Leviticus 19

1 Then the LORD said to Moses,

2 “Speak to the whole congregation of Israel and tell them: Be holy because I, the LORD your God, am holy.

3 Each of you must respect his mother and father, and you must keep My Sabbaths. I am the LORD your God.

4 Do not turn to idols or make for yourselves molten gods. I am the LORD your God.

5 When you sacrifice a peace offering to the LORD, you shall offer it for your acceptance.

6 It shall be eaten on the day you sacrifice it, or on the next day; but what remains on the third day must be burned up.

7 If any of it is eaten on the third day, it is tainted and will not be accepted.

8 Whoever eats it will bear his iniquity, for he has profaned what is holy to the LORD. That person must be cut off from his people.

9 When you reap the harvest of your land, you are not to reap to the very edges of your field or gather the gleanings of your harvest.

10 You must not strip your vineyard bare or gather its fallen grapes. Leave them for the poor and the foreigner. I am the LORD your God.

11 You must not steal. You must not lie or deceive one another.

12 You must not swear falsely by My name and so profane the name of your God. I am the LORD.

13 You must not defraud your neighbor or rob him. You must not withhold until morning the wages due a hired hand.

14 You must not curse the deaf or place a stumbling block before the blind, but you shall fear your God. I am the LORD.

15 You must not pervert justice; you must not show partiality to the poor or favoritism to the rich; you are to judge your neighbor fairly.

16 You must not go about spreading slander among your people. You must not endanger the life of your neighbor. I am the LORD.

17 You must not harbor hatred against your brother in your heart. Directly rebuke your neighbor, so that you will not incur guilt on account of him.

18 Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge against any of your people, but love your neighbor as yourself. I am the LORD.

19 You are to keep My statutes. You shall not crossbreed two different kinds of livestock; you shall not sow your fields with two kinds of seed; and you shall not wear clothing made of two kinds of material.

20 If a man lies carnally with a slave girl promised to another man but who has not been redeemed or given her freedom, there must be due punishment. But they are not to be put to death, because she had not been freed.

21 The man, however, must bring a ram to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting as his guilt offering to the LORD.

22 The priest shall make atonement on his behalf before the LORD with the ram of the guilt offering for the sin he has committed, and he will be forgiven the sin he has committed.

23 When you enter the land and plant any kind of tree for food, you shall regard the fruit as forbidden. For three years it will be forbidden to you and must not be eaten.

24 In the fourth year all its fruit must be consecrated as a praise offering to the LORD.

25 But in the fifth year you may eat its fruit; thus your harvest will be increased. I am the LORD your God.

26 You must not eat anything with blood still in it. You must not practice divination or sorcery.

27 You must not cut off the hair at the sides of your head or clip off the edges of your beard.

28 You must not make any cuts in your bodies for the dead or put tattoo marks on yourselves. I am the LORD.

29 You must not defile your daughter by making her a prostitute, or the land will be prostituted and filled with depravity.

30 You must keep My Sabbaths and have reverence for My sanctuary. I am the LORD.

31 You must not turn to mediums or spiritists; do not seek them out, or you will be defiled by them. I am the LORD your God.

32 You are to rise in the presence of the elderly, honor the aged, and fear your God. I am the LORD.

33 When a foreigner resides with you in your land, you must not oppress him.

34 You must treat the foreigner living among you as native-born and love him as yourself, for you were foreigners in the land of Egypt. I am the LORD your God.

35 You must not use dishonest measures of length, weight, or volume.

36 You shall maintain honest scales and weights, an honest ephah, and an honest hin. I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt.

37 You must keep all My statutes and all My ordinances and follow them. I am the LORD.”

1 ¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

2 Speak unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, and say unto them, Ye shall be holy: for I the LORD your God [am] holy.

3 Ye shall fear every man his mother, and his father, and keep my sabbaths: I [am] the LORD your God.

4 Turn ye not unto idols, nor make to yourselves molten gods: I [am] the LORD your God.

5 And if ye offer a sacrifice of peace offerings unto the LORD, ye shall offer it at your own will.

6 It shall be eaten the same day ye offer it, and on the morrow: and if ought remain until the third day, it shall be burnt in the fire.

7 And if it be eaten at all on the third day, it [is] abominable; it shall not be accepted.

8 Therefore [every one] that eateth it shall bear his iniquity, because he hath profaned the hallowed thing of the LORD: and that soul shall be cut off from among his people.

9 And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not wholly reap the corners of thy field, neither shalt thou gather the gleanings of thy harvest.

10 And thou shalt not glean thy vineyard, neither shalt thou gather [every] grape of thy vineyard; thou shalt leave them for the poor and stranger: I [am] the LORD your God.

11 ¶ Ye shall not steal, neither deal falsely, neither lie one to another.

12 And ye shall not swear by my name falsely, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I [am] the LORD.

13 Thou shalt not defraud thy neighbour, neither rob [him]: the wages of him that is hired shall not abide with thee all night until the morning.

14 Thou shalt not curse the deaf, nor put a stumblingblock before the blind, but shalt fear thy God: I [am] the LORD.

15 Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment: thou shalt not respect the person of the poor, nor honour the person of the mighty: [but] in righteousness shalt thou judge thy neighbour.

16 Thou shalt not go up and down [as] a talebearer among thy people: neither shalt thou stand against the blood of thy neighbour: I [am] the LORD.

17 Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thine heart: thou shalt in any wise rebuke thy neighbour, and not suffer sin upon him.

18 Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: I [am] the LORD.

19 ¶ Ye shall keep my statutes. Thou shalt not let thy cattle gender with a diverse kind: thou shalt not sow thy field with mingled seed: neither shall a garment mingled of linen and woollen come upon thee.

20 And whosoever lieth carnally with a woman, that [is] a bondmaid, betrothed to an husband, and not at all redeemed, nor freedom given her; she shall be scourged; they shall not be put to death, because she was not free.

21 And he shall bring his trespass offering unto the LORD, unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, [even] a ram for a trespass offering.

22 And the priest shall make an atonement for him with the ram of the trespass offering before the LORD for his sin which he hath done: and the sin which he hath done shall be forgiven him.

23 And when ye shall come into the land, and shall have planted all manner of trees for food, then ye shall count the fruit thereof as uncircumcised: three years shall it be as uncircumcised unto you: it shall not be eaten of.

24 But in the fourth year all the fruit thereof shall be holy to praise the LORD [withal].

25 And in the fifth year shall ye eat of the fruit thereof, that it may yield unto you the increase thereof: I [am] the LORD your God.

26 Ye shall not eat [any thing] with the blood: neither shall ye use enchantment, nor observe times.

27 Ye shall not round the corners of your heads, neither shalt thou mar the corners of thy beard.

28 Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I [am] the LORD.

29 Do not prostitute thy daughter, to cause her to be a whore; lest the land fall to whoredom, and the land become full of wickedness.

30 ¶ Ye shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary: I [am] the LORD.

31 Regard not them that have familiar spirits, neither seek after wizards, to be defiled by them: I [am] the LORD your God.

32 Thou shalt rise up before the hoary head, and honour the face of the old man, and fear thy God: I [am] the LORD.

33 And if a stranger sojourn with thee in your land, ye shall not vex him.

34 [But] the stranger that dwelleth with you shall be unto you as one born among you, and thou shalt love him as thyself; for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt: I [am] the LORD your God.

35 Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment, in meteyard, in weight, or in measure.

36 Just balances, just weights, a just ephah, and a just hin, shall ye have: I [am] the LORD your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt.

37 Therefore shall ye observe all my statutes, and all my judgments, and do them: I [am] the LORD.

1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying:

2 Speak unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, and say unto them: Ye shall be holy: for I am holy, the LORD your God.

3 Every man shall fear his mother and his father. Keep my feast days: for I am the LORD your God.

4 Ye shall not turn unto idols, neither shall ye make unto yourselves molten gods: for I am the LORD your God.

5 And if ye will offer peace offerings unto the LORD, ye shall offer such things as may please him.

6 But ye shall eat it the same day that ye offer it, and the next day: and whatsoever remaineth the third day shall be burnt with fire.

7 But if any man eat thereof the third day, he is an abomination, and shall not be accepted.

8 And the same eater shall bear his iniquity, because he hath profaned the sanctuary of the LORD: and that soul shall be cut off from among his people.

9 When thou reapest thy land, thou shalt not cut it off at the ends round about, neither shalt thou gather it all up accurately.

10 Neither shalt thou glean thy vineyard accurately, nor gather up the fallen grapes: but thou shalt leave it unto the poor and to the stranger: for I am the LORD your God.

11 Ye shall not steal, nor lie, nor deal falsely, one with another.

12 Ye shall not swear falsely by my name, nor profane the name of thy God: for I am the LORD.

13 Thou shalt not wrong thy neighbour, neither shalt thou rob him. The wages of the hired servant shall not remain with thee until the morning.

14 Thou shalt not curse the deaf. Thou shalt not offend the blind: for thou shalt fear thy God: for I am the LORD.

15 Ye shall not deal unjustly in judgment, neither shall ye prefer the lowly, nor honour the great: but thou shalt judge thy neighbour aright.

16 Thou shalt not be a slanderer among thy people. Neither shalt thou stand against thy neighbour's blood: for I am the LORD.

17 Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thine heart; but thou shalt punish thy neighbour, that thou bear not his iniquity.

18 Thou shalt not be revengeful, nor bear wrath against the children of thy people. Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: for I am the LORD.

19 My statutes shall ye keep, that thou suffer not thy cattle to tamper with other beasts, nor sow thy field with seed of divers kinds; neither shall any garment come upon thee mingled with wool and linen.

20 If a man lie with a woman, and put her to sleep, which is a bondmaid, and is spurned of her husband, but is not redeemed, neither hath she obtained liberty: that shall be punished; but they shall not die, because she was not free.

21 And he shall bring a ram for a trespass offering unto the LORD at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation for his trespass.

22 And the priest shall make an atonement for him with the trespass offering before the LORD for the sin which he hath committed: and God shall be gracious unto him for his sin which he hath committed.

23 When ye come into the land, and plant every tree that is eaten thereof, then ye shall circumcise the foreskin thereof, and the fruit thereof. And ye shall keep them uncircumcised three years, that ye eat them not.

24 And in the fourth year all the fruits thereof shall be holy, and glorified unto the LORD.

25 And in the fifth year ye shall eat the fruit, and gather it: for I am the LORD your God.

26 Ye shall eat nothing with blood. Ye shall not hearken unto the cry of birds, neither shall ye choose days.

27 Ye shall not cut off the hair of your head round about, neither shave off your beard.

28 Ye shall not pluck any mark upon your body for the dead, neither shall ye pluck any letter upon you: for I am the LORD.

29 Thou shalt not keep thy daughter in whoredom, lest the land commit whoredom, and be full of vice.

30 Keep my feast, and fear my sanctuary: for I am the LORD.

31 Ye shall not turn unto soothsayers, neither inquire of sorcerers of signs, lest ye be defiled in them: for I am the LORD your God.

32 Thou shalt rise up before a gray head, and honour the aged: for thou shalt fear thy God: for I am the LORD.

33 If a stranger sojourn with thee in your land, ye shall not oppress him.

34 He shall dwell with you as a native among you, and you shall love him as yourself: for ye also were strangers in the land of Egypt. I am the LORD your God.

35 Ye shall not deal unequally in judgment with the cubit, with weight, with measure.

36 Right scales, right pounds, right bushels, right pitchers, shall be with you: for I am the LORD your God, which brought you up out of the land of Egypt,

37 That ye keep all my statutes, and all my judgments, and do them: for I am the LORD.
