Leviticus 19

1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

And the LORD spoke unto 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 unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, and say unto them, All of you shall be holy: for 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.

All of you shall fear every man his mother, and his father, and 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 all of you not unto 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.

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

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.

It shall be eaten the same day all of you offer it, and on the next day: and if ought remain until the third day, it shall be burnt in the fire.

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

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

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.

Therefore every one that eats it shall bear his iniquity, because he has profaned the hallowed thing of the LORD: and that soul shall be cut off 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.

And when all of you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not wholly reap the corners of your field, neither shall you gather the gleanings of your harvest.

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.

And you shall not glean your vineyard, neither shall you gather every grape of your vineyard; you shall leave them for the poor and stranger: 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.

All of you shall not steal, neither deal falsely, neither lie one to another.

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.

And all of you shall not swear by my name falsely, neither shall you profane the name of your 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.

You shall not defraud your neighbour, neither rob him: the wages of him that is hired shall not abide with you all night 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.

You shall not curse the deaf, nor put a stumbling block before the blind, but shall fear your God: 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.

All of you shall do no unrighteousness in judgment: you shall not respect the person of the poor, nor honor the person of the mighty: but in righteousness shall you judge your neighbour.

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.

You shall not go up and down as a talebearer among your people: neither shall you stand against the blood of your 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.

You shall not hate your brother in your heart: you shall in any way rebuke your neighbour, and not suffer sin upon 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.

You shall not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of your people, but you shall love your neighbour as yourself: 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].

All of you shall keep my statutes. You shall not let your cattle gender with a diverse kind: you shall not sow your field with mingled seed: neither shall a garment mingled of linen and woolen come upon you.

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.

And whosoever lies 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 for his trespass to the Lord to the door of the tabernacle of witness, a ram for a trespass-offering.

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

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.

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

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 the fruit thereof shall be holy to praise the LORD likewise.

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 shall all of you eat of the fruit thereof, that it may yield unto you 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.

All of you shall not eat any thing with the blood: neither shall all of you use enchantment, nor observe times.

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

All of you shall not round the corners of your heads, neither shall you ruin the corners of 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.

All of you shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: 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.

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

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

All of you shall keep 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.

Regard not them that have familiar spirits, neither seek after wizards, 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.

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

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

And if a stranger sojourn with you in your land, all of you shall not vex 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 the stranger that dwells with you shall be unto you as one born among you, and you shall love him as yourself; for all of 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.

All of you shall do no unrighteousness in judgment, in measuring rod, 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.

Just balances, just weights, a just ephah, and a just hin, shall all of you have: I am the LORD your God, which 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.

Therefore shall all of you observe all my statutes, and all my judgments, and do them: I am the LORD.
