## Exodus 23:10-12 in Context (Verses 7–15 KJV)
 
 [7 ](/kjv/exodus/23/7) Keep thee far from a false matter; and the innocent and righteous slay thou not: for I will not justify the wicked.
 
 [8 ](/kjv/exodus/23/8) ¶ And thou shalt take no gift: for the gift blindeth the wise, and perverteth the words of the righteous.*
 
 [9 ](/kjv/exodus/23/9) ¶ Also thou shalt not oppress a stranger: for ye know the heart of a stranger, seeing ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.*
 
 [10 ](/kjv/exodus/23/10) And six years thou shalt sow thy land, and shalt gather in the fruits thereof:
 
 [11 ](/kjv/exodus/23/11) But 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.*
 
 [12 ](/kjv/exodus/23/12) Six 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.
 
 [13 ](/kjv/exodus/23/13) And 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.
 
 [14 ](/kjv/exodus/23/14) ¶ Three times thou shalt keep a feast unto me in the year.
 
 [15 ](/kjv/exodus/23/15) Thou 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:)
