Leviticus 19

1 And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,

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 Eternal your God am holy.

Speak to all the congregation of the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them: Be ye holy, because I the Lord your God am holy.

3 Ye shall fear, every man, his mother and his father, and my sabbaths shall ye keep: I am the Lord your God.

Let every one fear his father, and his mother. Keep my sabbaths. I am the Lord your God.

4 Ye shall not turn unto the idols, and molten gods shall ye not make to yourselves: I am the Lord your God.

Turn ye not to idols, nor make to yourselves molten gods. I am the Lord your God.

5 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.

If ye offer in sacrifice a peace offering to the Lord, that he may be favourable,

6 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.

You shall eat it on the same day it was offered, and the next day: and whatsoever shall be left until the third day, you shall burn with fire.

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

If after two days ally man eat thereof, he shall be profane and guilty of impiety:

8 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.

And shall bear his iniquity, because he hath defiled the holy thing of the Lord, and that soul shall perish from among his 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 up the gleanings of thy harvest.

When thou reapest the corn of thy land, thou shalt not cut down all that is on the face of the earth to the very ground: nor shalt thou gather the ears that remain.

10 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.

Neither shalt thou gather the bunches and grapes that fall down in thy vineyard, but shalt leave them to the poor and the strangers to take. I am the Lord your God.

11 Ye shall not steal; neither shall ye deny [another's property in your hands], nor lie one to another.

You shall not steal. You shall not lie, neither shall any man deceive his neighbour.

12 And ye shall not swear by my name falsely, and thou shalt not thus profane the name of thy God: I am the Lord.

Thou shalt not swear falsely by my name, nor profane the name of thy God. I am the Lord.

13 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.

Thou shalt not calumniate thy neighbour, nor oppress him by violence. The wages of him that hath been hired by thee shall not abide with thee until the morning.

14 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.

Thou shalt not speak evil of the deaf, nor put a stumblingblock before the blind: but thou shalt fear the Lord thy God, because I am the Lord.

15 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.

Thou shalt not do that which is unjust, nor judge unjustly. Respect not the person of the poor, nor honour the countenance of the mighty. But judge thy neighbour according to justice.

16 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.

Thou shalt not be a detractor nor a whisperer among the people. Thou shalt not stand against the blood of thy neighbour. I am the Lord.

17 Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thy heart: thou shalt indeed rebuke thy neighbor, and not bear sin on account of him.

Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thy heart, but reprove him openly, lest thou incur sin through him.

18 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.

Seek not revenge, nor be mindful of the injury of thy citizens. Thou shalt love thy friend as thyself. I am the Lord.

19 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.

Keep ye my laws. Thou shalt not make thy cattle to gender with beasts of any other kind. Thou shalt not sow thy field with different seeds. Thou shalt not wear a garment that is woven of two sorts.

20 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.

If a man carnally lie with a woman that is a bondservant and marriageable, and yet not redeemed with a price, nor made free: they both shall be scourged, and they shall not be put to death, because she was not a free woman.

21 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.

And for his trespass he shall offer a ram to the Lord, at the door of the tabernacle of the testimony:

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 he shall be forgiven for his sin which he hath committed.

And the priest shall pray for him and for his sin before the Lord, and he shall have mercy on him, and the sin shall be forgiven.

23 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.

When you shall be come into the land, and shall have planted in it fruit trees, you shall take away the firstfruits of them: the fruit that comes forth shall be unclean to you, neither shall you eat of them.

24 But in the fourth year shall all its fruit be holy for praise-giving unto the Lord.

But in the fourth year, all their fruit shall be sanctified, to the praise of the Lord.

25 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.

And in the fifth year you shall eat the fruits thereof, gathering the increase thereof. I am the Lord your God.

26 Ye shall not eat upon the blood; nor shall ye use enchantment, nor observe times.

You shall not eat with blood. You shall not divine nor observe dreams.

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

Nor shall you cut your hair roundwise: nor shave your beard.

28 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.

You shall not make any cuttings in your flesh, for the dead, neither shall you make in yourselves any figures or marks: I am the Lord.

29 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.

Make not thy daughter a common strumpet, lest the land be defiled, and filled with wickedness.

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

Keep ye my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary. I am the Lord.

31 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.

Go not aside after wizards, neither ask any thing of soothsayers, to be defiled by them: I am the Lord your God.

32 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.

Rise up before the hoary head, and honour the person of the aged man: and fear the Lord thy God. I am the Lord.

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

If a stranger dwell in your land, and abide among you, do not upbraid him:

34 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.

But let him be among you as one of the same country: and you shall love him as yourselves: 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.

Do not any unjust thing in judgment, in rule, in weight, or in measure.

36 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.

Let the balance be just and the weights equal, the bushel just, and the sextary equal. I am the Lord your God, that brought you out of the land of Egypt.

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

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