출애굽기 23:3 KRV

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Exodus 23:1-9

Exo_23:1 Exo_25:9 . Chapter 23 continues, and carries to a conclusion, these "judgments" that Moses was to set before the children of Israel. It appears to divide quite naturally into four sections. The first verses Exo_23:1-9 prohibits those perversions of righteous judgment which are so common amongst men. They were not to be practised in Israel, and there is much instruction here for ourselves. It is to be noted that the first thing to be prohibited is "a false report." Against the word,... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Exodus 23:1-9

Further Ordinances Regarding Social Relations v. 1. Thou shalt not raise a false report, undertake to testify of a promise or agreement which was not heard with your own ears. Put not thine hand with the wicked to be an unrighteous witness, to charge your neighbor with any form of wickedness, to involve him in quarrels before court. Testimony should never be given in favor of some criminal act. v. 2. Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil; neither shalt thou speak in a cause to decline... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Exodus 23:1-17

Laws of Conduct and Worship Exodus 23:1-17 We may apply these various precepts to our own hearts. Many of them breathe the very spirit of Christ. We must watch our speech, so that no man’s character may suffer by our gossip or slander. We must dare to stand for the truth, though we stand absolutely alone. With all kindness and good will we must save our neighbor from damage, even though he has vented on us his spleen. It is never for us to take advantage of him; God will deal with him on our... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Exodus 23:1-33

The enactments now recorded have to do with the administration of justice. A study of them reveals that true justice is always merciful and yet makes sterner demand than any moral code of laws. The divine estimate of justice forbids wresting judgment, accepting bribes, and oppression. The feasts of the Lord are placed in their relation to the people's social life. The sabbatical year was arranged in the interests of the poor. The rest of the Sabbath is more than selfish, cattle and servants... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 23:1-33

Expansion of the Ten Words of the Covenant (Exodus 20:22 to Exodus 23:33 ). In this section, which is composed of elements put together mainly in chiastic form (see later), Yahweh expands on the Ten Words of the covenant. Notice that it begins with ‘and Yahweh said to Moses’. This proceeds as follows: a Instructions concerning future worship in obedience to the commandments in Exodus 20:3-5, for He will be with them and record His name in places where they go (Exodus 20:22-26). b ... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 23:1-9

Exodus 23:1-1 Samuel : R. Justice.— Form and substance also separate this group from the Judgments and ally it with the Words of Yahweh in the Covenant Book. Circulating groundless reports ( Exodus 23:1 a), conspiring with “ him that is in the wrong” ( cf. Exodus 2:13) to be a malicious witness ( Exodus 23:1 b) , siding with the strongest in action or witness-bearing ( Exodus 23:2), and partiality in judgment ( Exodus 23:3) are condemned. Read in Exodus 23:3 , for “ poor,” “ great” :... read more

Heb. honour, i.e. respect, or prefer his cause when the richer man’s cause is more just: the meaning of this and the former verse is, there shall be no respect of persons, whether rich or poor, but an impartial consideration of the cause. See Leviticus 19:15; Psalms 72:1,Psalms 72:2. read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Exodus 23:1-9

CRITICAL NOTES.—Exodus 23:1 Thou shalt not raise] = tissa, from the inf. napa, in its simple sense, “to carry,” and in its ethical, “to bear about in the heart.” Hence tissa is a pregnant word, and signifies: “Thou shalt neither raise nor carry abroad, nor harbour in your heart, evil report.” Exodus 23:2. Thou shalt not follow]. Our idiomatic expression, “to be after,” i.e., to preserve a course of parsistent getting at a person or thing answers well to the literal meaning of the words, lo... read more
