הלכה על שמות 23:8

To not take a bribe: That the judge not take a bribe from the litigants - even to judge truthfully - as it is stated (Exodus 23:8), "And you shall not take a bribe." And this negative commandment is repeated in the Torah about this matter in another place (Deuteronomy 16:19). And so did they say in Sifrei Devarim 144:10, "'You shall not take a bribe' - even to make the innocent, innocent and the liable, liable."
