< Leviticus 19 >

1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
2 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.
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.
3 Let every one of you reverence his father and his mother; and you shall keep my sabbaths: I [am] the Lord your God.
Yee shall feare euery man his mother and his father, and shall keepe my Sabbaths: for I am the Lord your God.
4 You shall not follow idols, and you shall not make to yourselves molten gods: I [am] the Lord your God.
Ye shall not turne vnto idoles, nor make you molten gods: I am the Lord your God.
5 And if you will sacrifice a peace-offering to the Lord, you shall offer it acceptable from yourselves.
And when yee shall offer a peace offering vnto the Lord, ye shall offer it freely.
6 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.
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.
7 And if it should be at all eaten on the third day, it is unfit for sacrifice: it shall not be accepted.
For if it be eaten the third day, it shall be vncleane, it shall not be accepted.
8 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.
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.
9 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.
When yee reape the haruest of your land, ye shall not reape euery corner of your field, neither shalt thou gather the glainings of thy haruest.
10 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.
Thou shalt not gather the grapes of thy vineyarde cleane, neyther gather euery grape of thy vineyarde, but thou shalt leaue them for the poore and for the straunger: I am the Lord your God.
11 You shall not steal, you shall not lie, neither shall one bear false witness as an informer against his neighbor.
Ye shall not steale, neither deale falsely, neither lie one to another.

Also yee shall not sweare by my name falsely, neither shalt thou defile the name of thy God: I am the Lord.
13 You shall not injure your neighbor, neither do you rob [him], neither shall the wages of your hireling remain with you until the morning.
Thou shalt not do thy neighbour wrong, neither rob him. The workemans hire shall not abide with thee vntil the morning.
14 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.
Thou shalt not curse the deafe, neither put a stumbling blocke before the blinde, but shalt feare thy God: I am the Lord.
15 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.
Ye shall not doe vniustly in iudgement. Thou shalt not fauour the person of the poore, nor honour the person of the mightie, but thou shalt iudge thy neighbour iustly.
16 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.
Thou shalt not walke about with tales among thy people. Thou shalt not stand against the blood of thy neighbour: I am the Lord.
17 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.
Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thine heart, but thou shalt plainely rebuke thy neighbour, and suffer him not to sinne.
18 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.
Thou shalt not auenge, nor be mindful of wrong against ye childre of thy people, but shalt loue thy neighbour as thy selfe: I am the Lord.
19 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].
Yee shall keepe mine ordinances. Thou shalt not let thy cattel gender with others of diuers kindes. Thou shalt not sowe thy fielde with mingled seede, neyther shall a garment of diuers thinges, as of linen and wollen come vpon thee.
20 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.
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.
21 And he shall bring for his trespass to the Lord to the door of the tabernacle of witness, a ram for a trespass-offering.
And he shall bring for his trespasse offring vnto the Lord, at the doore of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, a ramme for a trespasse offering.
22 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.
Then the Priest shall make an atonement for him with the ramme of the trespasse offering before the Lord, concerning his sinne which he hath done, and pardon shalbe giuen him for his sinne which he hath committed.
23 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.
Also when ye shall come into the land, and haue planted euery tree for meate, ye shall count the fruite thereof as vncircumcised: three yeere shall it be vncircumcised vnto you, it shall not be eaten:
24 And in the fourth year all its fruit shall be holy, a subject of praise to the Lord.
But in the fourth yere all the fruite thereof shalbe holy to the praise of the Lord.
25 And in the fifth year you shall eat the fruit, its produce is an increase to you. I am the Lord your God.
And in the fifth yeere shall ye eate of the fruite of it that it may yeelde to you the encrease thereof: I am the Lord your God.
26 Eat not on the mountains, nor shall you employ auguries, nor divine by inspection of birds.
Ye shall not eat the flesh with the blood, ye shall not vse witchcraft, nor obserue times.
27 You shall not make a round cutting of the hair of your head, nor disfigure your beard.
Ye shall not cut rounde the corners of your heades, neither shalt thou marre the tuftes of thy beard.
28 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.
Ye shall not cut your flesh for the dead, nor make any print of a marke vpon you: I am the Lord,
29 You shall not profane your daughter to prostitute her; so the land shall not go a whoring, and the land be filled with iniquity.
Thou shalt not make thy daughter common, to cause her to be a whore, least the lande also fall to whoredome, and the lande bee full of wickednesse.
30 You shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuaries: I am the Lord.

32 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.
Thou shalt rise vp before the horehead, and honour the person of the old man, and dread thy God: I am the Lord.
33 And if there should come to you a stranger in your land, you shall not afflict him.
And if a stranger soiourne with thee in your lande, ye shall not vexe him.
34 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.
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.
35 You shall not act unrighteously in judgment, in measures and weights and scales.
Ye shall not doe vniustly in iudgement, in line, in weight, or in measure.
36 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.
You shall haue iust ballances, true weightes, a true Ephah, and a true Hin. I am the Lord your God, which haue brought you out of the lande of Egypt.
37 And you shall keep all my law and all my ordinances, and you shall do them: I am the Lord your God.
Therefore shall ye obserue all mine ordinances, and all my iudgements, and doe them: I am the Lord.
