Also a law of doing good to our enemies ( Exodus 23:4 ; Exodus 23:5 ), and not oppressing strangers, Exodus 23:9 . II. Some laws peculiar to the Jews. The sabbatical year ( Exodus 23:10 ; Exodus 23:11 ), the three annual feasts ( Exodus 23:14-17 ), with some laws pertaining thereto. III. Gracious promises of the completing of the mercy God had begun for them, upon condition of their obedience. That God would conduct them through the wilderness ( Exodus 23:20-24 ), that he would prosper all they had ( Exodus 23:25 ; Exodus 23:26 ), that he would put them in possession of Canaan, Exodus 23:27-31 .
