Exodus 23:8-11

The Message

⁸ “Don’t take bribes. Bribes blind perfectly good eyes and twist the speech of good people.

⁹ “Don’t take advantage of a stranger. You know what it’s like to be a stranger; you were strangers in Egypt.

^10-11 “Sow your land for six years and gather in its crops, but in the seventh year leave it alone and give it a rest so that your poor may eat from it. What they leave, let the wildlife have. Do the same with your vineyards and olive groves.
