Leviticus 19
1 And Jehovah 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 Jehovah your God am holy.
3 Ye shall fear every man his mother, and his father; and ye shall keep my
sabbaths: I am Jehovah your God.
4 Turn ye not unto idols, nor make to yourselves molten gods: I am Jehovah your
God.
5 And when ye offer a sacrifice of peace-offerings unto Jehovah, ye shall offer
it that ye may be accepted.
6 It shall be eaten the same day ye offer it, and on the morrow: and if aught
remain until the third day, it shall be burnt with fire.
7 And if it be eaten at all on the third day, it is an abomination; it shall not
be accepted:
8 but every one that eateth it shall bear his iniquity, because he hath profaned
the holy thing of Jehovah: and that soul shall be cut off from 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 gleaning of thy harvest.
10 And thou shalt not glean thy vineyard, neither shalt thou gather the fallen
fruit of thy vineyard; thou shalt leave them for the poor and for the sojourner:
I am Jehovah your God.
11 Ye shall not steal; neither shall ye deal falsely, nor lie one to another.
12 And ye shall not swear by my name falsely, and profane the name of thy God: I
am Jehovah.
13 Thou shalt not oppress thy neighbor, nor rob him: the wages of a hired
servant 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
thou shalt fear thy God: I am Jehovah.
15 Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment: thou shalt not respect the person
of the poor, nor honor the person of the mighty; but in righteousness shalt thou
judge thy neighbor.
16 Thou shalt not go up and down as a talebearer among thy people: neither shalt
thou stand against the blood of thy neighbor: I am Jehovah.
17 Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thy heart: thou shalt surely rebuke thy
neighbor, and not bear sin because of him.
18 Thou shalt not take vengeance, nor bear any grudge against the children of
thy people; but thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself: I am Jehovah.
19 Ye shall keep my statutes. Thou shalt not let thy cattle gender with a
diverse kind: thou shalt not sow thy field with two kinds of seed: neither shall
there come upon thee a garment of two kinds of stuff mingled together.
20 And whosoever lieth carnally with a woman, that is a bondmaid, betrothed to a
husband, and not at all redeemed, nor freedom given her; they shall be punished;
they shall not be put to death, because she was not free.
21 And he shall bring his trespass-offering unto Jehovah, unto the door of the
tent of meeting, even a ram for a trespass-offering.
22 And the priest shall make atonement for him with the ram of the
trespass-offering before Jehovah for his sin which he hath sinned: and the sin
which he hath sinned 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 their uncircumcision:
three years shall they be as uncircumcised unto you; it shall not be eaten.
24 But in the fourth year all the fruit thereof shall be holy, for giving praise
unto Jehovah.
25 And in the fifth year shall ye eat of the fruit thereof, that it may yield
unto you the increase thereof: I am Jehovah your God.
26 Ye shall not eat anything with the blood: neither shall ye use enchantments,
nor practise augury.
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 Jehovah.
29 Profane not thy daughter, to make her a harlot; 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 Jehovah.
31 Turn ye not unto them that have familiar spirits, nor unto the wizards; seek
them not out, to be defiled by them: I am Jehovah your God.
32 Thou shalt rise up before the hoary head, and honor the face of the old man,
and thou shalt fear thy God: I am Jehovah.
33 And if a stranger sojourn with thee in your land, ye shall not do him wrong.
34 The stranger that sojourneth with you shall be unto you as the home-born
among you, and thou shalt love him as thyself; for ye were sojourners in the
land of Egypt: I am Jehovah your God.
35 Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment, in measures of length, of weight,
or of quantity.
36 Just balances, just weights, a just ephah, and a just hin, shall ye have: I
am Jehovah your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt.
37 And ye shall observe all my statutes, and all mine ordinances, and do them: I
am Jehovah.
