Leviticus 19

1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

The Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

2 Speak to the congregation of the children of Israel, and you shall say to them, You shall be holy; for I the Lord your God [am] holy.

Speak to all the congregation of the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them: Be ye holy, because I the Lord your God am holy.

3 Let every one of you reverence his father and his mother; and you shall keep my sabbaths: I [am] the Lord your God.

Let every one fear his father, and his mother. Keep my sabbaths. I am the Lord your God.

4 You shall not follow idols, and you shall not make to yourselves molten gods: I [am] the Lord your God.

Turn ye not to idols, nor make to yourselves molten gods. I am the Lord your God.

5 And if you will sacrifice a peace-offering to the Lord, you shall offer it acceptable from yourselves.

If ye offer in sacrifice a peace offering to the Lord, that he may be favourable,

6 In what day soever you shall sacrifice it, it shall be eaten; and on the following day, and if any of it should be left till the third day, it shall be thoroughly burnt with fire.

You shall eat it on the same day it was offered, and the next day: and whatsoever shall be left until the third day, you shall burn with fire.

7 And if it should be at all eaten on the third day, it is unfit for sacrifice: it shall not be accepted.

If after two days ally man eat thereof, he shall be profane and guilty of impiety:

8 And he that eats it shall bear his iniquity, because he has profaned the holy things of the Lord; and the souls that eat it shall be destroyed from among their people.

And shall bear his iniquity, because he hath defiled the holy thing of the Lord, and that soul shall perish from among his people.

9 And when you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not complete the reaping of your field with exactness, and you shall not gather that which falls from your reaping.

When thou reapest the corn of thy land, thou shalt not cut down all that is on the face of the earth to the very ground: nor shalt thou gather the ears that remain.

10 And you shall not go over the gathering of your vineyard, neither shall you gather the remaining grapes of your vineyard: you shall leave them for the poor and the stranger: I am the Lord your God.

Neither shalt thou gather the bunches and grapes that fall down in thy vineyard, but shalt leave them to the poor and the strangers to take. I am the Lord your God.

11 You shall not steal, you shall not lie, neither shall one bear false witness as an informer against his neighbor.

You shall not steal. You shall not lie, neither shall any man deceive his neighbour.

12 And you shall not swear unjustly by my name, and you shall not profane the holy name of your God: I am the Lord your God.

Thou shalt not swear falsely by my name, nor profane the name of thy God. I am the Lord.

13 You shall not injure your neighbor, neither do you rob [him], neither shall the wages of your hireling remain with you until the morning.

Thou shalt not calumniate thy neighbour, nor oppress him by violence. The wages of him that hath been hired by thee shall not abide with thee until the morning.

14 You shall not revile the deaf, neither shall you put a stumbling block in the way of the blind; and you shall fear the Lord your God: I am the Lord your God.

Thou shalt not speak evil of the deaf, nor put a stumblingblock before the blind: but thou shalt fear the Lord thy God, because I am the Lord.

15 You shall not act unjustly in judgment: you shall not accept the person of the poor, nor admire the person of the mighty; with justice shall you judge your neighbor.

Thou shalt not do that which is unjust, nor judge unjustly. Respect not the person of the poor, nor honour the countenance of the mighty. But judge thy neighbour according to justice.

16 You shall not walk deceitfully among your people; you shall not rise up against the blood of your neighbor: I am the Lord your God.

Thou shalt not be a detractor nor a whisperer among the people. Thou shalt not stand against the blood of thy neighbour. I am the Lord.

17 You shall not hate your brother in your heart: you shall in any wise rebuke your neighbor, so you shall not bear sin on his account.

Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thy heart, but reprove him openly, lest thou incur sin through him.

18 And your hand shall not avenge you; and you shall not be angry with the children of your people; and you shall love your neighbor as yourself; I am the Lord.

Seek not revenge, nor be mindful of the injury of thy citizens. Thou shalt love thy friend as thyself. I am the Lord.

19 You shall observe my law: you shall not let your cattle gender with one of a different kind, and you shall not sow your vineyard with diverse seed; and you shall not put upon yourself a mingled garment woven of two [materials].

Keep ye my laws. Thou shalt not make thy cattle to gender with beasts of any other kind. Thou shalt not sow thy field with different seeds. Thou shalt not wear a garment that is woven of two sorts.

20 And if any one lie carnally with a woman, and she should be a home-servant kept for a man, and she has not been ransomed, [and] her freedom has not been given to her, they shall be visited [with punishment]; but they shall not die, because she was not set at liberty.

If a man carnally lie with a woman that is a bondservant and marriageable, and yet not redeemed with a price, nor made free: they both shall be scourged, and they shall not be put to death, because she was not a free woman.

21 And he shall bring for his trespass to the Lord to the door of the tabernacle of witness, a ram for a trespass-offering.

And for his trespass he shall offer a ram to the Lord, at the door of the tabernacle of the testimony:

22 And the priest shall make atonement for him with the ram of the trespass-offering, before the Lord, for the sin which he sinned; and the sin which he sinned shall be forgiven him.

And the priest shall pray for him and for his sin before the Lord, and he shall have mercy on him, and the sin shall be forgiven.

23 And whenever you shall enter into the land which the Lord your God gives you, and shall plant any fruit tree, then shall you purge away its uncleanness; its fruit shall be three years uncleansed to you, it shall not be eaten.

When you shall be come into the land, and shall have planted in it fruit trees, you shall take away the firstfruits of them: the fruit that comes forth shall be unclean to you, neither shall you eat of them.

24 And in the fourth year all its fruit shall be holy, a subject of praise to the Lord.

But in the fourth year, all their fruit shall be sanctified, to the praise of the Lord.

25 And in the fifth year you shall eat the fruit, its produce is an increase to you. I am the Lord your God.

And in the fifth year you shall eat the fruits thereof, gathering the increase thereof. I am the Lord your God.

26 Eat not on the mountains, nor shall you employ auguries, nor divine by inspection of birds.

You shall not eat with blood. You shall not divine nor observe dreams.

27 You shall not make a round cutting of the hair of your head, nor disfigure your beard.

Nor shall you cut your hair roundwise: nor shave your beard.

28 And you shall not make cuttings in your body for a [dead] body, and you shall not inscribe on yourselves any marks. I am the Lord your God.

You shall not make any cuttings in your flesh, for the dead, neither shall you make in yourselves any figures or marks: I am the Lord.

29 You shall not profane your daughter to prostitute her; so the land shall not go a whoring, and the land be filled with iniquity.

Make not thy daughter a common strumpet, lest the land be defiled, and filled with wickedness.

30 You shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuaries: I am the Lord.

Keep ye my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary. I am the Lord.

31 You shall not attend to those who have in them divining spirits, nor attach yourselves to enchanters, to pollute yourselves with them: I am the Lord your God.

Go not aside after wizards, neither ask any thing of soothsayers, to be defiled by them: I am the Lord your God.

32 You shall rise up before the hoary head, and honor the face of the old man, and shall fear your God: I am the Lord your God.

Rise up before the hoary head, and honour the person of the aged man: and fear the Lord thy God. I am the Lord.

33 And if there should come to you a stranger in your land, you shall not afflict him.

If a stranger dwell in your land, and abide among you, do not upbraid him:

34 The stranger that comes to you shall be among you as the native, and you shall love him as yourself; for you were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.

But let him be among you as one of the same country: and you shall love him as yourselves: for you were strangers in the land of Egypt. I am the Lord your God.

35 You shall not act unrighteously in judgment, in measures and weights and scales.

Do not any unjust thing in judgment, in rule, in weight, or in measure.

36 There shall be among you just balances and just weights and just liquid measure. I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt.

Let the balance be just and the weights equal, the bushel just, and the sextary equal. I am the Lord your God, that brought you out of the land of Egypt.

37 And you shall keep all my law and all my ordinances, and you shall do them: I am the Lord your God.

Keep all my precepts, and all my judgments, and do them. I am the Lord.
