UPHOLDING JUSTICE AND LOVING ENEMIES (23:1-9):
-
Exodus 23 is a continuation of the conversation between Moses and God that started in chapter 20.

God was revealing His laws for the nation of Israel.
-
The Israelites were not to corrupt the legal system by giving false testimony, taking bribes, taking advantage of the poor, or siding with a party based on personal preference.
-
They were instructed to help their enemies if they discovered them to be in need.
-
“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 down under its burden, you shall refrain from leaving him with it; you shall rescue it with him.”
