Leviticus 19

1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

And the Lord spoke unto 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.

Speak unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, and say unto them, Ye shall be holy; for I the Eternal 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.

Ye shall fear, every man, his mother and his father, and my sabbaths shall ye keep: 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 turn unto the idols, and molten gods shall ye not make to yourselves: 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 if ye offer a sacrifice of peace-offering unto the Lord, ye shall offer it so that it may be favorably received from you.

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.

On the same day ye offer it shall it be eaten, and on the morrow: and whatever is left until the third day, shall be burnt with fire.

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

And if the intention was that it should be eaten on the third day, it is an abomination, it shall not be favorably received.

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.

And whoever 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.

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.

And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not wholly reap the corners of thy field, neither shalt thou gather up the gleanings of thy harvest.

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.

And thou shalt not glean thy vineyard, and the single grapes that drop in thy vineyard shalt thou not gather up; for the poor and the stranger shalt thou leave them: 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 steal; neither shall ye deny [another's property in your hands], nor lie one to another.

12 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.

And ye shall not swear by my name falsely, and thou shalt not thus profane 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 withhold any thing from thy neighbor, nor rob him: there shall not abide with thee the wages of him that is hired, through the night until 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 deaf, nor put a stumbling-block before the blind; but thou shalt be afraid of 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 do no unrighteousness in judgment; thou shalt not respect the person of the poor, nor honor the person of the great; in righteousness shalt thou judge thy neighbor.

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 go up and down as a talebearer among thy people; thou shalt not stand [idly] by the blood of thy neighbor: 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 thy heart: thou shalt indeed rebuke thy neighbor, and not bear sin on account of him.

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 avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people; but thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself: 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].

My statutes shall ye keep; thy cattle shalt thou not let gender with a diverse kind; thy field shalt thou not sow with mingled seeds; and a garment of mingled kinds, of linen and woollen, shall not come upon 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.

And if a man lie carnally with a woman, that is a bond-maid, betrothed to a man, but who hath neither been redeemed, nor hath her freedom been given her: there shall a scourging be decreed; they shall not be put to death, because she was not 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 his trespass-offering unto the Lord, unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: a ram for a trespass-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.

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 he shall be forgiven for his sin 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.

And when ye come into the land, and plant any kind of tree bearing edible fruit, then shall ye count the fruit thereof as uncircumcised: three years shall it be as uncircumcised unto 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 year shall all its fruit be holy for praise-giving unto 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 year shall ye eat of its fruit, in order that it may increase unto you its productiveness: 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 upon the blood; nor shall ye use enchantment, nor observe times.

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

Ye shall not cut round the corners [of the hair] of your head, neither shalt thou destroy the corners 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.

And for the dead shall ye not make any incision in your flesh; and any etched-in writing shall you not fix on yourselves: 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.

Do not profane thy daughter, to cause her to be a prostitute; lest the land fall to prostitution, and the land become full of incest.

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

My sabbaths shall ye keep, and my sanctuary shall ye reverence: I am the Lord.

31 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.

Turn not unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards; seek [them] not, to be defiled by them: I am the Lord your God.

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.

Before the hoary head shalt thou rise up, and honor the face of the old man; and thou shalt be afraid of 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 sojourn with thee, in your land, ye shall not vex 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.

As one born in the land among you, shall be unto you the stranger that sojourneth with you, and thou shalt love him as thyself; for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.

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

Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment, in meteyard, 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.

Just balances, just weights, a just ephah, and a just hin, shall ye have: I am the Lord your God, who have brought you forth out of the land 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.

Ye shall therefore observe all my statutes, and all my ordinances, and do them: I am the Lord.
