Thou shalt not raise a false report: put not thine hand with the wicked to be an unrighteous witness.

Thou shalt not raise a false report, х lo' (H3808) tisaa' (H5375)] - Thou shalt not take up, entertain, or spread; and, in accordance with this view of the import of the word, the Septuagint renders it as: ou paradexee-Thou shalt not receive from another.

Put not thine hand - or join hand (Proverbs 11:21); i:e., agree or combine with the wicked.

To be an unrighteous witness, х `eed (H5707) chaamaac (H2555)] - a witness of wrong; i:e., a false witness.
