1 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
2 Speak to all the congregation of the children of Israel, and say to them, You shall be holy: for I the LORD your God am holy.
3 You shall fear every man his mother, and his father, and keep my sabbaths: I am the LORD your God.
4 Turn you not to idols, nor make to yourselves molten gods: I am the LORD your God.
5 And if you offer a sacrifice of peace offerings to the LORD, you shall offer it at your own will.
6 It shall be eaten the same day you offer it, and on the morrow: and if ought remain until the third day, it shall be burnt in the fire.
7 And if it be eaten at all on the third day, it is abominable; it shall not be accepted.
8 Therefore every one that eats it shall bear his iniquity, because he has 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 wholly reap the corners of your field, neither shall you gather the gleanings of your harvest.
10 And you shall not glean your vineyard, neither shall you gather every grape of your vineyard; you shall leave them for the poor and stranger: I am the LORD your God.
11 You shall not steal, neither deal falsely, neither lie one to another.
12 And you shall not swear by my name falsely, neither shall you profane the name of your God: I am the LORD.
13 You shall not defraud your neighbor, neither rob him: the wages of him that is hired shall not abide with you all night until the morning.
14 You shall not curse the deaf, nor put a stumbling block before the blind, but shall fear your God: I am the LORD.
15 You shall do no unrighteousness in judgment: you shall not respect the person of the poor, nor honor the person of the mighty: but in righteousness shall you judge your neighbor.
16 You shall not go up and down as a talebearer among your people: neither shall you stand against the blood of your neighbor; I am the LORD.
17 You shall not hate your brother in your heart: you shall in any wise rebuke your neighbor, and not suffer sin on him.
18 You shall not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of your people, but you shall love your neighbor as yourself: I am the LORD.
19 You shall keep my statutes. You shall not let your cattle engender with a diverse kind: you shall not sow your field with mingled seed: neither shall a garment mingled of linen and woolen come on you.
20 And whoever lies carnally with a woman, that is a female 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.
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.
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 has done: and the sin which he has done shall be forgiven him.
23 And when you shall come into the land, and shall have planted all manner of trees for food, then you shall count the fruit thereof as uncircumcised: three years shall it be as uncircumcised to you: it shall not be eaten of.
24 But in the fourth year all the fruit thereof shall be holy to praise the LORD with.
25 And in the fifth year shall you eat of the fruit thereof, that it may yield to you the increase thereof: I am the LORD your God.
26 You shall not eat any thing with the blood: neither shall you use enchantment, nor observe times.
27 You shall not round the corners of your heads, neither shall you mar the corners of your beard.
28 You shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks on you: I am the LORD.
29 Do not prostitute your daughter, to cause her to be a whore; lest the land fall to prostitution, and the land become full of wickedness.
30 You shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary: I am the LORD.
31 Regard not them that have familiar spirits, neither seek after wizards, 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 fear your God: I am the LORD.
33 And if a stranger sojourn with you in your land, you shall not vex him.
34 But the stranger that dwells with you shall be to you as one born among you, and you shall love him as yourself; for you were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.
35 You shall do no unrighteousness in judgment, in length, in weight, or in measure.
36 Just balances, just weights, a just ephah, and a just hin, shall you have: I am the LORD your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt.
37 Therefore shall you observe all my statutes, and all my judgments, and do them: I am the LORD.
1 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
2 Speak to all the congregation of the children of Israel, and say to them: You shall be holy, for I Jehovah your God am holy.
3 Every one of you shall revere his mother and his father, and keep My Sabbaths: I am Jehovah your God.
4 Do not turn to idols, nor make for yourselves molten gods: I am Jehovah your God.
5 And if you offer a sacrifice of peace offerings unto Jehovah, you shall offer it of your own free will.
6 It shall be eaten the same day you offer it, and on the next day. And if any remains until the third day, it shall be burned with fire.
7 And if it is eaten to be devoured on the third day, it is unclean; it shall not be accepted.
8 Therefore anyone who eats it shall bear his iniquity, because he has profaned the holy thing of Jehovah; and that soul shall be cut off from his people.
9 When you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not completely reap the corners of your field, nor shall you gather the gleanings of your harvest.
10 And you shall not glean your vineyard, nor shall you gather every grape of your vineyard; you shall leave them for the poor and the sojourner: I am Jehovah your God.
11 You shall not steal, nor deceive, nor lie to one another.
12 And you shall not swear by My name for falsehood, nor shall you profane the name of your God: I am Jehovah.
13 You shall not extort your neighbor, nor rob him. The wages of one who is hired shall not remain with you all night until morning.
14 You shall not curse the deaf, nor put a stumbling block before the blind, but shall fear your God: I am Jehovah.
15 You shall do no injustice in judgment. You shall not be partial to the poor, nor honor the person of the mighty. In righteousness you shall judge your neighbor.
16 You shall not go about as a talebearer among your people; nor shall you take a stand against the blood of your neighbor: I am Jehovah.
17 You shall not hate your brother in your heart. You shall reprove to correct your neighbor, and not bear sin because of him.
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 Jehovah.
19 You shall keep My statutes. You shall not breed your livestock with other kinds. You shall not sow your field with mixed seed. Nor shall a garment mixed with linen and wool come upon you.
20 When a man lies with the seed of intercourse with a woman, who is betrothed to a husband, and who has not been ransomed to be redeemed, nor been given her freedom; there shall be punishment, but they shall not be put to death; because she was not free.
21 And he shall bring his trespass offering unto Jehovah, to the door of the tent of meeting, a ram as a trespass offering.
22 The priest shall make atonement for him with the ram of the trespass offering before Jehovah for his sin which he has sinned. And the sin which he has sinned shall be forgiven him.
23 When you come into the land, and have planted all kinds of trees for food, then you shall consider their fruit as uncircumcised. Three years it shall be as uncircumcised to you. It shall not be eaten.
24 But in the fourth year all its fruit shall be holy, for praise unto Jehovah.
25 And in the fifth year you shall eat its fruit, that it may yield to you its increase: I am Jehovah your God.
26 You shall not eat anything with the blood, nor shall you practice divination nor fortunetelling.
27 You shall not shave around the corners of your head, nor shall you spoil the edges of your beard.
28 You shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor put any etched marks on you: I am Jehovah.
29 Do not defile your daughter, to cause her to be a harlot, that the land not fall into prostitution, and the land become full of wickedness.
30 You shall keep My Sabbaths and reverence My sanctuary: I am Jehovah.
31 You shall not turn to mediums nor seek out fortunetellers, to be defiled by them: I am Jehovah your God.
32 You shall rise before the gray headed and honor the presence of an old man, and fear your God: I am Jehovah.
33 And if a stranger sojourns with you in your land, you shall not mistreat him.
34 The stranger who sojourns among you shall be to you as one born among you, and you shall love him as yourself; for you were sojourners in the land of Egypt: I am Jehovah your God.
35 You shall do no injustice in judgment, in measurement of size, weight, or measure.
36 You shall have just scales, just weights, a just ephah, and a just hin: I am Jehovah your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt;
37 therefore you shall keep all My statutes and all My judgments, and do them: I am Jehovah.
