2 Speake vnto all the Congregation of the children of Israel, and say vnto them, Ye shalbe holy, for I the Lord your God am holy.
Speak to the entire assembly of the sons of Israel, and you shall say to them: Be holy, for I, the Lord your God, am holy.
3 Yee shall feare euery man his mother and his father, and shall keepe my Sabbaths: for I am the Lord your God.
Let each one fear his father and his mother. Observe my Sabbaths. I am the Lord your God.
4 Ye shall not turne vnto idoles, nor make you molten gods: I am the Lord your God.
Do not be willing to convert to idols, neither should you make molten gods for yourselves. I am the Lord your God.
5 And when yee shall offer a peace offering vnto the Lord, ye shall offer it freely.
If you immolate a victim of peace offerings to the Lord, so that he may be appeased,
6 It shall be eaten the day yee offer it, or on the morowe: and that which remaineth vntill the third day, shalbe burnt in the fire.
you shall eat it on the same day as when it was immolated, and the next day. Then whatever will remain on the third day you shall burn with fire.
7 For if it be eaten the third day, it shall be vncleane, it shall not be accepted.
If anyone, after two days, will have eaten from it, he shall be profane and guilty of impiety.
8 Therefore he that eateth it, shall beare his iniquitie, because he hath defiled the halowed thing of the Lord, and that person shalbe cut off from his people.
And he shall bear his iniquity, for he has polluted what is holy to the Lord. And that soul shall perish from his people.

13 Thou shalt not do thy neighbour wrong, neither rob him. The workemans hire shall not abide with thee vntil the morning.
You shall not slander your neighbor, nor shall you oppress him by violence. The wages of a hired hand, you shall not delay with you until tomorrow.

Observe my laws. You shall not cause your cattle to breed with other kinds of animals. You shall not sow your field with diverse seeds. You shall not be clothed with a garment which has been woven from two things.
20 Whosoeuer also lyeth and medleth with a woman that is a bonde mayde, affianced to a husband, and not redeemed, nor freedome giuen her, she shalbe scourged, but they shall not die, because she is not made free.
If a man will have slept in sexual intercourse with a woman, who is a servant and who is also able to be married, and yet he has not redeemed her with a price, nor paid to set her free, they both shall be beaten, but they shall not die, for she was not a free woman.

If a newcomer lives in your land and abides among you, do not reproach him,
34 But the stranger that dwelleth with you, shalbe as one of your selues, and thou shalt loue him as thy selfe: for ye were strangers in the lad of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.
but let him be among you like one native born. And you shall love him as yourselves. For you were also newcomers in the land of Egypt. I am the Lord your God.

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