Sundry Laws

Exo 23:7

Exo 23:7Keep thee far from a false matter; and the innocent and righteous slay thou not: for I will not justify the wicked.

Exo 23:10And six years thou shalt sow thy land, and shalt gather in the fruits thereof:

Exo 23:11

Exo 23:12

Exo 23:12Six days thou shalt do thy work, and on the seventh day thou shalt rest: that thy ox and thy ass may rest, and the son of thy handmaid, and the stranger, may be refreshed.

Exo 23:16

Exo 23:16And the feast of harvest, the first-fruits of thy labors, which thou hast sown in the field: and the feast of in-gathering, which is in the end of the year, when thou hast gathered in thy labors out of the field.

Exo 23:17

Exo 23:17Three times in the year all thy males shall appear before the Lord GOD.

Conquest of the Land

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
