Leviticus 19

1 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

The Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

2 Speak to all the congregation of the sons of Israel, and say to them, Ye shall be holy, for I Jehovah 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 Every man shall fear his mother and his father. And ye shall keep my sabbaths. I am Jehovah your God.

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

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

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

5 And when ye offer a sacrifice of peace offerings to Jehovah, ye shall offer it that ye may be accepted.

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

6 It shall be eaten the same day ye offer it, and on the morrow. And if any remain until the third day, it shall be 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 is eaten at all on the third day, it is an abomination. It shall not be accepted.

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

8 But he who eats it shall bear his iniquity, because he has profaned the holy thing of Jehovah, and that soul shall be cut off from his 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 ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shall not wholly reap the corners of thy field, nor shall thou gather the gleaning of thy harvest.

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 thou shall not glean thy vineyard, nor shall thou gather the fallen fruit of thy vineyard. Thou shall leave them for the poor man and for the sojourner. I am Jehovah 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 Ye shall not steal, nor shall ye deal falsely, nor lie one to another.

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

12 And ye shall not swear by my name falsely, and profane the name of thy God. I am Jehovah.

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

13 Thou shall not oppress thy neighbor, nor rob him. The wages of a hired servant shall not abide with thee all night 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 Thou shall not curse the deaf, nor put a stumbling block before the blind, but thou shall fear thy God. I am Jehovah.

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 Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment. Thou shall not respect the person of the poor man, nor honor the person of the mighty man, but thou shall judge thy neighbor in righteousness.

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 Thou shall not go up and down as a talebearer among thy people, neither shall thou stand against the blood of thy neighbor. I am Jehovah.

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 Thou shall not hate thy brother in thy heart. Thou shall surely rebuke thy neighbor, and not bear sin because of him.

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

18 Thou shall not take vengeance, nor bear any grudge against the sons of thy people, but thou shall love thy neighbor as thyself. I am Jehovah.

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

19 Ye shall keep my statutes. Thou shall not let thy cattle engender with a diverse kind. Thou shall not sow thy field with two kinds of seed, neither shall there come upon thee a garment of two kinds of stuff mingled together.

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 whoever lies carnally with a woman, who 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.

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 his trespass offering to Jehovah, to the door of the tent of meeting, even 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 Jehovah for his sin which he has sinned. And the sin which he has 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 when ye shall come into the land, and shall have planted all manner of trees for food, then ye shall count the fruit of it as their uncircumcision. Three years they shall be as uncircumcised 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 But in the fourth year all the fruit of it shall be holy, for giving praise to Jehovah.

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

25 And in the fifth year ye shall eat of the fruit of it, that it may yield to you the increase of it. I am Jehovah your God.

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

26 Ye shall not eat anything with the blood. Neither shall ye use enchantments, nor practice augury.

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

27 Ye shall not round the corners of your heads, nor shall thou mar the corners of thy beard.

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

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

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 Do not profane thy daughter, to make her a harlot, lest the land fall to whoredom, and the land become full of wickedness.

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

30 Ye shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary. I am Jehovah.

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

31 Do not turn to those who have familiar spirits, nor to the wizards. Do not seek them out, to be defiled by them. I am Jehovah 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 Thou shall rise up before the hoary head, and honor the face of the old man, and thou shall fear thy God. I am Jehovah.

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 a stranger sojourns with thee in your land, ye shall not do him wrong.

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

34 The stranger that sojourns with you shall be to you as the home-born among you, and thou shall love him as thyself, for ye were sojourners in the land of Egypt. I am Jehovah 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 Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment, in measures of length, of weight, or of quantity.

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

36 Ye shall have just balances, just weights, a just ephah, and a just hin. I am Jehovah 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 ye shall observe all my statutes, and all my ordinances, and do them. I am Jehovah.

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