Bible talkkk

Exodus 23
This was more and mroe about the rules that God was giving for the covenant I will give a few that I think are important (Of course all of them are but there are some certain ones that really jumped.
1 "You must not pass along false rumors.." There it is for you gossipers, rumors.. especially false ones are horrible, and they can ruin someones life, if you let them get out of hand to far, so just don't let them happen at all.
8 "Take no bribes, for a bribe makes you ignore something that you clearly see. A bribe makes even a righteous person twist the truth" I just thought that this one was really worded good. Especially the part where it says "for a bribe makes you ignore something that you clearly see."

Then the Lord talks also about some festivals that the people should practice, and he instructs the people that he is sending an angel and that all of the people must listen to the angel, beacuse it is a representative of God. Also, God in the end of the chapter, tells all of the people what he is going to reward them with if they pay attention and listen to the covenant. The major reward was land, which was a BIG deal then.
