Exodus 23:1

Verse 1 of 33. The 23rd of 40 chapters in Exodus, in The Law.

1“You shall not spread a false report. Don’t join your hand with the wicked to be a malicious witness.

2“You shall not follow a crowd to do evil. You shall not testify in court to side with a multitude to pervert justice.

3You shall not favor a poor man in his cause.

4“If you meet your enemy’s ox or his donkey going astray, you shall surely bring it back to him again.

5If you see the donkey of him who hates you fallen down under his burden, don’t leave him. You shall surely help him with it.
