25) If thou lend money to any of my people with thee that is poor, thou shalt not be to him as la creditor; neither 'shall yeꞌ lay upon him usury. 26 If thou at all take thy neighbour's Igarment to pledge, thou shalt restore it unto him by that the sun 27) goeth down: °for that is his only covering, it is his 'garment' for his skin: wherein shall he sleep? and it shall come to pass, when he crieth unto me, that I will hear; for I am gracious.

If thou meet thine enemy's ox or his ass going astray, thou shalt surely *5 bring it back to him again. 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.

Thou shalt not wrest the judgement 7 of thy poor in his cause. 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 'a' gift blindeth them that have sight', and perverteth the words of the 9) righteous. And a stranger shalt thou not oppress: 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 'increase! 11 thereof: but the seventh year thou shalt let it rest and lie 'fallow'; that the poor of thy people may eat and what they leave the beast' of the field shall eat. In like manner thou shalt deal with thy vineyard, and with 12 thy oliveyard. Six days thou shalt do thy work, and on the seventh day thou shalt 10rest: that thine ox and thine ass may have rest, and the son of thy handmaid, and the stranger, 13 may be refreshed. And in all things that I have said unto you take ye heed' and make no mention of the name of other gods, neither let it be heard out of thy mouth.

Three times thou shalt keep a feast 15) unto me in the year. The feast of unleavened bread shalt thou keep: seven days thou shalt eat unleavened bread, as I commanded thee, 'at' the time appointed in the month Abib (for in it thou camest out from Egypt); and none shall appear before me 16 empty and the feast of harvest, the firstfruits of thy labours, which thou Isowest in the field: and the feast of ingathering, 'at' the end of the year, when thou gatherest' in thy labours 17 out of the field.

Behold, I send an angel before thee, to keep thee by the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have 21 prepared. Take ye heed' of him, and hearken unto his voice; 1provoke him not: for he will not pardon your transgression; for my name is 22 in him. But if thou shalt indeed 'hearken unto his voice, and do all that I speak; then I will be an enemy unto thine enemies, and an adversary 23 unto thine adversaries. °For mine angel shall go before thee, and bring thee in unto the Amorite', and the 'Hittite', and the 'Perizzite', and the 'Canaanite', the 'Hivite, and the Jebusite!: 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 break 'in pieces! 25 their pillars'. 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 26 midst of thee. "There shall 'none' cast her young, nor be barren, in thy land: the number of thy days 27 I will fulfil. I will send my 'terror! before thee, and will discomfit' all the people to whom thou shalt come, and I will make all thine enemies turn 28 their backs unto thee. And I will

I will not drive them out from before thee in one year; lest the land become desolate, and the beast of the 30 field multiply against thee. By little and little I will drive them out from before thee, until thou be increased, 31 and inherit the land. And I will set thy border from the Red Sea even unto the sea of the Philistines, and from the 'wilderness unto the River: for I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand; and thou Ishalt drive them out before thee. 32 Thou shalt make no covenant with 33 them, nor with their gods. 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.

unto the LORD, thou, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel; and worship ye afar 2 off and Moses alone shall come near unto the LORD; but they shall not come 'near; neither shall the people 3 go up with him. And Moses came and told the people all the words of the LORD, and all the judgements: and all the people answered with one voice, and said, All the words which the LORD hath spoken' will we do. 4 And Moses wrote all the words of the LORD, and rose up early in the morning, and builded an altar under the mount', and twelve pillars, according to the twelve tribes of Israel. 5 And he sent young men of the children of Israel, which offered burnt offerings, and sacrificed peace offer6 ings of oxen unto the LORD. And

Moses took half of the blood, and put it in basons; and half of the blood he 7 sprinkled on the altar. And he took the book of the covenant, and read in the audience of the people: and they said, All that the LORD hath 'spoken! 8 will we do, and be obedient. And Moses took the blood, and sprinkled it on the people, and said, Behold the blood of the covenant, which the LORD hath made with you concerning all 9 these words.

And Moses rose up, and Joshua his minister and Moses went up into the 14 mount of God. "And he said unto the elders, Tarry ye here for us, until we come again unto you: and, behold, Aaron and Hur are with you: whosoever hath a cause', let him come 'near' 15 unto them. And Moses went up into the mount, and 'the' cloud covered the 16 mount. And the glory of the LORD abode upon mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it six days: and the seventh day he called unto Moses out 17 of the midst of the cloud. And the lappearance of the glory of the LORD was like devouring fire on the top of the mount in the eyes of the children 18 of Israel. And Moses lentered into the midst of the cloud, and went up into the mount: and Moses was in the mount forty days and forty nights. 251 And the LORD spake unto Moses, 2 saying, Speak unto the children of

Israel, that they take for me an 2offering of every man whose heart 'maketh him willing! ye shall take my 3 offering. And this is the offering which ye shall take of them; gold, and 4 silver, and brass; and blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and 5 goats' hair; and rams' skins dyed red, and sealskins', and 'acacia wood; 6 oil for the light, spices for the anointing oil, and for 'the' sweet in7 cense; onyx stones, and stones to be set, for the ephod, and for the 8 breastplate.

And thou shalt put the mercy-seat above upon the ark; and in the ark thou shalt put the testimony that I shall give thee. 22 And there I will meet with thee, and

I will commune with thee from above the mercy-seat, from between the two Icherubim which are upon the ark of the testimony, of all things which I will give thee in commandment unto the children of Israel.
