Leviticus 19

1 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

And 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 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.

3 Every man shall fear his mother and his father. And ye shall keep my sabbaths. I am Jehovah your God.

Let every one of you reverence his father and his mother; and you shall 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.

You shall not follow idols, and you shall not 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.

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

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.

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.

7 And if it is eaten at all on the third day, it is an abomination. It shall not be accepted.

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

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 one bear false witness as an informer against his neighbor.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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].

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.

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.

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 he shall bring for his trespass to the Lord to the door of the tabernacle of witness, 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 has sinned. And the sin which he has sinned shall be forgiven him.

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.

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.

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.

24 But in the fourth year all the fruit of it shall be holy, for giving praise to Jehovah.

And in the fourth year all its fruit shall be holy, a subject of praise to 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 fruit, its produce is an increase to you. I am the Lord your God.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

You shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuaries: 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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

35 Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment, in measures of length, of weight, or of quantity.

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

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.

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.

37 And ye shall observe all my statutes, and all my ordinances, and do them. I am Jehovah.

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