Leviticus
Chapter 19
- 1
And the LORD 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 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.
- 4
Turn ye not unto idols, nor make to yourselves molten gods: I am the LORD your God.
- 5
And if ye offer a sacrifice of peace offerings unto the LORD, ye shall offer it at your own will.
- 6
It shall be eaten the same day ye 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 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 11
Ye shall not steal, neither deal falsely, neither lie one to another.
- 12
And ye shall not swear by my name falsely, neither shalt thou 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.
- 14
Thou shalt not curse the deaf, nor put a stumblingblock before the blind, but shalt fear thy God: I am the LORD.
- 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 neighbour.
- 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.
- 17
Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thine heart: thou shalt in any wise rebuke thy neighbour, and not suffer sin upon 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.
- 19
Ye shall keep my statutes. Thou shalt not let thy cattle gender with a diverse kind: thou shalt not sow thy field with mingled seed: neither shall a garment mingled of linen and woollen come upon thee.
- 20
And whosoever lieth carnally with a woman, that is a bondmaid, 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 unto the LORD, unto 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 hath done: and the sin which he hath done 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 uncircumcised: three years shall it be as uncircumcised unto you: it shall not be eaten of.
- 24
But in the fourth year all the fruit thereof shall be holy to praise the LORD withal.
- 25
And in the fifth year shall ye eat of the fruit thereof, that it may yield unto you 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.
- 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 the LORD.
- 29
Do not prostitute thy daughter, to cause her to be a whore; 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 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
Thou shalt rise up before the hoary head, and honour the face of the old man, and fear thy God: I am the LORD.
- 33
And if a stranger sojourn with thee in your land, ye shall not vex him.
- 34
But the stranger that dwelleth with you shall be unto 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.
- 35
Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment, in meteyard, 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, which 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.
