Here are some short quotes I liked:
Exodus 21:23-25 If any harm follows, then you shall give life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, burn for burn, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.
**I guess I didn't realize that this was in the bible. I thought it was just in Hammurabi's code but I see that I am incorrect. Sorry to the numerous people I argued about this quote. My bad!
Exodus 24:10 ...Under his feet there was something like a pavement of sapphire stone, like the very heaven for clearness.
**Niiiiiiice. If I ever come into money someday my driveway will sparkle too!
Exodus 31:18 ...he gave him the two tablets of the covenant, tablets of stone, written with the finger of God.
**He's got more talent in his little finger... ;)
Exodus 23:1-9
You shall not spread a false report. You shall not join hands with the wicked to act as a malicious witness. You shall not follow a majority in wrongdoing; when you bear witness in a lawsuit, you shall not side with the majority so as to pervert justice; nor shall you be partial to the poor in a lawsuit.
When you come upon your enemy's ox or donkey going astray, you shall bring it back. When you see the donkey of one who hates you lying under its burden and you should hold back from setting it free, you must help to set it free.
You shall not pervert the justice due to your poor in their lawsuits. Keep far from a false charge, and do not kill the innocent and those in the right, for I will not acquit the guilty. You shall take no bribe, for a bribe blinds the officials, and subverts the cause of those who are in the right.
You shall not oppress a resident alien; you know the heart of an alien, for you were aliens in the land of Egypt.
I don't have much to say about this except that I just liked it. I think reading that might do some people some good somewhere.
