Leviticus 19

1 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

2 “Speak to all the assembly of the people of Israel and say to them, 'You must be holy, for I Yahweh your God am holy.

Speak unto all the assembly of the children of Israel, and say unto them, Holy shall ye be, for I Jehovah your God am holy.

3 Everyone must respect his mother and his father, and you must keep my Sabbaths. I am Yahweh your God.

Ye shall reverence every man his mother, and his father, and my sabbaths shall ye keep: I am Jehovah your God.

4 Do not turn to worthless idols, nor make for yourselves gods out of metal. I am Yahweh your God.

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

5 When you offer a sacrifice of fellowship offerings to Yahweh, you must offer it that you may be accepted.

And if ye sacrifice a sacrifice of peace-offering to Jehovah, ye shall sacrifice it for your acceptance.

6 It must be eaten the same day you offer it, or on the next day. If anything remains until the third day, it must be burned up with fire.

On the day when ye sacrifice it shall it be eaten, and on the morrow; and that which remaineth until the third day shall be burned with fire.

7 If it is eaten at all on the third day, it is unclean meat; it must not be accepted,

And if it be eaten at all on the third day, it is an unclean thing: it shall not be accepted.

8 and everyone who eats it must carry his own guilt because he has defiled what is holy to Yahweh, and that person must be cut off from his people.

And he that eateth it shall bear his iniquity; for he hath profaned the hallowed thing of Jehovah; and that soul shall be cut off from among his peoples.

9 When you reap the harvest of your land, you must not completely reap the corners of your field, neither will you gather all the produce of your harvest.

And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not wholly reap the corners of thy field, and the gleaning of thy harvest thou shalt not gather.

10 You must not gather every grape from your vineyard, nor gather the grapes that have fallen on the ground in your vineyard. You must leave them for the poor and for the foreigner. I am Yahweh your God.

And thy vineyard shalt thou not glean, neither shalt thou gather what hath been left of thy vineyard; thou shalt leave them for the poor and the stranger: I am Jehovah your God.

11 Do not steal. Do not lie. Do not deceive each other.

Ye shall not steal, and ye shall not deal falsely, and ye shall not lie one to another.

12 Do not swear by my name falsely and profane the name of your God. I am Yahweh.

And ye shall not swear by my name falsely, and profane the name of thy God: I am Jehovah.

13 Do not oppress your neighbor or rob him. The wages of a hired servant must not stay with you all night until the morning.

Thou shalt not oppress thy neighbour, neither rob him. The wages of the hired servant shall not abide with thee all night until the morning.

14 Do not curse the deaf or put a stumbling block before the blind. Instead, you must fear your God. I am Yahweh.

Thou shalt not revile a deaf person, and thou shalt not put a stumbling-block before a blind one; but thou shalt fear thy God: I am Jehovah.

15 Do not cause judgment to be false. You must not show favoritism to someone because he is poor, and you must not show favoritism to someone because he is important. Instead, judge your neighbor righteously.

Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment; thou shalt not respect the person of the lowly, nor honour the person of the great; in righteousness shalt thou judge thy neighbour.

16 Do not walk around spreading slander among your people, but seek to protect your neighbor's life. I am Yahweh.

Thou shalt not go about as a talebearer among thy people; thou shalt not stand up against the life of thy neighbour: I am Jehovah.

17 Do not hate your brother in your heart. You must honestly rebuke your neighbor so as not to share in sin because of him.

Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thy heart; thou shalt earnestly rebuke thy neighbour, lest thou bear sin on account of him.

18 Do not take vengeance or hold any grudge against any of your people, but instead love your neighbor as yourself. I am Yahweh.

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

19 You must keep my commands. Do not try to breed your animals with different kinds of other animals. Do not mix two different kinds of seeds when planting your field. Do not wear clothing made of two kinds of material mixed together.

My statutes shall ye observe. Thou shalt not let thy cattle gender with another sort; thou shalt not sow thy field with seed of two sorts; and a garment woven of two materials shall not come upon thee.

20 Whoever sleeps with a slave girl who is promised to a husband, but who has not been ransomed or given her freedom, they must be punished. They must not be put to death because she was not free.

And if a man lie with a woman for copulation, and she is a bondwoman betrothed to a husband, but not at all ransomed, nor hath freedom been given to her, there shall be a chastisement: they shall not be put to death, for she was not free.

21 A man must bring his guilt offering to Yahweh to the entrance to the tent of meeting—a ram as a guilt offering.

And he shall bring his trespass-offering to Jehovah, unto the entrance of the tent of meeting, a ram for a trespass-offering.

22 Then the priest will make atonement for him with the ram for the guilt offering before Yahweh, for the sin that he has committed. Then the sin which he has committed will be forgiven.

And the priest shall make atonement for him with the ram of the trespass-offering before Jehovah for his sin which he hath done; and the sin which he hath done shall be forgiven him.

23 When you come into the land and have planted all kinds of trees for food, then you must regard the fruit they produce as forbidden to be eaten. The fruit must be forbidden to you for three years. It must not be eaten.

And when ye come into the land and plant all manner of trees for food, then ye shall count its fruit as uncircumcised, three years shall it be uncircumcised unto you: it shall not be eaten of;

24 But in the fourth year all the fruit will be holy, an offering of praise to Yahweh.

and in the fourth year all the fruit thereof shall be holy for praise to Jehovah;

25 In the fifth you may eat the fruit, having waited so that the trees might produce more. I am Yahweh your God.

and in the fifth year shall ye eat the fruit thereof, that it may increase unto you the produce thereof: I am Jehovah your God.

26 Do not eat any meat with blood still in it. Do not consult spirits about the future, and do not seek to control others by supernatural powers.

Ye shall eat nothing with the blood. — Ye shall not practise enchantment, nor use auguries.

27 You will not round off the corners of the hair on the sides of your head or shave off the edge of your beard.

— Ye shall not shave the corners of your head round, neither shalt thou mutilate the corners of thy beard.

28 Do not cut your body for the dead or put tattoo marks on your body. I am Yahweh.

And cuttings for a dead person shall ye not make in your flesh, nor put any tattoo writing upon you: I am Jehovah.

29 Do not disgrace your daughter by making her a prostitute, or the nation will fall to prostitution and the land will become full of wickedness.

— Do not profane thy daughter, to give her up to whoredom; lest the land practise whoredom, and the land become full of infamy.

30 You must keep my Sabbaths and honor the sanctuary of my tabernacle. I am Yahweh.

— My sabbaths shall ye keep, and my sanctuary shall ye reverence: I am Jehovah.

31 Do not turn to those who talk with the dead or with spirits. Do not seek them out, or they will defile you. I am Yahweh your God.

— Turn not unto necromancers and unto soothsayers; seek not after them to make yourselves unclean: I am Jehovah your God.

32 You must rise before the gray-headed person and honor the presence of an old man. You must fear your God. I am Yahweh.

Before the hoary head thou shalt rise up, and shalt honour the face of an old man; and thou shalt fear thy God: I am Jehovah.

33 If a foreigner lives among you in your land, you must not do him any wrong.

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

34 The foreigner who lives with you must be to you like the native-born Israelite who lives among you, and you must love him as yourself, because you were foreigners in the land of Egypt. I am Yahweh your God.

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

35 Do not use false measures when measuring length, weight, or quantity.

Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment, in measure of length, in weight, and in measure of capacity:

36 You must use just scales, just weights, a just ephah, and a just hin. I am Yahweh 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 Jehovah your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt.

37 You must obey all my decrees and all my laws, and do them. I am Yahweh.'”

And ye shall observe all my statutes, and all mine ordinances, and do them: I am Jehovah.
