The Koine Bible

You shall not receive a vain report; you shall not consent to become an unjust witness with the unjust.

You shall not be with the many for evil; you shall not join with a multitude to turn aside with the many so as to turn aside judgment.

And you shall not show favor to a poor man in judgment.

And if you meet your enemy’s ox or his donkey wandering, turning back you shall return it to him

And if you see the donkey of your enemy fallen under its load, you shall not pass by it, but you shall help raise it with him

You shall not pervert the justice of the poor in his judgment.

Keep far from every unrighteous matter, and you shall not kill the innocent and the righteous, and you shall not justify the ungodly because of gifts.

And you shall not take gifts, for gifts blind the eyes of those who see and pervert righteous words.

And you shall not oppress a sojourner, for you yourselves know the soul of the sojourner, for you yourselves were sojourners in the land of Egypt.

Six years you shall sow your land and gather in its produce.

But in the seventh you shall make a release and let it rest, and the poor of your nation shall eat it, and what is left the wild beasts shall eat; so you shall do to your vineyard and to your olive grove.

Six days you shall do your works, but on the seventh day there is rest, so that your ox and your beast of burden may rest, and so that the son of your maidservant and the sojourner may be refreshed.

All things that I have said to you, keep, and you shall not remember the name of other gods, nor shall it at all be heard from your mouth.

Three times of the year you shall keep a feast to me.

Keep the feast of unleavened bread; seven days you shall eat unleavened bread, as I commanded you, at the appointed time of the month of new things, for in it you came out from Egypt; you shall not appear before me empty.

And a feast of harvest of firstfruits of your works, which you may sow in your field, and a feast of completion at the going out of the year, at the gathering together of your works from your field.

Three times in the year every male of yours shall appear before the Lord your God

For when I cast out nations from before you and broaden your borders, you shall not sacrifice the blood of my sacrifice on leaven, nor shall the fat of my feast remain asleep until morning

The firstfruits of the firstproduce of your land you shall bring into the house of the Lord your God; you shall not boil a lamb in its mother’s milk

And behold, I am sending my angel before your face, so that he may guard you on the way, so that he may bring you into the land which I have prepared for you.

Take heed to yourself and listen to him and do not disobey him, for he will by no means spare you, for my name is upon him

If you listen closely to my voice and do all that I may command you and keep my covenant, you shall be for me a special people from among all the nations, for all the earth is mine; but you shall be for me a royal priesthood and a holy nation. These words you shall speak to the sons of Israel: if you listen closely to my voice and do all that I may say to you, I will be hostile to your enemies and I will oppose those who oppose you.

For my angel will go before you and will bring you in to the Amorrite and Hittite and Perizzite and Canaanite and Gergesite and Evite and Jebusite, and I will wipe them out

You shall not bow down to their gods, nor shall you by any means serve them; you shall not do according to their works, but in tearing down you shall tear down and in smashing you shall smash their pillars.

And you shall serve the Lord your God, and I will bless your bread and your wine and your water, and I will turn away sickness from among you.

There shall not be barren or sterile in the land of your days; I will fill up the number of your days.

And I will send my fear before you and I will confound all the nations into which you are going, and I will make all those who oppose you fugitives

And I will send hornets before you, and they will drive out the Amorites and the Hivites and the Canaanites and the Hittites from you.

I will not drive them out in one year, lest the land become desolate and the wild beasts of the land become many against you.

Little by little I will drive them out from before you, until you increase and inherit the land

And I will set your borders from the Red Sea as far as the Sea of the Philistines, and from the wilderness as far as the great river Euphrates; and I will give into your hands the ones dwelling in the land, and I will drive them out from before you.

You shall not make a covenant with them and with their gods.

And they shall not settle in your land, lest they make you sin against me; for if you serve their gods, these will be a stumbling block to you.
