1 Thou shalt not raise a false report: put not thine hand with the wicked to be an unrighteous witness.
2 ¶ Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil; neither shalt thou speak in a cause to decline after many to wrest judgment:
3 ¶ Neither shalt thou countenance a poor man in his cause.
4 ¶ If thou meet thine enemy’s ox or his ass going astray, thou shalt surely bring it back to him again. 5 If thou see the ass of him that hateth thee lying under his burden, and wouldest forbear to help him, thou shalt surely help with him. 6 Thou shalt not wrest the judgment of thy poor in his cause. 7 Keep thee far from a false matter; and the innocent and righteous slay thou not: for I will not justify the wicked.
8 ¶ And thou shalt take no gift: for the gift blindeth the wise, and perverteth the words of the righteous.
9 ¶ Also thou shalt not oppress a stranger: for ye know the heart of a stranger, seeing ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.
10 And six years thou shalt sow thy land, and shalt gather in the fruits thereof: 11 But the seventh year thou shalt let it rest and lie still; that the poor of thy people may eat: and what they leave the beasts of the field shall eat. In like manner thou shalt deal with thy vineyard, and with thy oliveyard. 12 Six days thou shalt do thy work, and on the seventh day thou shalt rest: that thine ox and thine ass may rest, and the son of thy handmaid, and the stranger, may be refreshed. 13 And in all things that I have said unto you be circumspect: and make no mention of the name of other gods, neither let it be heard out of thy mouth.
14 ¶ Three times thou shalt keep a feast unto me in the year. 15 Thou shalt keep the feast of unleavened bread: (thou shalt eat unleavened bread seven days, as I commanded thee, in the time appointed of the month Abib; for in it thou camest out from Egypt: and none shall appear before me empty:) 16 And the feast of harvest, the firstfruits of thy labours, which thou hast sown in the field: and the feast of ingathering, which is in the end of the year, when thou hast gathered in thy labours out of the field. 17 Three times in the year all thy males shall appear before the Lord GOD. 18 Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leavened bread; neither shall the fat of my sacrifice remain until the morning. 19 The first of the firstfruits of thy land thou shalt bring into the house of the LORD thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother’s milk.
20 ¶ Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared. 21 Beware of him, and obey his voice, provoke him not; for he will not pardon your transgressions: for my name is in him. 22 But if thou shalt indeed obey his voice, and do all that I speak; then I will be an enemy unto thine enemies, and an adversary unto thine adversaries. 23 For mine Angel shall go before thee, and bring thee in unto the Amorites, and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites: and I will cut them off. 24 Thou shalt not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor do after their works: but thou shalt utterly overthrow them, and quite break down their images. 25 And ye shall serve the LORD your God, and he shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee.
26 ¶ There shall nothing cast their young, nor be barren, in thy land: the number of thy days I will fulfil. 27 I will send my fear before thee, and will destroy all the people to whom thou shalt come, and I will make all thine enemies turn their backs unto thee. 28 And I will send hornets before thee, which shall drive out the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite, from before thee. 29 I will not drive them out from before thee in one year; lest the land become desolate, and the beast of the field multiply against thee. 30 By little and little I will drive them out from before thee, until thou be increased, and inherit the land. 31 And I will set thy bounds from the Red sea even unto the sea of the Philistines, and from the desert unto the river: for I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand; and thou shalt drive them out before thee. 32 Thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor with their gods. 33 They shall not dwell in thy land, lest they make thee sin against me: for if thou serve their gods, it will surely be a snare unto thee.

Adolatli hukm toʻgʻrisida qonun–qoidalar
1 Yolgʻon xabarlar tarqatmanglar. Yolgʻon guvohlik berish orqali fosiq odamlarga qoʻshilmanglar. 2 Koʻpchilik notoʻgʻri ish qilganda yoki adolatdan chetga chiqib guvohlik berganda, ularga ergashmanglar. 3 Kambagʻalni hukm qilayotganda ham, kambagʻal, deb uning tarafini olmang.
4 Agar dushmaningizning yoʻqolib qolgan hoʻkizini yoki eshagini topib olsangiz, egasiga olib borib bering. 5 Dushmaningizning eshagi yuk ogʻirligidan yiqilib qolsa, siz uni koʻrgan boʻlsangiz, dushmaningizni tashlab ketmang. Unga yordam bering.
6 Hukmda kambagʻalga qarshi adolatdan koʻz yummang. 7 Tuhmatchilardan uzoq turinglar, aybsiz, toʻgʻri odamni oʻlimga hukm qilmanglar. Men bunday ish qilgan aybdorlarni hukmda oqlamayman. 8 Pora olmanglar. Pora tufayli koʻzi ochiqlarning koʻzini yogʻ bosadi. Pora har doim toʻgʻri odamlarning ishiga zarar yetkazadi.
9 Musofirga zulm qilmanglar. Oʻzlaringiz Misrda musofir boʻlgan edingizlar, shu bois musofirning ahvolini bilasizlar.
Yettinchi yil va yettinchi kun toʻgʻrisida qonun–qoidalar
10 Olti yil dalangizga urugʻ sepib, hosilini yigʻishtirib oling. 11 Yettinchi yili esa yeringizni boʻsh qoldiring, dam bering. Xalqingiz orasidagi kambagʻallar yeringizdan oʻsib chiqadigan hosildan biron yegulik topib yesin. Ulardan qolganini esa dasht hayvonlari yesin. Uzumzoringizni va zaytunzoringizni ham shunday qilinglar.
12 Olti kun ish qilinglar, yettinchi kuni esa ishlamanglar, toki hoʻkizlaringiz, eshaklaringiz ham ishdan tinsin, qullaringiz, musofirlar ham orom olsin.
13 Men sizlarga bergan amrlarimga rioya qilinglar. Boshqa xudolarga iltijo qilmanglar. Ularning nomlarini hatto tilga ham olmanglar.
Yilda qilinadigan bayramlar toʻgʻrisida qonun–qoidalar
14 Menga atab yilda uch marta bayram qilinglar:
15 Abib oyining belgilangan vaqtida xamirturushsiz non bayramini nishonlanglar. Sizlar oʻsha oyda Misrdan chiqqansizlar. Men sizlarga amr etganimday , yetti kun xamirturushsiz non yenglar. Har kim Mening huzurimga munosib nazrlar olib kelishi lozim.
16 Bugʻdoy oʻrimini yigʻishtirishni boshlaganingizda, dalangizga ekkan urugʻning ilk hosilidan nazr qilinglar. Shu orqali Hosil bayramini nishonlanglar.
Kuzda daladagi hamma hosilingizni yigʻishtirib boʻlganingizda, Chayla bayramini nishonlanglar.
17 Hamma erkaklar har yili shu uchala bayramda Men, Egangiz Rabbiyning huzuriga kelib sajda qilsin.
18 Menga qilingan qurbonlikning qonini xamirturush qoʻshilgan non bilan birga nazr qilmanglar. Qilingan qurbonlikning yogʻini ertalabga qoldirmay kuydiringlar.
19 Yeringizdan olgan ilk hosilning eng yaxshisini Men, Egangiz Xudoning uyiga olib kelinglar.
Uloqchani onasining sutida qaynatmanglar .
Vaʼda va ogohlantirishlar
20 Sizlarni yoʻlda muhofaza etsin, sizlarni Men tayyorlagan yerga olib borsin deb, oldingizda farishtani yuboryapman. 21 Mening nomimdan keladigan qudratu hokimiyat unga berilgan. Shuning uchun unga oʻjarlik qilmanglar, aks holda, u oʻjarligingizni kechirmaydi. 22 Agar farishtamning aytganlariga diqqat bilan quloq solsangiz, Mening amrlarimga itoat etsangiz, dushmanlaringizga dushman, raqibingizga raqib boʻlaman. 23 Farishtam oldingizda borib, sizlarni Amor, Xet, Pariz, Kanʼon, Xiv va Yobus xalqlarining yerlariga boshlab boradi. Men oʻsha xalqlarni yoʻq qilaman. 24 Ularning xudolariga sajda qilmanglar, xizmat qilmanglar. Bu xalqlarning odatlariga taqlid qilmanglar. Ularning xudolarini yoʻq qilinglar, butsimon toshlarini sindirib tashlanglar. 25 Faqat Men, Egangiz Xudogagina xizmat qilinglar. Shunda Men osh–suvingizni barakali qilaman, orangizdan xastaliklarni yoʻq qilaman. 26 Yurtingizda homilasi tushib qolgan yoki befarzand ayol boʻlmaydi. Men umringizni uzoq qilaman.
27 Sizlarga qarshi boʻlgan xalqlarni Mendan qoʻrqadigan qilaman. Sizlarga qarshi jang qiladigan xalqlarni sarosimaga solaman. Dushmanlaringizning hammasini oldingizdan qochiraman. 28 Men Xiv, Kanʼon va Xet xalqlarini vahimaga solaman–da, oldingizdan quvib yuboraman . 29 Lekin Men bir yil ichidayoq ularni oldingizdan haydab yubormayman. Agar bir yilning ichida ularni haydasam, oʻsha yurt boʻm–boʻsh boʻlib qoladi, dasht hayvonlari koʻpayib, sizga xavf soladi. 30 Shuning uchun sizlar koʻpayib, oʻsha yurtni butunlay egallab olmaguningizcha, u yerning xalqlarini oz–ozdan oldingizdan haydayman. 31 Chegaralaringizni Qizil dengizdan Oʻrta yer dengizigacha , sahrodan Furot daryosigacha kengaytiraman. Shu yurtning xalqlarini qoʻllaringizga beraman. Sizlar ularni oldingizdan quvasizlar. 32 Ularning oʻzlari bilan ham, xudolari bilan ham ahd qilmanglar. 33 U xalqlar sizning yurtingizda yashamasin. Boʻlmasa ular sizni oʻzlarining xudolariga sajda qildirib, Menga qarshi gunohga boshlaydi. Bu yoʻl bilan sizlarni tuzogʻiga ilintirib oladi.”
