and as it were the body of heaven in his clearness.
  • 24:11 And on the nobles of the children of Israel he laid not his hand: also they saw God, and did eat and drink.
  • 24:12 And the LORD said to Moses, Come up to me into the mount, and be there: and I will give you tables of stone, and a law, and commandments which I have written; that you may teach them.
  • 24:13 And Moses rose up, and his minister Joshua: and Moses went up into the mount of God.
  • 24:14 And he said to the elders, Tarry you here for us, until we come again to you: and, behold, Aaron and Hur are with you: if any man have any matters to do, let him come to them.
  • 24:15 And Moses went up into the mount, and a cloud covered the mount.
  • 24:16 And the glory of the LORD stayed on mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it six days: and the seventh day he called to Moses out of the middle of the cloud.
  • 24:17 And the sight of the glory of the LORD was like devouring fire on the top of the mount in the eyes of the children of Israel.
  • 24:18 And Moses went into the middle of the cloud, and got him up into the mount: and Moses was in the mount forty days and forty nights.

Exodus 23

  • 23:1 You shall not raise a false report: put not your hand with the wicked to be an unrighteous witness.
  • 23:2 You shall not follow a multitude to do evil; neither shall you speak in a cause to decline after many to wrest judgment:
  • 23:3 Neither shall you countenance a poor man in his cause.
  • 23:4 If you meet your enemy’s ox or his ass going astray, you shall surely bring it back to him again.

  • 23:7 Keep you far from a false matter; and the innocent and righteous slay you not: for I will not justify the wicked.
  • 23:8 And you shall take no gift: for the gift blinds the wise, and perverts the words of the righteous.
  • 23:9 Also you shall not oppress a stranger: for you know the heart of a stranger, seeing you were strangers in the land of Egypt.
  • 23:10 And six years you shall sow your land, and shall gather in the fruits thereof:
  • 23:11 But the seventh year you shall let it rest and lie still; that the poor of your people may eat: and what they leave the beasts of the field shall eat. In like manner you shall deal with your vineyard, and with your olive grove.
  • 23:12 Six days you shall do your work, and on the seventh day you shall rest: that your ox and your ass may rest, and the son of your handmaid, and the stranger, may be refreshed.

  • 23:14 Three times you shall keep a feast to me in the year.
  • 23:15 You shall keep the feast of unleavened bread: (you shall eat unleavened bread seven days, as I commanded you, in the time appointed of the month Abib; for in it you came out from Egypt: and none shall appear before me empty:)
  • 23:16 And the feast of harvest, the first fruits of your labors, which you have sown in the field: and the feast of ingathering, which is in the end of the year, when you have gathered in your labors out of the field.
  • 23:17 Three items in the year all your males shall appear before the LORD God.
  • 23:18 You shall not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leavened bread; neither shall the fat of my sacrifice remain until the morning.
  • 23:19 The first of the first fruits of your land you shall bring into the house of the LORD your God. You shall not seethe a kid in his mother’s milk.
  • 23:20 Behold, I send an Angel before you, to keep you in the way, and to bring you into the place which I have prepared.
  • 23:21 Beware of him, and obey his voice, provoke him not; for he will not pardon your transgressions: for my name is in him.
  • 23:22 But if you shall indeed obey his voice, and do all that I speak; then I will be an enemy to your enemies, and an adversary to your adversaries.
  • 23:23 For my Angel shall go before you, and bring you in to the Amorites, and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites: and I will cut them off.
  • 23:24 You shall not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor do after their works: but you shall utterly overthrow them, and quite break down their images.
  • 23:25 And you shall serve the LORD your God, and he shall bless your bread, and your water; and I will take sickness away from the middle of you.
  • 23:26 There shall nothing cast their young, nor be barren, in your land: the number of your days I will fulfill.
  • 23:27 I will send my fear before you, and will destroy all the people to whom you shall come, and I will make all your enemies turn their backs to you.
  • 23:28 And I will send hornets before you, which shall drive out the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite, from before you.
  • 23:29 I will not drive them out from before you in one year; lest the land become desolate, and the beast of the field multiply against you.
  • 23:30 By little and little I will drive them out from before you, until you be increased, and inherit the land.
  • 23:31 And I will set your bounds from the Red sea even to the sea of the Philistines, and from the desert to the river: for I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand; and you shall drive them out before you.
  • 23:32 You shall make no covenant with them, nor with their gods.
  • 23:33 They shall not dwell in your land, lest they make you sin against me: for if you serve their gods, it will surely be a snare to you.

  • 21:7 And if a man sell his daughter to be a maidservant, she shall not go out as the menservants do.

  • 21:19 If he rise again, and walk abroad on his staff, then shall he that smote him be quit: only he shall pay for the loss of his time, and shall cause him to be thoroughly healed.
  • 21:20 And if a man smite his servant, or his maid, with a rod, and he die under his hand; he shall be surely punished.

  • 21:32 If the ox shall push a manservant or a maidservant; he shall give to their master thirty shekels of silver, and the ox shall be stoned.
  • 21:33 And if a man shall open a pit, or if a man shall dig a pit, and not cover it, and an ox or an ass fall therein;
  • 21:34 The owner of the pit shall make it good, and give money to the owner of them; and the dead beast shall be his.
