Leviticus 19

1 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,

And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

2 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.

'Speak unto all the company of the sons of Israel, and thou hast said unto them, Ye are holy, for holy [am] I, Jehovah, your God.

3 All of you shall fear every man his mother, and his father, and keep my sabbaths: I am the LORD your God.

'Each his mother and his father ye do fear, and My sabbaths ye do keep; I [am] Jehovah your God.

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

'Ye do not turn unto the idols, and a molten god ye do not make to yourselves; I [am] Jehovah your God.

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

'And when ye sacrifice a sacrifice of peace-offerings to Jehovah, at your pleasure ye do sacrifice it;

6 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.

in the day of your sacrificing it is eaten, and on the morrow, and that which is left unto the third day with fire is burnt,

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

and if it be really eaten on the third day, it [is] an abomination, it is not pleasing,

8 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.

and he who is eating it his iniquity doth bear, for the holy thing of Jehovah he hath polluted, and that person hath been cut off from his people.

9 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.

'And in your reaping the harvest of your land ye do not completely reap the corner of thy field, and the gleaning of thy harvest thou dost not gather,

10 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.

and thy vineyard thou dost not glean, even the omitted part of thy vineyard thou dost not gather, to the poor and to the sojourner thou dost leave them; I [am] Jehovah your God.

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

'Ye do not steal, nor feign, nor lie one against his fellow.

12 And all of you shall not swear by my name falsely, neither shall you profane the name of your God: I am the LORD.

'And ye do not swear by My name to falsehood, or thou hast polluted the name of thy God; I [am] Jehovah.

13 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.

'Thou dost not oppress thy neighbour, nor take plunder; the wages of the hireling doth not remain with thee till morning.

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

'Thou dost not revile the deaf; and before the blind thou dost not put a stumbling block; and thou hast been afraid of thy God; I [am] Jehovah.

15 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.

'Ye do not do perversity in judgment; thou dost not lift up the face of the poor, nor honour the face of the great; in righteousness thou dost judge thy fellow.

16 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.

'Thou dost not go slandering among thy people; thou dost not stand against the blood of thy neighbour; I [am] Jehovah.

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

'Thou dost not hate thy brother in thy heart; thou dost certainly reprove thy fellow, and not suffer sin on him.

18 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.

'Thou dost not take vengeance, nor watch the sons of thy people; and thou hast had love to thy neighbour as thyself; I [am] Jehovah.

19 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.

'My statutes ye do keep: thy cattle thou dost not cause to gender [with] diverse kinds; thy field thou dost not sow with diverse kinds, and a garment of diverse kinds, shaatnez, doth not go up upon thee.

20 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.

'And when a man lieth with a woman with seed of copulation, and she a maid-servant, betrothed to a man, and not really ransomed, or freedom hath not been given to her, an investigation there is; they are not put to death, for she [is] not free.

21 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.

'And he hath brought in his guilt-offering to Jehovah, unto the opening of the tent of meeting, a ram [for] a guilt-offering,

22 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.

and the priest hath made atonement for him with the ram of the guilt-offering before Jehovah, for his sin which he hath sinned, and it hath been forgiven him because of his sin which he hath sinned.

23 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.

'And when ye come in unto the land, and have planted all [kinds] of trees [for] food, then ye have reckoned as uncircumcised its fruit, three years it is to you uncircumcised, it is not eaten,

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

and in the fourth year all its fruit is holy — praises for Jehovah.

25 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.

And in the fifth year ye do eat its fruit — to add to you its increase; I [am] Jehovah your God.

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

'Ye do not eat with the blood; ye do not enchant, nor observe clouds.

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

'Ye do not round the corner of your head, nor destroy the corner of thy beard.

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

'And a cutting for the soul ye do not put in your flesh; and a writing, a cross-mark, ye do not put on you; I [am] Jehovah.

29 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.

'Thou dost not pollute thy daughter to cause her to go a-whoring, that the land go not a-whoring, and the land hath been full of wickedness.

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

'My sabbaths ye do keep, and My sanctuary ye do reverence; I [am] Jehovah.

31 Regard not them that have familiar spirits, neither seek after wizards, to be defiled by them: I am the LORD your God.

'Ye do not turn unto those having familiar spirits; and unto wizards ye do not seek, for uncleanness by them; I [am] Jehovah your God.

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

'At the presence of grey hairs thou dost rise up, and thou hast honoured the presence of an old man, and hast been afraid of thy God; I [am] Jehovah.

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

'And when a sojourner sojourneth with thee in your land, thou dost not oppress him;

34 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.

as a native among you is the sojourner to you who is sojourning with you, and thou hast had love to him as to thyself, for sojourners ye have been in the land of Egypt; I [am] Jehovah your God.

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

'Ye do not do perversity in judgment, in mete-yard, in weight, or in liquid measure;

36 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.

righteous balances, righteous weights, a righteous ephah, and a righteous hin ye have; I [am] Jehovah your God, who hath brought you out from the land of Egypt;

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

and ye have observed all my statutes, and all my judgments, and have done them; I [am] Jehovah.'
