Exodus 23:6
“You shall not deny justice to your poor in their lawsuits.”
This verse is part of a collection of laws known as the Book of the Covenant, found in Exodus chapters 21-23. These laws were given to the newly formed nation of Israel after their exodus from Egypt, establishing foundational principles for their society and their relationship with God.
