Exodus 23:1-9

Laws of Ethical Justice and Integrity

Exodus 23:1-9
1
“You shall not spread a false report. Do not join the wicked by being a malicious witness.
2
You shall not follow the crowd in wrongdoing. When you testify in a lawsuit, do not pervert justice by siding with the crowd.
3
And do not show favoritism to a poor man in his lawsuit.
4
If you encounter your enemy’s stray ox or donkey, you must return it to him.
5
If you see the donkey of one who hates you fallen under its load, do not leave it there; you must help him with it.
6
You shall not deny justice to the poor in their lawsuits.
7
Stay far away from a false accusation. Do not kill the innocent or the just, for I will not acquit the guilty.
8
Do not accept a bribe, for a bribe blinds those who see and twists the words of the righteous.
9
Do not oppress a foreign resident, since you yourselves know how it feels to be foreigners; for you were foreigners in the land of Egypt.
