Leviticus 19

1 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

The Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

2 Speak to all the congregation of the children of Israel, and say to them, Ye shall be holy: for I the LORD 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 keep my sabbaths: 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 Turn ye not to idols, nor make to yourselves molten gods: 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 offerings to the LORD, ye shall offer it at your own will.

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

6 It shall be eaten the same day ye offer it, and on the next day: and if any thing shall remain until the third day, it shall be burnt in the 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 it shall be eaten at all on the third day, it is abominable; it shall not be accepted.

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

8 Therefore every one that 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 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, neither shalt thou gather every grape of thy vineyard; thou shalt leave them for the poor and stranger: 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 deal falsely, neither 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, neither shalt thou 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 defraud thy neighbour, neither rob him: the wages of him that is hired shall not abide with thee all night until the 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 stumblingblock before the blind, but shalt fear 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 honour the person of the mighty: but in righteousness shalt thou judge thy neighbour.

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: neither shalt thou stand against the blood of thy neighbour: 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 surely rebuke thy neighbour, and not allow sin upon 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 neighbour 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 Ye shall keep my statutes. Thou shalt not let thy cattle breed with another kind: thou shalt not sow thy field with mixed seed: neither shall a garment of linen and woollen woven together 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 whoever lieth carnally with a woman, that is a slave, betrothed to an husband, and not at all redeemed, nor freedom given her; she shall be scourged; 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 to the LORD, to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, even 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 the sin which he hath done shall be forgiven him.

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 shall come into the land, and shall have planted all manner of trees for food, then ye shall count its fruit as uncircumcised: three years shall it be as uncircumcised to you: it shall not be eaten of.

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 all its fruit shall be holy to praise the LORD with.

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, that it may yield to you its increase: 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 any thing with the blood: neither shall ye use enchantment, nor observe times.

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

27 Ye shall not shave around the sides of your heads, neither shalt thou mar the corners of thy beard.

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

28 Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor tattoo any marks upon you: 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 prostitute thy daughter, to cause her to be an harlot; lest the land should fall to harlotry, and the land become full of wickedness.

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

30 Ye shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary: I am the LORD.

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

31 Regard not them that have mediums, neither seek after wizards, 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 Thou shalt rise up before the hoary head, and honour the face of the old man, and fear 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 shall sojourn with thee in your land, ye shall not oppress him.

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

34 But the stranger that dwelleth with you shall be to you as one born among 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 length, in weight, or in volume.

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 brought you 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 Therefore shall ye observe all my statutes, and all my judgments, and do them: I am the LORD.

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