Exodus 23

Gen Z: Exodus 23

1No cap, don’t be spreading fake tea; don’t vibe with the wicked to be a sus witness.

2Don’t just follow the crowd to do bad stuff; keep it 100 and don’t switch up for the many to mess with justice.

3Don’t play favorites with the poor; keep it real.

4If you see your enemy’s ox or donkey lost, you better return it, fam.

5If you spot your hater’s donkey struggling, don’t just ghost them, help out for real.

6Don’t twist the judgment for the poor; that’s just savage.

7Stay away from fake drama; don’t mess with the innocent, ‘cause I ain’t justifying the wicked, periodt.

8Don’t accept gifts; they mess with your head and twist up the truth.

9Don’t be harsh on strangers; remember, you were once in their shoes.

10For six years, plant your land and gather the harvest, that’s the grind.

11For the seventh year, just let it chill and do its thing; the poor fam can munch on it, and whatever's left is for the animals. Same goes for your vines and olive trees, fr.

12Six days you're grinding, but on the seventh, you gotta rest up: let your ox and donkey chill, and even the homies and strangers can catch a break.

13Keep it 100 with everything I told you: don’t even say the names of other gods, that’s sus.

14You gotta throw a feast for me three times a year, no cap.

15Celebrate the feast of unleavened bread: munch on that for seven days like I told ya during Abib, 'cause that's when you bounced from Egypt. Don’t roll up empty-handed.

16Also, celebrate the harvest feast for the first fruits of your grind, and the ingathering feast at the year's end when you’ve collected all your work.

17Three times a year, all your guys need to show up before the Lord God, periodt.

18Don’t mix my sacrifice's blood with leavened bread; also, don’t let the fat chill until morning.

19Bring the first of your first fruits to the Lord’s crib. And don’t cook a kid in its mom's milk, that's just wrong.

20Yo, I’m sending an Angel ahead of you to guide you and take you to the spot I’ve set up.

21Watch out for him, and vibe with his voice, don’t make him mad; he ain't gonna forgive your mess-ups: my name's in him, no cap.

22But if you really vibe with his voice and do what I say; then I’ll be a savage against your haters, and a boss against your foes.

23My Angel's gonna lead you, and take you to the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Canaanites, Hivites, and Jebusites: I’ll handle them, periodt.

24Don’t bow to their gods, or serve them, or do their stuff: just straight-up take them down and smash their idols.

25You gotta serve the Lord your God, and he’ll bless your food and drink; I’ll keep sickness far away from you, fr.

26Nothing in your land will be barren or lose their young: I’ll make sure you live long, bet.

27I’ll send my fear ahead of you, and take out all the people you meet, making all your enemies back off.

28I’ll send hornets to drive out the Hivite, Canaanite, and Hittite from your path, no cap.

29I won’t kick them out all at once; otherwise, the land will go to waste, and wild animals will come for you.

30Little by little, I’ll clear them out for you, until you grow and take over the land.

31I'm setting your borders from the Red Sea to the Philistine coast, and from the desert to the river. I'm handing the land's peeps over to you, so you can kick them out, no cap.

32Don't be making any deals with them or their gods, fr.

33They can't vibe in your land, or they'll have you sinning against me. If you roll with their gods, it’s gonna be a whole trap, periodt.

KJV: Exodus 23

1Thou shalt not raise a false report: put not thine hand with the wicked to be an unrighteous witness.

2Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil; neither shalt thou speak in a cause to decline after many to wrest judgment:

3Neither shalt thou countenance a poor man in his cause.

4If thou meet thine enemy’s ox or his ass going astray, thou shalt surely bring it back to him again.

5If thou see the ass of him that hateth thee lying under his burden, and wouldest forbear to help him, thou shalt surely help with him.

6Thou shalt not wrest the judgment of thy poor in his cause.

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

8And thou shalt take no gift: for the gift blindeth the wise, and perverteth the words of the righteous.

9Also thou shalt not oppress a stranger: for ye know the heart of a stranger, seeing ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.

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

11But the seventh year thou shalt let it rest and lie still; that the poor of thy people may eat: and what they leave the beasts of the field shall eat. In like manner thou shalt deal with thy vineyard, and with thy oliveyard.

12Six days thou shalt do thy work, and 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.

13And in all things that I have said unto you be circumspect: and make no mention of the name of other gods, neither let it be heard out of thy mouth.

14Three times thou shalt keep a feast unto me in the year.

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

16And the feast of harvest, the firstfruits of thy labours, which thou hast sown in the field: and the feast of ingathering, which is in the end of the year, when thou hast gathered in thy labours out of the field.

17Three times in the year all thy males shall appear before the Lord God.

18Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leavened bread; neither shall the fat of my sacrifice remain until the morning.

19The first of the firstfruits of thy land thou shalt bring into the house of the Lord thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother’s milk.

20Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared.

21Beware of him, and obey his voice, provoke him not; for he will not pardon your transgressions: for my name is in him.

22But if thou shalt indeed obey his voice, and do all that I speak; then I will be an enemy unto thine enemies, and an adversary unto thine adversaries.

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.

24Thou shalt not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor do after their works: but thou shalt utterly overthrow them, and quite break down their images.

25And ye shall serve the Lord your God, and he shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee.

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

27I will send my fear before thee, and will destroy all the people to whom thou shalt come, and I will make all thine enemies turn their backs unto thee.

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

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.

30By little and little I will drive them out from before thee, until thou be increased, and inherit the land.

31And I will set thy bounds from the Red sea even unto the sea of the Philistines, and from the desert unto the river: for I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand; and thou shalt drive them out before thee.

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

33They shall not dwell in thy land, lest they make thee sin against me: for if thou serve their gods, it will surely be a snare unto thee.
