Exodus 23:8 in Context — Exodus 23
6 Tu ne porteras point atteinte au droit du pauvre dans son procès.
7 Tu ne prononceras point de sentence inique, et tu ne feras point mourir l’innocent et le juste; car je n’absoudrai point le coupable.
8 Tu ne recevras point de présent; car les présents aveuglent ceux qui ont les yeux ouverts et corrompent les paroles des justes.
9 Tu n’opprimeras point l’étranger; vous savez ce qu’éprouve l’étranger, car vous avez été étrangers dans le pays d’Égypte.
10 Pendant six années, tu ensemenceras la terre, et tu en recueilleras le produit.
