Leviticus 19

1 And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying:

And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,

2 Speak unto all the assembly of the sons of Israel and thou shalt say unto them—Holy, shall ye be, —For holy, am I—Yahweh—your God

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 Ye shall, every one, revere, his father and his mother, And my sabbaths, shall ye observe, —I—Yahweh, am 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 Do not turn unto things of nought, And, molten gods, shall ye not make to yourselves, —I—Yahweh, am your God.

Turn all of you not unto idols, nor make to yourselves molten gods: I am the LORD your God.

5 And when ye would offer a peace-offering unto Yahweh, ye shall offer it that ye may be accepted.

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 On the day, ye offer it, shall it be eaten, and on the morrow, —but, that which remaineth until the third day, in fire, shall be consumed.

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, be eaten, on the third day, unclean, it is 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 But he that eateth it, his iniquity, shall bear, because that which had been hallowed unto Yahweh, hath he profaned, —so then that person shall be cut off from among his kinsfolk.

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 ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not wholly clear the border of thy field, in reaping, —nor shalt thou gather up the gleaning of thy harvest.

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, thy vineyard, shalt thou not go over again, nor gather, every single grape: for the poor and for the sojourner, shalt thou leave them, I—Yahweh, am 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 Ye shall not steal, —nor deceive nor lie one man to another;

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

12 Nor swear by my name falsely, —And so profane the name of thy God: I, am Yahweh.

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 Thou shalt not oppress thy neighbour nor rob [him], —The wages of him that is hired shall not tarry with thee, 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 Thou shalt not curse the deaf, Nor, before the blind, place a stumbling-block, —So shalt thou stand in awe of thy God I, am Yahweh.

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

15 Ye shall not act perversely in giving judgment, Thou shalt neither respect the person of the poor, Nor prefer the person of the great, —In righteousness, shalt thou judge thy neighbour.

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 Thou shalt not go about talebearing, among thy people Thou shalt not stand by, over the blood of thy neighbour: I, am Yahweh.

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 Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thy heart, —Thou shalt, faithfully reprove, thy neighbour, and not countenance him in sin:

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

18 Thou shalt not take vengeance neither shalt thou cherish anger against the sons of thy people, So shalt thou love thy neighbour as thyself, —I, am Yahweh.

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 My statutes, shall ye observe, Thy beasts, shalt thou not cause to breed in two kinds, Thy field, shalt thou not sow with two sorts of seed, —And a garment woven of diverse threads, shalt thou not suffer to come upon thee.

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 whosoever lieth carnally with a woman, she being a bondmaid, acquired for a husband, and neither, redeemed, nor, freedom, given her, inquisition, shall be made they shall not be put to death, because she was not free;

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 but he shall bring in his guilt-bearer unto Yahweh, unto the entrance of the tent of meeting, —even a ram as a guilt-bearer;

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 put a propitiatory-covering over him with the guilt-bearing ram before Yahweh, on account of his sin which he hath committed, —so shall he have forgiveness, from his sin which he hath committed.

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 when ye come into the land, and plant any manner of fruit-tree, then shall ye count as uncircumcised the fruit thereof, three years, shall it be to you as if unclean, 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 But, in the fourth year, all the fruit thereof shall be hallowed for a festival of thanksgiving unto Yahweh.

But in the fourth year all the fruit thereof shall be holy to praise the LORD likewise.

25 And in the fifth year, shall ye eat the fruit thereof, that it may enrich you with its increase, —I—Yahweh, am 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 Ye shall eat nothing with the blood thereof, —Ye shall not practise divination neither shall ye use magic.

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

27 Ye shall not shave in a circle around your head, —nor shalt thou disfigure the fringe of thy beard.

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

28 Cuttings for a dead person, shall ye not make in your flesh. And punctures in your persons, shall ye not print, —I, am Yahweh.

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 Do not profane thy daughter by causing her to be unchaste, —lest the land fall to unchastity, and so the land be filled with wickedness.

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 My sabbaths, shall ye observe, And my sanctuary, shall ye revere, —I, am Yahweh.

All of you shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary: I am the LORD.

31 Do not turn unto mediums, Nor, for oracles, make search, To render yourselves unclean with them, I—Yahweh, am 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 Before a hoary head, shalt thou rise up, And shalt honour the presence of an elder, —So shalt thou stand in awe of thy God—I, am Yahweh.

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, when there sojourneth with thee a sojourner in your land, ye shall not oppress him:

And if a stranger sojourn with you in your land, all of you shall not vex him.

34 As one home born from among yourselves, shall be unto you the sojourner who sojourneth with you, So shalt thou love him as thyself, For, sojourners, became ye, in the land of Egypt, —I—Yahweh, am 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 Ye shall not act perversely in giving judgment, —in measures of extent, in weights in measures of capacity:

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

36 Just balances, just weights, a just ephah and a just hin, shall ye have, —I—Yahweh, am your God, who brought you forth 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 Therefore shall ye observe all my statutes and all my regulations and do them, —I, am Yahweh.

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