Laws of Ethical Justice and Integrity
Exodus 23:1-9
1
Thou shalt not receive the voice of a lie: neither shalt thou join thy hand to bear false witness for a wicked person.
2
Thou shalt not follow the multitude to do evil: neither shalt thou yield in judgment, to the opinion of the most part, to stray from the truth.
3
Neither shalt thou favour a poor man in judgment.
4
If thou meet thy enemy's ox or ass going astray, bring it back to him.
5
If thou see the ass of him that hateth thee lie underneath his burden, thou shalt not pass by, but shalt lift him up with him.
6
Thou shalt not go aside in the poor man's judgment.
7
Thou shalt fly lying. The innocent and just person thou shalt not put to death: because I abhor the wicked.
8
Neither shalt thou take bribes, which even blind the wise, and pervert the words of the just.
9
Thou shalt not molest a stranger, for you know the hearts of strangers: for you also were strangers in the land of Egypt.
