Laws of Ethical Justice and Integrity

Exodus 23:1-9

Thou shalt not receiue a false tale, neyther shalt thou put thine hande with the wicked, to be a false witnes.

Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do euil, neither agree in a controuersie to decline after many and ouerthrowe the trueth.

Thou shalt not esteeme a poore man in his cause.

If thou meete thine enemies oxe, or his asse going astray, thou shalt bring him to him againe.

If thou see thine enemies asse lying vnder his burden, wilt thou cease to helpe him? thou shalt helpe him vp againe with it.

Thou shalt not ouerthrowe the right of thy poore in his sute.

Thou shalt keepe thee farre from a false matter, and shalt not slaye the innocent and the righteous: for I will not iustifie a wicked man.

Thou shalt take no gift: for the gift blindeth the wise, and peruerteth the wordes of the righteous.

Thou shalt not oppresse a stranger: for ye knowe the heart of a stranger, seeing yee were strangers in the land of Egypt.
