Exodus 23:7-8

⁷from a false matter thou dost keep far off, and an innocent and righteous man thou dost not slay; for I do not justify a wicked man.c

⁸'And a bribe thou dost not take; for the bribe bindeth the open -[eyed], and perverteth the words of the righteous.d

Exodus 23 continues the detailed exposition of the covenant law given at Mount Sinai, focusing on social justice, ethical conduct, and religious observances. It outlines specific statutes concerning fair treatment of the poor, foreigners, and even enemies, alongside laws about honest business practices and the proper administration of justice. The chapter also includes commands regarding the annual festivals and warnings against idolatry, concluding with God's promise of protection and blessing for Israel if they obey His voice and drive out the inhabitants of the land.
