I'm using the Great Adventure Bible from Ascension, which is just a phenomenal Bible and is definitely worth waiting for it or ordering it or whatever you need to do when it comes to getting that Great Adventure Bible ready. But as I said, today we are going to go deeper into Exodus, Leviticus, and further along when it comes to the book of Psalms.
Today is Exodus chapter 23, Leviticus 16, and Psalm 77. Exodus chapter 23, laws concerning justice. You shall not utter a false report. You shall not join hands with a wicked man to be a malicious witness. You shall not follow a multitude to do evil, nor shall you bear witness in a suit turning aside after a multitude so as to pervert justice, nor shall you be partial to a poor man in his suit.
If you meet your enemy's ox or his donkey going astray, you shall bring it back to him. If you see the donkey of one who hates you lying under its burden, you shall refrain from leaving him with it. You shall help him to lift it up. You shall not pervert the justice due to the poor in his suit.
Keep far from a false charge and do not slay the innocent and righteous, for I will not acquit the wicked. The sabbatical year and the sabbath. For six years you shall sow your land and gather in its yield, but the seventh year you shall let it rest and lie fallow, that the poor of your people may eat, and what they leave the wild beasts may eat.
You shall do likewise with your vineyard and with your olive orchard. Six days you shall do your work, but on the seventh day you shall rest, that your ox and your donkey may have rest, and the son of your maidservant and the alien may be refreshed." Take heed to all that I have said to you, and make no mention of the names of other gods, nor let such be heard out of your mouth. ANNUAL FEASTS
None shall appear before me empty-handed. You shall keep the feast of harvest, of the first fruits of your labor, of what you sow in the field. You shall keep the feast of ingathering at the end of the year, when you gather in from the field the fruit of your labor. Three times in the year shall all your males appear before the Lord God.
