false testimonie for a wicked person.

passe by, but shalt lift him vp with the same.
6. Thou shalt not decline the poore mans iudgement.

because I abhorre the impious man.
8. Neither shalt thou take bribes, which doe blind also the wise, and peruert the wordes

11. But the seuenth yeare thou shalt let it alone, and make it to rest, that the poore

shalt thou doe in thy vineyard and thy oliuete.
12. Six dayes thou shalt worke: the seuenth day thou shalt cease, that thy oxe may rest
and thine asse: and the sonne of thy handmaide may be refreshed, and the stranger.

Ægypt: thou shalt not appeare in my sight emptie.
16. And the solemnitie of the haruest of the first fruites of thy worke,

enemies, & wil afflict them that afflict thee.
23. And myne Angel shal goe before thee, and shal bring thee in vnto the Amorrheite, and
Hetheite, and Pherezeite, and Chananeite, and Heueite, and Iebuzeite, whom I wil destroy.
24. Thou shalt not adore their goddes, nor serue them. Thou shalt not doe their workes,

28. sending forth hornets before, that shal chase away the Herueite, and Chananeite, and
Hetheite, before thou enter.
29. I wil not cast them out from thy face in one yeare: lest the land be brought into a
wildernesse, and beastes encrease against thee.
30. By litle and litle I wil expel them from thy sight, til thou be increased, and dost
possesse the Land.
31. And I wil sette thy boundes from the Redde sea vnto the sea of the Palestines, and
from the desert vnto the riuer: I wil deliuer the inhabitantes of the Land in your handes, and
wil cast them out from your sight.
32. Thou shalt not enter league with them, nor with their goddes.
33. Let them not dwel in thy land, lest perhapes they make thee to sinne against me, if
thou serue their goddest: which vndoubtedly wil be a scandal to thee.
