| 1 And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, 2 Speak unto all the
congregation of the children of Israel, and say unto them, Ye shall be holy;
for I Jehovah your God am holy. 3 Ye shall fear every man his mother, and
his father; and ye shall keep my sabbaths: I am Jehovah your God. 4 Turn
ye not unto idols, nor make to yourselves molten gods: I am Jehovah your
God.
5 And when ye offer a sacrifice of peace-offerings unto Jehovah, ye shall
offer it that ye may be accepted. 6 It shall be eaten the same day ye
offer it, and on the morrow: and if aught remain until the third day, it
shall be burnt with fire. 7 And if it be eaten at all on the third day, it
is an abomination; it shall not be accepted: 8 but every one that eateth
it shall bear his iniquity, because he hath profaned the holy thing of
Jehovah: and that soul shall be cut off from 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 gleaning of thy
harvest. 10 And thou shalt not glean thy vineyard, neither shalt thou
gather the fallen fruit of thy vineyard; thou shalt leave them for the poor
and for the sojourner: I am Jehovah your God.
11 Ye shall not steal; neither shall ye deal falsely, nor lie one to
another. 12 And ye shall not swear by my name falsely, and profane the
name of thy God: I am Jehovah.
13 Thou shalt not oppress thy neighbor, nor rob him: the wages of a hired
servant shall not abide with thee all night until the morning. 14 Thou
shalt not curse the deaf, nor put a stumblingblock before the blind; but thou
shalt fear thy God: I am Jehovah.
15 Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment: thou shalt not respect the
person of the poor, nor honor the person of the mighty; but in righteousness
shalt thou judge thy neighbor. 16 Thou shalt not go up and down as a
talebearer among thy people: neither shalt thou stand against the blood of
thy neighbor: I am Jehovah.
17 Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thy heart: thou shalt surely rebuke
thy neighbor, and not bear sin because of him. 18 Thou shalt not take
vengeance, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people; but thou
shalt love thy neighbor as thyself: I am Jehovah.
19 Ye shall keep my statutes. Thou shalt not let thy cattle gender with a
diverse kind: thou shalt not sow thy field with two kinds of seed: neither
shall there come upon thee a garment of two kinds of stuff mingled together.
20 And whosoever lieth carnally with a woman, that is a bondmaid,
betrothed to a husband, and not at all redeemed, nor freedom given her; they
shall be punished; they shall not be put to death, because she was not free.
21 And he shall bring his trespass-offering unto Jehovah, unto the door of
the tent of meeting, even a ram for a trespass-offering. 22 And the priest
shall make atonement for him with the ram of the trespass-offering before
Jehovah for his sin which he hath sinned: and the sin which he hath sinned
shall be forgiven him. 23 And when ye shall come into the land, and shall
have planted all manner of trees for food, then ye shall count the fruit
thereof as their uncircumcision: three years shall they be as uncircumcised
unto you; it shall not be eaten. 24 But in the fourth year all the fruit
thereof shall be holy, for giving praise unto Jehovah. 25 And in the fifth
year shall ye eat of the fruit thereof, that it may yield unto you the
increase thereof: I am Jehovah your God.
26 Ye shall not eat anything with the blood: neither shall ye use
enchantments, nor practise augury. 27 Ye shall not round the corners of
your heads, neither shalt thou mar the corners of thy beard. 28 Ye shall
not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon
you: I am Jehovah.
29 Profane not thy daughter, to make her a harlot; lest the land fall to
whoredom, and the land become full of wickedness. 30 Ye shall keep my
sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary; I am Jehovah.
31 Turn ye not unto them that have familiar spirits, nor unto the wizards;
seek them not out, to be defiled by them: I am Jehovah your God.
32 Thou shalt rise up before the hoary head, and honor the face of the old
man, and thou shalt fear thy God: I am Jehovah.
33 And if a stranger sojourn with thee in your land, ye shall not do him
wrong. 34 The stranger that sojourneth with you shall be unto you as the
home-born among you, and thou shalt love him as thyself; for ye were
sojourners in the land of Egypt: I am Jehovah your God.
35 Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment, in measures of length, of
weight, or of quantity. 36 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 And ye shall observe all my statutes, and all mine
ordinances, and do them: I am Jehovah.
