Exodus 23 :: Darby Translation (DBY)

Sundry Laws

Exo 23:1Thou shalt not accept a false report; extend not thy hand to the wicked, to be an unrighteous witness.

Exo 23:2Thou shalt not follow the multitude for evil; neither shalt thou answer in a cause, to go after the multitude to pervert judgment.

Exo 23:3

Exo 23:3Neither shalt thou favour a poor man in his cause.

Exo 23:4

Exo 23:4-- If thou meet thine enemy's ox or his ass going astray, thou shalt certainly bring it back to him.

Exo 23:5

Exo 23:5If thou see the ass of him that hateth thee lying under its burden, beware of leaving it to him: thou shalt certainly loosen it with him.

Exo 23:6

Exo 23:6Thou shalt not pervert the judgment of thy poor in his cause.

Exo 23:7

Exo 23:7Thou shalt keep far from the cause of falsehood; and the innocent and righteous slay not; for I will not justify the wicked.

Exo 23:8

Exo 23:8And thou shalt take no bribe; for the bribe blindeth those whose eyes are open, and perverteth the words of the righteous.

Exo 23:9

Exo 23:9And the stranger thou shalt not oppress; for ye know the spirit of the stranger, for ye have been strangers in the land of Egypt.

The Sabbath and Land

Exo 23:10

Exo 23:10And six years thou shalt sow thy land, and gather in its produce;

Exo 23:11

Exo 23:11but in the seventh thou shalt let it rest and lie fallow, that the poor of thy people may eat of it; and what they leave, the beasts of the field shall eat. In like manner thou shalt deal with thy vineyard, and with thine olive-tree.

Exo 23:12

Exo 23:12-- Six days thou shalt do thy work, but 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.

Exo 23:13

Exo 23:13And ye shall be on your guard as to everything that I have said unto you; and shall make no mention of the name of other gods -- it shall not be heard in thy mouth.

Three National Feasts

(Exo 34:18–26; Deu 16:1–17 )

Exo 23:14

Exo 23:14Thrice in the year thou shalt celebrate a feast to me.

Exo 23:15

Exo 23:15Thou shalt keep the feast of unleavened bread, (thou shalt eat unleavened bread seven days, as I have commanded thee, in the time appointed of the month Abib; for in it thou camest out from Egypt; and none shall appear in my presence empty;)

Exo 23:16

Exo 23:16and the feast of harvest, the first-fruits of thy labours which thou hast sown in the field, and the feast of in-gathering, at the end of the year, when thou gatherest in thy labours out of the field.

Exo 23:17

Exo 23:17Three times in the year all thy males shall appear in the presence of the Lord Jehovah.

Exo 23:18

Exo 23:18Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leavened bread; neither shall the fat of my feast remain all night until the morning.

Exo 23:19

Exo 23:19The first of the first-fruits of thy land thou shalt bring into the house of Jehovah thy God. Thou shalt not boil a kid in its mother's milk.

Conquest of the Land

Exo 23:20

Exo 23:20Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee to the place that I have prepared.

Exo 23:21

Exo 23:21Be careful in his presence, and hearken unto his voice: do not provoke him, for he will not forgive your transgressions; for my name is in him.

Exo 23:22

Exo 23:22But if thou shalt diligently hearken unto his voice, and do all that I shall say, then I will be an enemy to thine enemies, and an adversary to thine adversaries.

Exo 23:23

Exo 23:23For 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.

Exo 23:24

Exo 23:24Thou shalt not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor do after their deeds; but thou shalt utterly destroy them, and utterly shatter their statues.

Exo 23:25

Exo 23:25And ye shall serve Jehovah your God; and he shall bless thy bread and thy water; and I will take sickness away from thy midst.

Exo 23:26

Exo 23:26There shall nothing cast their young, nor be barren, in thy land; the number of thy days will I fulfil.

Exo 23:27

Exo 23:27I will send my fear before thee, and confound every people to which thou comest, and will make all thine enemies turn their back to thee.

Exo 23:28

Exo 23:28And I will send hornets before thee, which shall drive out the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite, from before thee.

Exo 23:29

Exo 23:29I 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.

Exo 23:30

Exo 23:30By little and little I will drive them out from before thee, until thou art fruitful, and possess the land.

Exo 23:31

Exo 23:31And I will set thy bounds from the Red Sea even unto the sea of the Philistines, and from the wilderness unto the river; for I will give the inhabitants of the land into your hand, that thou mayest dispossess them from before thee.

Exo 23:32

Exo 23:32Thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor with their gods.

Exo 23:33

Exo 23:33They shall not dwell in thy land, lest they make thee sin against me; for if thou serve their gods, it is sure to be a snare unto thee.

In 1867, John Nelson Darby translated the New Testament from Greek into English. Further revisions were done in 1872 and 1884. Darby’s work was first published as The Holy Scriptures: A New Translation from the Original Languages by J. N. Darby. After Darby’s death in 1882, some of his students worked together to produce the complete Darby Bible based on the Masoretic Hebrew text, Darby’s German (Elberfelder), and the French (Pau) translations. In 1890, the first complete Darby Bible was published in English. This translation of the Bible is in the public domain.
