- 1Thou shalt not raise a false report: put not thine hand with the wicked to be an unrighteous witness.לֹ֥א תִשָּׂ֖א שֵׁ֣מַע שָׁ֑וְא אַל תָּ֤שֶׁת יָֽדְךָ֙ עִם רָשָׁ֔ע לִהְיֹ֖ת עֵ֥ד חָמָֽס
- 2Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil; neither shalt thou speak in a cause to decline after many to wrest judgment:לֹֽא תִהְיֶ֥ה אַחֲרֵֽי רַבִּ֖ים לְרָעֹ֑ת וְלֹא תַעֲנֶ֣ה עַל רִ֗ב לִנְטֹ֛ת אַחֲרֵ֥י רַבִּ֖ים לְהַטֹּֽת
- 3Neither shalt thou countenance a poor man in his cause.וְדָ֕ל לֹ֥א תֶהְדַּ֖ר בְּרִיבֽוֹ
- 4If thou meet thine enemy's ox or his ass going astray, thou shalt surely bring it back to him again.כִּ֣י תִפְגַּ֞ע שׁ֧וֹר אֹֽיִבְךָ֛ א֥וֹ חֲמֹר֖וֹ תֹּעֶ֑ה הָשֵׁ֥ב תְּשִׁיבֶ֖נּוּ
- 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.כִּֽי תִרְאֶ֞ה חֲמ֣וֹר שֹׂנַאֲךָ֗ רֹבֵץ֙ תַּ֣חַת מַשָּׂא֔וֹ וְחָדַלְתָּ֖ מֵעֲזֹ֣ב עָזֹ֥ב תַּעֲזֹ֖ב עִמּֽוֹ
- 6Thou shalt not wrest the judgment of thy poor in his cause.לֹ֥א תַטֶּ֛ה מִשְׁפַּ֥ט אֶבְיֹנְךָ֖ בְּרִיבֽוֹ
- 7Keep thee far from a false matter; and the innocent and righteous slay thou not: for I will not justify the wicked.מִדְּבַר שֶׁ֖קֶר תִּרְחָ֑ק וְנָקִ֤י וְצַדִּיק֙ אַֽל תַּהֲרֹ֔ג כִּ֥י לֹא אַצְדִּ֖יק רָשָֽׁע
- 8And thou shalt take no gift: for the gift blindeth the wise, and perverteth the words of the righteous.וְשֹׁ֖חַד לֹ֣א תִקָּ֑ח כִּ֤י הַשֹּׁ֨חַד֙ יְעַוֵּ֣ר פִּקְחִ֔ים וִֽיסַלֵּ֖ף דִּבְרֵ֥י צַדִּיקִֽים
- 9Also thou shalt not oppress a stranger: for ye know the heart of a stranger, seeing ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.וְגֵ֖ר לֹ֣א תִלְחָ֑ץ וְאַתֶּ֗ם יְדַעְתֶּם֙ אֶת נֶ֣פֶשׁ הַגֵּ֔ר כִּֽי גֵרִ֥ים הֱיִיתֶ֖ם בְּאֶ֥רֶץ מִצְרָֽיִם
- 10And six years thou shalt sow thy land, and shalt gather in the fruits thereof:וְשֵׁ֥שׁ שָׁנִ֖ים תִּזְרַ֣ע אֶת אַרְצֶ֑ךָ וְאָסַפְתָּ֖ אֶת תְּבוּאָתָֽהּ
- 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.וְהַשְּׁבִיעִ֞ת תִּשְׁמְטֶ֣נָּה וּנְטַשְׁתָּ֗הּ וְאָֽכְלוּ֙ אֶבְיֹנֵ֣י עַמֶּ֔ךָ וְיִתְרָ֕ם תֹּאכַ֖ל חַיַּ֣ת הַשָּׂדֶ֑ה כֵּֽן תַּעֲשֶׂ֥ה לְכַרְמְךָ֖ לְזֵיתֶֽךָ
- 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.שֵׁ֤שֶׁת יָמִים֙ תַּעֲשֶׂ֣ה מַעֲשֶׂ֔יךָ וּבַיּ֥וֹם הַשְּׁבִיעִ֖י תִּשְׁבֹּ֑ת לְמַ֣עַן יָנ֗וּחַ שֽׁוֹרְךָ֙ וַחֲמֹרֶ֔ךָ וְיִנָּפֵ֥שׁ בֶּן אֲמָתְךָ֖ וְהַגֵּֽר
- 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.וּבְכֹ֛ל אֲשֶׁר אָמַ֥רְתִּי אֲלֵיכֶ֖ם תִּשָּׁמֵ֑רוּ וְשֵׁ֨ם אֱלֹהִ֤ים אֲחֵרִים֙ לֹ֣א תַזְכִּ֔ירוּ לֹ֥א יִשָּׁמַ֖ע עַל פִּֽיךָ
- 14Three times thou shalt keep a feast unto me in the year.שָׁלֹ֣שׁ רְגָלִ֔ים תָּחֹ֥ג בַּשָּׁנָֽה
- 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:)אֶת חַ֣ג הַמַּצּוֹת֮ תִּשְׁמֹר֒ שִׁבְעַ֣ת יָמִים֩ תֹּאכַ֨ל מַצּ֜וֹת כַּֽאֲשֶׁ֣ר צִוִּיתִ֗ךָ לְמוֹעֵד֙ חֹ֣דֶשׁ הָֽאָבִ֔יב כִּי יָצָ֣אתָ מִמִּצְרָ֑יִם וְלֹא יֵרָא֥וּ פָנַ֖י רֵיקָֽם
- 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.וְחַ֤ג הַקָּצִיר֙ בִּכּוּרֵ֣י מַעֲשֶׂ֔יךָ אֲשֶׁ֥ר תִּזְרַ֖ע בַּשָּׂדֶ֑ה וְחַ֤ג הָֽאָסִף֙ בְּצֵ֣את הַשָּׁנָ֔ה בְּאָסְפְּךָ֥ אֶֽת מַעֲשֶׂ֖יךָ מִן הַשָּׂדֶֽה
- 17Three times in the year all thy males shall appear before the Lord GOD.שָׁלֹ֥שׁ פְּעָמִ֖ים בַּשָּׁנָ֑ה יֵרָאֶה֙ כָּל זְכ֣וּרְךָ֔ אֶל פְּנֵ֖י הָאָדֹ֥ן יְהוָֽה
- 18Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leavened bread; neither shall the fat of my sacrifice remain until the morning.לֹֽא תִזְבַּ֥ח עַל חָמֵ֖ץ דַּם זִבְחִ֑י וְלֹֽא יָלִ֥ין חֵֽלֶב חַגִּ֖י עַד בֹּֽקֶר
- 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.רֵאשִׁ֗ית בִּכּוּרֵי֙ אַדְמָ֣תְךָ֔ תָּבִ֕יא בֵּ֖ית יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֶ֑יךָ לֹֽא תְבַשֵּׁ֥ל גְּדִ֖י בַּחֲלֵ֥ב אִמּֽוֹ
- 20Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared.הִנֵּ֨ה אָנֹכִ֜י שֹׁלֵ֤חַ מַלְאָךְ֙ לְפָנֶ֔יךָ לִשְׁמָרְךָ֖ בַּדָּ֑רֶךְ וְלַהֲבִ֣יאֲךָ֔ אֶל הַמָּק֖וֹם אֲשֶׁ֥ר הֲכִנֹֽתִי
- 21Beware of him, and obey his voice, provoke him not; for he will not pardon your transgressions: for my name is in him.הִשָּׁ֧מֶר מִפָּנָ֛יו וּשְׁמַ֥ע בְּקֹל֖וֹ אַל תַּמֵּ֣ר כִּ֣י לֹ֤א יִשָּׂא֙ לְפִשְׁעֲכֶ֔ם כִּ֥י שְׁמִ֖י בְּקִרְבּֽוֹ
- 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.כִּ֣י אִם שָׁמֹ֤עַ תִּשְׁמַע֙ בְּקֹל֔וֹ וְעָשִׂ֕יתָ כֹּ֖ל אֲשֶׁ֣ר אֲדַבֵּ֑ר וְאָֽיַבְתִּי֙ אֶת אֹ֣יְבֶ֔יךָ וְצַרְתִּ֖י אֶת צֹרְרֶֽיךָ
- 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.כִּֽי יֵלֵ֣ךְ מַלְאָכִי֮ לְפָנֶיךָ֒ וֶהֱבִֽיאֲךָ֗ אֶל הָֽאֱמֹרִי֙ וְהַ֣חִתִּ֔י וְהַפְּרִזִּי֙ וְהַֽכְּנַעֲנִ֔י הַחִוִּ֖י וְהַיְבוּסִ֑י וְהִכְחַדְתִּֽיו
- 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.לֹֽא תִשְׁתַּחֲוֶ֤ה לֵאלֹֽהֵיהֶם֙ וְלֹ֣א תָֽעָבְדֵ֔ם וְלֹ֥א תַעֲשֶׂ֖ה כְּמַֽעֲשֵׂיהֶ֑ם כִּ֤י הָרֵס֙ תְּהָ֣רְסֵ֔ם וְשַׁבֵּ֥ר תְּשַׁבֵּ֖ר מַצֵּבֹתֵיהֶֽם
- 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.וַעֲבַדְתֶּ֗ם אֵ֚ת יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹֽהֵיכֶ֔ם וּבֵרַ֥ךְ אֶֽת לַחְמְךָ֖ וְאֶת מֵימֶ֑יךָ וַהֲסִרֹתִ֥י מַחֲלָ֖ה מִקִּרְבֶּֽךָ
- 26There shall nothing cast their young, nor be barren, in thy land: the number of thy days I will fulfil.לֹ֥א תִהְיֶ֛ה מְשַׁכֵּלָ֥ה וַעֲקָרָ֖ה בְּאַרְצֶ֑ךָ אֶת מִסְפַּ֥ר יָמֶ֖יךָ אֲמַלֵּֽא
- 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.אֶת אֵֽימָתִי֙ אֲשַׁלַּ֣ח לְפָנֶ֔יךָ וְהַמֹּתִי֙ אֶת כָּל הָעָ֔ם אֲשֶׁ֥ר תָּבֹ֖א וְנָתַתִּ֧י אֶת כָּל אֹיְבֶ֛יךָ אֵלֶ֖יךָ עֹֽרֶף
- 28And I will send hornets before thee, which shall drive out the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite, from before thee.וְשָׁלַחְתִּ֥י אֶת הַצִּרְעָ֖ה לְפָנֶ֑יךָ וְגֵרְשָׁ֗ה אֶת הַחִוִּ֧י אֶת הַֽכְּנַעֲנִ֛י וְאֶת הַחִתִּ֖י מִלְּפָנֶֽיךָ
- 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.לֹ֧א אֲגָרְשֶׁ֛נּוּ מִפָּנֶ֖יךָ בְּשָׁנָ֣ה אֶחָ֑ת פֶּן תִּהְיֶ֤ה הָאָ֨רֶץ֙ שְׁמָמָ֔ה וְרַבָּ֥ה עָלֶ֖יךָ חַיַּ֥ת הַשָּׂדֶֽה
- 30By little and little I will drive them out from before thee, until thou be increased, and inherit the land.מְעַ֥ט מְעַ֛ט אֲגָרְשֶׁ֖נּוּ מִפָּנֶ֑יךָ עַ֚ד אֲשֶׁ֣ר תִּפְרֶ֔ה וְנָחַלְתָּ֖ אֶת הָאָֽרֶץ
- 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.וְשַׁתִּ֣י אֶת גְּבֻלְךָ֗ מִיַּם סוּף֙ וְעַד יָ֣ם פְּלִשְׁתִּ֔ים וּמִמִּדְבָּ֖ר עַד הַנָּהָ֑ר כִּ֣י אֶתֵּ֣ן בְּיֶדְכֶ֗ם אֵ֚ת יֹשְׁבֵ֣י הָאָ֔רֶץ וְגֵרַשְׁתָּ֖מוֹ מִפָּנֶֽיךָ
- 32Thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor with their gods.לֹֽא תִכְרֹ֥ת וְלֵאלֹֽהֵיהֶ֖ם בְּרִֽית
- 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.לֹ֤א יֵשְׁבוּ֙ בְּאַרְצְךָ֔ פֶּן יַחֲטִ֥יאוּ אֹתְךָ֖ כִּ֤י תַעֲבֹד֙ אֶת אֱלֹ֣הֵיהֶ֔ם כִּֽי יִהְיֶ֥ה לְמוֹקֵֽשׁ

Hebrew verse gematria
YHWSA calculates these totals directly from every consonant in the tagged Hebrew source line using the Carlo Suarès letter-number system; vowel points and cantillation marks do not add values. The totals are not reverse-mapped from English. A matching number is a comparison to investigate, not proof that two passages mean the same thing.
Lexical definitions describe possible word ranges, not automatic interpretations of a verse. See the concordance guide, gematria method, and source policy.
