Exodus 23:9 in Context — Exodus 23

7 De palavra de mentira te afastarás, e não matarás ao inocente e justo; porque eu não justificarei ao ímpio.

8 Não receberás suborno; porque o suborno cega aos que veem, e perverte as palavras justas.

9 E não angustiarás ao estrangeiro: pois vós sabeis como se acha a alma do estrangeiro, já que estrangeiros fostes na terra do Egito.

10 Seis anos semearás tua terra, e recolherás sua colheita:

11 Mas no sétimo a deixarás vazia e liberarás, para que comam os pobres de teu povo; e do que restar comerão os animais do campo; assim farás de tua vinha e de teu olival.
