Exodus 23
23:2
Thou shalt not follow a multitude to [do] evil; neither shalt thou speak in a
cause
a to decline after many to wrest
[judgment]:
(
a) Do that which is godly, though few favour it.
23:4 If thou meet thine
enemy's ox or his ass going astray, thou shalt surely
b
bring it back to him again.
(
b) If we are bound to do good to our enemies
beast, how much more to our enemy himself, (
Matthew
5:44).
23:5 If thou see the
c
ass of him that hateth thee lying under his burden, and wouldest forbear to help
him, thou shalt surely help with him.
(
c) If God commands us to help our enemy's
donkey under his burden, will he suffer us to cast down our brethren with
heavy burdens?
23:7 Keep thee far from a false
matter; and the
d innocent and righteous
slay thou not: for I will not justify the wicked.
(
d) Whether you are the magistrate or are
commanded by the magistrate.
23:9 Also thou shalt not
oppress a stranger: for ye know the
e
heart of a stranger, seeing ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.
(
e) For since he is a stranger, his heart is
sorrowful enough.
23:13
And in all [things] that I have said unto you be circumspect: and make
f
no mention of the name of other gods, neither let it be heard out of thy mouth.
(
f) Neither by swearing by them, nor speaking of
them, (
Psalms
16:4;
Ephesians
5:3).
23:15 Thou shalt keep the
feast of
g 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:)
(
g) That is, Easter, in remembrance that the
angel passed over and spared the Israelites, when he slew the first born of
the Egyptians.
23:16 And the
h
feast of harvest, the firstfruits of thy labours, which thou hast sown in the
field: and the
i feast of ingathering,
[which is] in the end of the year, when thou hast gathered in thy labours out of
the field.
(
h) Which is Whit Sunday, in token that the law
was given 50 days after they departed from Egypt.
(
i) This is the feast of tabernacles, signifying
that they lived for 40 years in the tents or the tabernacles in the
wilderness.
23:18 Thou shalt not offer
the blood of my sacrifice with
k
leavened bread; neither shall the fat of my sacrifice remain until the morning.
(
k) No leavened bread will be in your house.
23:19 The 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
l mother's milk.
(
l) Meaning, that no fruit should be taken before
just time: and by this all cruel and wanton appetites are controlled.
23:21 Beware of him, and obey
his voice, provoke him not; for he will not pardon your transgressions: for my
m
name [is] in him.
(
m) I will give him my authority, and he will
govern you in my name.
23:24
Thou shalt not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor do after their works:
but thou shalt
n utterly overthrow them,
and quite break down their images.
(
n) God commands his own to not only not worship
idols, but to destroy them.
23:25 And ye shall serve the LORD your God, and he
shall bless thy
o bread, and thy water;
and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee.
(
o) That is, all things necessary for this
present life.
23:27 I will send my
p
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.
(
p) I will make them afraid of your coming and
send my angel to destroy them, as in (
Exodus
35:2).
23:31
And I will set thy bounds from the Red sea even unto the sea
q
of the Philistines, and from the
r
desert unto the
s river: for I will
deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand; and thou shalt drive them
out before thee.
(
q) Called the Sea of Syria.
(
r) Of Arabia called desert.
(
s) That is, Ephraim.
