< Leviticus 19 >

1 YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,
וַיְדַבֵּר יְהוָה אֶל־מֹשֶׁה לֵּאמֹֽר
2 "Speak to all the congregation of the children of Israel, and tell them, 'You shall be holy; for I YHWH your God am holy.
דַּבֵּר אֶל־כָּל־עֲדַת בְּנֵי־יִשְׂרָאֵל וְאָמַרְתָּ אֲלֵהֶם קְדֹשִׁים תִּהְיוּ כִּי קָדוֹשׁ אֲנִי יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵיכֶֽם׃
3 "'Each one of you shall respect his mother and his father. You shall keep my Sabbaths. I am YHWH your God.
אִישׁ אִמּוֹ וְאָבִיו תִּירָאוּ וְאֶת־שַׁבְּתֹתַי תִּשְׁמֹרוּ אֲנִי יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵיכֶֽם׃
4 "'Do not turn to idols, nor make molten gods for yourselves. I am YHWH your God.
אַל־תִּפְנוּ אֶל־הָאֱלִילִים וֵֽאלֹהֵי מַסֵּכָה לֹא תַעֲשׂוּ לָכֶם אֲנִי יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵיכֶֽם׃
5 "'When you offer a sacrifice of peace offerings to YHWH, you shall offer it so that you may be accepted.
וְכִי תִזְבְּחוּ זֶבַח שְׁלָמִים לַיהוָה לִֽרְצֹנְכֶם תִּזְבָּחֻֽהוּ׃
6 It shall be eaten the same day you offer it, and on the next day: and if anything remains until the third day, it shall be burned with fire.
בְּיוֹם זִבְחֲכֶם יֵאָכֵל וּמִֽמָּחֳרָת וְהַנּוֹתָר עַד־יוֹם הַשְּׁלִישִׁי בָּאֵשׁ יִשָּׂרֵֽף׃
7 If it is eaten at all on the third day, it is an abomination. It will not be accepted;
וְאִם הֵאָכֹל יֵאָכֵל בַּיּוֹם הַשְּׁלִישִׁי פִּגּוּל הוּא לֹא יֵרָצֶֽה׃
8 but everyone who eats it shall bear his iniquity, because he has profaned the holy thing of YHWH, and that soul shall be cut off from his people.
וְאֹֽכְלָיו עֲוֺנוֹ יִשָּׂא כִּֽי־אֶת־קֹדֶשׁ יְהוָה חִלֵּל וְנִכְרְתָה הַנֶּפֶשׁ הַהִוא מֵעַמֶּֽיהָ׃
9 "'When 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.
וּֽבְקֻצְרְכֶם אֶת־קְצִיר אַרְצְכֶם לֹא תְכַלֶּה פְּאַת שָׂדְךָ לִקְצֹר וְלֶקֶט קְצִֽירְךָ לֹא תְלַקֵּֽט׃
10 You shall not glean your vineyard, neither shall you gather the fallen grapes of your vineyard; you shall leave them for the poor and for the foreigner. I am YHWH your God.
וְכַרְמְךָ לֹא תְעוֹלֵל וּפֶרֶט כַּרְמְךָ לֹא תְלַקֵּט לֶֽעָנִי וְלַגֵּר תַּעֲזֹב אֹתָם אֲנִי יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵיכֶֽם׃
11 "'You shall not steal; neither shall you deal falsely, nor lie to one another.
לֹא תִּגְנֹבוּ וְלֹא־תְכַחֲשׁוּ וְלֹֽא־תְשַׁקְּרוּ אִישׁ בַּעֲמִיתֽוֹ׃
12 "'You shall not swear by my name falsely, and profane the name of your God. I am YHWH.
וְלֹֽא־תִשָּׁבְעוּ בִשְׁמִי לַשָּׁקֶר וְחִלַּלְתָּ אֶת־שֵׁם אֱלֹהֶיךָ אֲנִי יְהוָֽה׃
13 "'You shall not oppress your neighbor, nor rob him. The wages of a hired servant shall not remain with you all night until the morning.
לֹֽא־תַעֲשֹׁק אֶת־רֵֽעֲךָ וְלֹא תִגְזֹל לֹֽא־תָלִין פְּעֻלַּת שָׂכִיר אִתְּךָ עַד־בֹּֽקֶר׃
14 "'You shall not curse the deaf, nor put a stumbling block before the blind; but you shall fear your God. I am YHWH.
לֹא־תְקַלֵּל חֵרֵשׁ וְלִפְנֵי עִוֵּר לֹא תִתֵּן מִכְשֹׁל וְיָרֵאתָ מֵּאֱלֹהֶיךָ אֲנִי יְהוָֽה׃
15 "'You shall do no injustice in judgment: you shall not be partial to the poor, nor show favoritism to the great; but you shall judge your neighbor in righteousness.
לֹא־תַעֲשׂוּ עָוֶל בַּמִּשְׁפָּט לֹא־תִשָּׂא פְנֵי־דָל וְלֹא תֶהְדַּר פְּנֵי גָדוֹל בְּצֶדֶק תִּשְׁפֹּט עֲמִיתֶֽךָ׃
16 "'You shall not go up and down as a slanderer among your people; neither shall you stand against the life of your neighbor. I am YHWH.
לֹא־תֵלֵךְ רָכִיל בְּעַמֶּיךָ לֹא תַעֲמֹד עַל־דַּם רֵעֶךָ אֲנִי יְהוָֽה׃
17 "'You shall not hate your brother in your heart. You shall surely rebuke your neighbor, and not bear sin because of him.
לֹֽא־תִשְׂנָא אֶת־אָחִיךָ בִּלְבָבֶךָ הוֹכֵחַ תּוֹכִיחַ אֶת־עֲמִיתֶךָ וְלֹא־תִשָּׂא עָלָיו חֵֽטְא׃
18 "'You shall not take vengeance, nor bear any grudge against the children of your people; but you shall love your neighbor as yourself. I am YHWH.
לֹֽא־תִקֹּם וְלֹֽא־תִטֹּר אֶת־בְּנֵי עַמֶּךָ וְאָֽהַבְתָּ לְרֵעֲךָ כָּמוֹךָ אֲנִי יְהוָֽה׃
19 "'You shall keep my statutes. "'You shall not crossbreed different kinds of animals. "'you shall not sow your field with two kinds of seed; "'neither shall there come upon you a garment made of two kinds of material.
אֶֽת־חֻקֹּתַי תִּשְׁמֹרוּ בְּהֶמְתְּךָ לֹא־תַרְבִּיעַ כִּלְאַיִם שָׂדְךָ לֹא־תִזְרַע כִּלְאָיִם וּבֶגֶד כִּלְאַיִם שֽׁ͏ַעַטְנֵז לֹא יַעֲלֶה עָלֶֽיךָ׃
20 "'If a man lies carnally with a woman who is a slave girl, pledged to be married to another man, and not ransomed, or given her freedom; they shall be punished. They shall not be put to death, because she was not free.
וְאִישׁ כִּֽי־יִשְׁכַּב אֶת־אִשָּׁה שִׁכְבַת־זֶרַע וְהִוא שִׁפְחָה נֶחֱרֶפֶת לְאִישׁ וְהָפְדֵּה לֹא נִפְדָּתָה אוֹ חֻפְשָׁה לֹא נִתַּן־לָהּ בִּקֹּרֶת תִּהְיֶה לֹא יוּמְתוּ כִּי־לֹא חֻפָּֽשָׁה׃
21 He shall bring his trespass offering to YHWH, to the door of the Tent of Meeting, even a ram for a trespass offering.
וְהֵבִיא אֶת־אֲשָׁמוֹ לַֽיהוָה אֶל־פֶּתַח אֹהֶל מוֹעֵד אֵיל אָשָֽׁם׃
22 The priest shall make atonement for him with the ram of the trespass offering before YHWH for his sin which he has committed: and the sin which he has committed shall be forgiven him.
וְכִפֶּר עָלָיו הַכֹּהֵן בְּאֵיל הָֽאָשָׁם לִפְנֵי יְהוָה עַל־חַטָּאתוֹ אֲשֶׁר חָטָא וְנִסְלַח לוֹ מֵחַטָּאתוֹ אֲשֶׁר חָטָֽא׃
23 "'When you come into the land, and have planted all kinds of trees for food, then you shall count their fruit as forbidden. Three years shall they be forbidden to you. It shall not be eaten.
וְכִי־תָבֹאוּ אֶל־הָאָרֶץ וּנְטַעְתֶּם כָּל־עֵץ מַאֲכָל וַעֲרַלְתֶּם עָרְלָתוֹ אֶת־פִּרְיוֹ שָׁלֹשׁ שָׁנִים יִהְיֶה לָכֶם עֲרֵלִים לֹא יֵאָכֵֽל׃
24 But in the fourth year all its fruit shall be holy, for giving praise to YHWH.
וּבַשָּׁנָה הָרְבִיעִת יִהְיֶה כָּל־פִּרְיוֹ קֹדֶשׁ הִלּוּלִים לַיהוָֽה׃
25 In the fifth year you shall eat its fruit, that it may yield its increase to you. I am YHWH your God.
וּבַשָּׁנָה הַחֲמִישִׁת תֹּֽאכְלוּ אֶת־פִּרְיוֹ לְהוֹסִיף לָכֶם תְּבוּאָתוֹ אֲנִי יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵיכֶֽם׃
26 "'You shall not eat any meat with the blood still in it; neither shall you practice divination, nor practice sorcery.
לֹא תֹאכְלוּ עַל־הַדָּם לֹא תְנַחֲשׁוּ וְלֹא תְעוֹנֵֽנוּ׃
27 "'You shall not cut the hair on the sides of your heads, neither shall you clip off the edge of your beard.
לֹא תַקִּפוּ פְּאַת רֹאשְׁכֶם וְלֹא תַשְׁחִית אֵת פְּאַת זְקָנֶֽךָ׃
28 "'You shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor tattoo any marks on you. I am YHWH.
וְשֶׂרֶט לָנֶפֶשׁ לֹא תִתְּנוּ בִּבְשַׂרְכֶם וּכְתֹבֶת קֽ͏ַעֲקַע לֹא תִתְּנוּ בָּכֶם אֲנִי יְהוָֽה׃
29 "'Do not profane your daughter, to make her a prostitute; lest the land fall to prostitution, and the land become full of wickedness.
אַל־תְּחַלֵּל אֶֽת־בִּתְּךָ לְהַזְנוֹתָהּ וְלֹא־תִזְנֶה הָאָרֶץ וּמָלְאָה הָאָרֶץ זִמָּֽה׃
30 "'You shall keep my Sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary; I am YHWH.
אֶת־שַׁבְּתֹתַי תִּשְׁמֹרוּ וּמִקְדָּשִׁי תִּירָאוּ אֲנִי יְהוָֽה׃
31 "'Do not turn to spirits of the dead, and do not inquire of familiar spirits, to be defiled by them. I am YHWH your God.
אַל־תִּפְנוּ אֶל־הָאֹבֹת וְאֶל־הַיִּדְּעֹנִים אַל־תְּבַקְשׁוּ לְטָמְאָה בָהֶם אֲנִי יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵיכֶֽם׃
32 "'You shall rise up before the gray head, and honor the face of an old man, and you shall fear your God. I am YHWH.

33 "'If a stranger lives as a foreigner with you in your land, you shall not do him wrong.
וְכִֽי־יָגוּר אִתְּךָ גֵּר בְּאַרְצְכֶם לֹא תוֹנוּ אֹתֽוֹ׃
34 The stranger who lives as a foreigner with you shall be to you as the native-born among you, and you shall love him as yourself; for you lived as foreigners in the land of Egypt. I am YHWH your God.
כְּאֶזְרָח מִכֶּם יִהְיֶה לָכֶם הַגֵּר ׀ הַגָּר אִתְּכֶם וְאָהַבְתָּ לוֹ כָּמוֹךָ כִּֽי־גֵרִים הֱיִיתֶם בְּאֶרֶץ מִצְרָיִם אֲנִי יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵיכֶֽם׃
35 "'You shall do no unrighteousness in judgment, in measures of length, of weight, or of quantity.

36 You shall have just balances, just weights, a just ephah, and a just hin. I am YHWH your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt.
מֹאזְנֵי צֶדֶק אַבְנֵי־צֶדֶק אֵיפַת צֶדֶק וְהִין צֶדֶק יִהְיֶה לָכֶם אֲנִי יְהוָה אֱלֹֽהֵיכֶם אֲשֶׁר־הוֹצֵאתִי אֶתְכֶם מֵאֶרֶץ מִצְרָֽיִם׃
37 You shall observe all my statutes, and all my ordinances, and do them. I am YHWH.'"
וּשְׁמַרְתֶּם אֶת־כָּל־חֻקֹּתַי וְאֶת־כָּל־מִשְׁפָּטַי וַעֲשִׂיתֶם אֹתָם אֲנִי יְהוָֽה׃
