Leviticus 19

1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

2 Speak unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, and say unto them, Ye shall be holy: for I the LORD 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 Ye shall fear every man his mother, and his father, and keep my sabbaths: I [am] the LORD 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 unto idols, nor make to yourselves molten gods: I [am] the LORD your God.

You shall not follow idols, and you shall not make to yourselves molten gods: I [am] the Lord your God.

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

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 ought remain until the third day, it shall be burnt in the 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 be eaten at all on the third day, it [is] abominable; 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 Therefore [every one] that eateth it shall bear his iniquity, because he hath profaned the hallowed thing of the LORD: and that soul shall be cut off from among 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 amongst their people.

9 And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not wholly reap the corners of thy field, neither shalt thou gather the gleanings 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 shalt not glean thy vineyard, neither shalt thou gather [every] grape of thy vineyard; thou shalt leave them for the poor and stranger: I [am] the LORD 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, neither deal falsely, neither lie one to another.

You shall not steal, you shall not lie, neither shall one bear false witness as an informer against his neighbour.

12 And ye shall not swear by my name falsely, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I [am] the LORD.

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 shalt not defraud thy neighbour, neither rob [him: ] the wages of him that is hired shall not abide with thee all night until the morning.

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

14 Thou shalt not curse the deaf, nor put a stumblingblock before the blind, but shalt fear thy God: I [am] the LORD.

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 shalt not respect the person of the poor, nor honour the person of the mighty: [but] in righteousness shalt thou judge thy neighbour.

You shall not act unjustly in judgement: you shall not accept the person of the poor, nor admire the person of the mighty; with justice shall you judge your neighbour.

16 Thou shalt not go up and down [as] a talebearer among thy people: neither shalt thou stand against the blood of thy neighbour: I [am] the LORD.

You shall not walk deceitfully amongst your people; you shall not rise up against the blood of your neighbour: I am the Lord your God.

17 Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thine heart: thou shalt in any wise rebuke thy neighbour, and not suffer sin upon him.

You shall not hate your brother in your heart: you shall in any wise rebuke your neighbour, so you shall not bear sin on his account.

18 Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: I [am] the LORD.

And your hand shall not avenge you; and you shall not be angry with the children of your people; and you shall love your neighbour as yourself; I am the Lord.

19 Ye shall keep my statutes. Thou shalt not let thy cattle gender with a diverse kind: thou shalt not sow thy field with mingled seed: neither shall a garment mingled of linen and woollen come upon thee.

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 whosoever lieth 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 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 unto the LORD, unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, [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 an atonement for him with the ram of the trespass offering before the LORD for his sin which he hath done: and the sin which he hath done 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 thereof as uncircumcised: three years shall it be as uncircumcised unto you: it shall not be eaten of.

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 thereof shall be holy to praise the LORD [withal].

And in the fourth year all its fruit shall be holy, a subject of praise to the Lord.

25 And in the fifth year shall ye 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 you shall eat the fruit, its produce is an increase to you. I am the Lord your God.

26 Ye shall not eat [any thing] with the blood: neither shall ye use enchantment, nor observe times.

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, neither shalt 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] the LORD.

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 prostitute thy daughter, to cause her to be a whore; 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] the LORD.

You shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuaries: I am the Lord.

31 Regard not them that have familiar spirits, neither seek after wizards, to be defiled by them: I [am] the LORD 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 shalt rise up before the hoary head, and honour the face of the old man, and fear thy God: I [am] the LORD.

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

33 And if a stranger sojourn with thee in your land, ye shall not vex him.

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

34 [But] the stranger that dwelleth with you shall be unto you as one born among you, and thou shalt love him as thyself; for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt: I [am] the LORD your God.

The stranger that comes to you shall be amongst 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 meteyard, in weight, or in measure.

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

36 Just balances, just weights, a just ephah, and a just hin, shall ye have: I [am] the LORD your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt.

There shall be amongst 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 Therefore shall ye observe all my statutes, and all my judgments, and do them: I [am] the LORD.

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