Leviticus 19

¹And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

²Speak to all the congregation of the children of Israel and say to them: you shall be holy, for I the LORD, the God of you all, am holy.

³Every one of you shall revere his mother and his father, and you shall keep my Sabbaths. I am the LORD your God.

⁴Do not turn to idols or make for yourselves cast metal gods. I am the LORD, God of you all.

⁵And when you sacrifice a sacrifice of peace offerings to the LORD, you shall sacrifice it for your acceptance.

⁶On the day you sacrifice it, it shall be eaten, and on the day after; and whatever remains until the third day shall be burned with fire.

⁷But if it is eaten at all on the third day, it is refuse — it shall not be accepted.

⁸And whoever eats it shall bear his iniquity, for he has profaned the holy thing of the LORD, and that person shall be cut off from among his people.

⁹And when you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not reap your field to its very edge, and the gleanings of your harvest you shall not gather.

¹⁰And you shall not go over your vineyard a second time or gather the fallen grapes of your vineyard; you shall leave them for the poor and for the sojourner. I am the LORD, God of you all.

¹¹You shall not steal, and you shall not lie, and you shall not deal falsely with one another.

¹²And you shall not swear by my name falsely, and so profane the name of your God. I am the LORD.

¹³You shall not oppress your neighbor, and you shall not rob him. The wages of a hired worker shall not remain with you until morning.

¹⁴You shall not curse the deaf, and before the blind you shall not put a stumbling block; and you shall fear your God. I am the LORD.

¹⁵You shall not do injustice in judgment; you shall not lift up the face of the poor, and you shall not honor the face of the great; in righteousness you shall judge your neighbor.

¹⁶You shall not go about as a slanderer among your kinspeople; you shall not stand against the blood of your neighbor. I am the LORD.

¹⁷You shall not hate your brother in your heart; you shall surely rebuke your neighbor, and you shall not bear sin on his account.

¹⁸You shall not take vengeance, and you shall not bear a grudge against the sons of your people; and you shall love your neighbor as yourself: I am the LORD.

¹⁹My statutes you shall keep. Your livestock you shall not mate with two different kinds; your field you shall not sow with two different kinds; and a garment of two different kinds, of sha'atnez, shall not come upon you.

²⁰And if a man lies with a woman in a lying of seed, and she is a maidservant designated for a man, and she has not been ransomed, nor has freedom been given to her, there shall be due punishment; they shall not be put to death, for she had not been freed.

²¹And he shall bring his guilt offering to the LORD, to the entrance of the Tent of Meeting — a ram as a guilt offering.

²²And the priest shall make atonement for him with the ram of the guilt offering before the LORD, for his sin that he has sinned; and he shall be forgiven of his sin that he has sinned.

²³And when you come into the land and plant any tree for food, you shall treat its fruit as uncircumcised — its foreskin. Three years it shall be to you all as uncircumcised; it shall not be eaten.

²⁴And in the fourth year all its fruit shall be holy, hillulim praises to the LORD.

²⁵And in the fifth year you shall eat its fruit, to add its produce for you: I am the LORD, God of you all.

²⁶You shall not eat over the blood; you shall not practice divination, and you shall not practice augury.

²⁷You shall not round the edge of your head, and you shall not mar the edge of your beard.

²⁸And a gash for the dead you shall not make in the flesh of you all; and a written mark of a tattoo you shall not make in you all. I am the LORD.

²⁹Do not profane your daughter by making her a prostitute, lest the land prostitute itself and the land fill with lewdness.

³⁰My sabbaths you shall keep, and my sanctuary you shall revere: I am the LORD.

³¹Do not turn to the mediums or to the spiritists; do not seek them to defile yourselves by them. I am the LORD, God of you all.

³²Before the gray-haired you shall rise, and you shall honor the face of an elder, and you shall fear your God. I am the LORD.

³³And when a sojourner sojourns with you in your land, you shall not oppress him.

³⁴Like a native-born from among you shall the sojourner who sojourns with you be to you all, and you shall love him as yourself, for sojourners you were in the land of Egypt. I am the LORD, God of you all.

³⁵You shall not commit injustice in judgment, in measurement, in weight, or in liquid measure.

³⁶Balances of righteousness, stones of righteousness, an ephah of righteousness, and a hin of righteousness shall there be for you all. I am the LORD, God of you all, who brought you out from the land of Egypt.

³⁷And you shall keep all my statutes and all my ordinances, and you shall do them. I am the LORD.
