Lev 19
1
And YHWH 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 YHWH your God am holy.
3
You shall fear every man his mother, and his father; and you shall keep my sabbaths:
I am YHWH your God.
4
Turn you not to idols, nor make to yourselves molten gods: I am YHWH your God.
5
And when you offer a sacrifice of peace-offerings to YHWH, you shall offer it that
you may be accepted.
6
It shall be eaten the same day you offer it, and on the morrow: and if anything 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 eats it shall bear his iniquity, because he has profaned the holy
thing of YHWH: and that soul shall be cut off from 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 gleaning of your harvest.
10
And you shall not glean your vineyard, neither shall you gather the fallen fruit of
your vineyard; you shall leave them for the poor and for the sojourner: I am YHWH
your God.
11
You shall not steal; neither shall you deal falsely, nor lie one to another.
12
And you shall not swear by my name falsely, and profane the name of your God: I am
YHWH.
13
You shall not oppress your neighbor, nor rob him: the wages of a hired servant 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 you
shall fear your God: I am YHWH.
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 YHWH.
17
You shall not hate your brother in your heart: you shall surely rebuke 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 YHWH.
19
You shall keep my statutes. You shall not let your cattle gender with a diverse kind:
you shall not sow your field with two kinds of seed: neither shall there come upon
you a garment of two kinds of stuff mingled together.
20
And whoever lies 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 to YHWH, to 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 YHWH for his sin which he has sinned: and the sin which he has sinned 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 its fruit as their uncircumcision: three years
shall they be as uncircumcised to you; it shall not be eaten.
24
But in the fourth year all its fruit shall be holy, for giving praise to YHWH.
25
And in the fifth year shall you eat of its fruit, that it may yield to you
its increase: I am YHWH your God.
26
You shall not eat anything with the blood: neither shall you use enchantments, nor
practise augury.
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 upon
you: I am YHWH.
29
Profane not your daughter, to make her a harlot; lest the land fall to whoredom, and
the land become full of wickedness.
30
You shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary; I am YHWH.
31
Turn you not to them that have familiar spirits, nor to the wizards; seek them not
out, to be defiled by them: I am YHWH your God.
32
You shall rise up before the hoary head, and honor the face of the old man, and you
shall fear your God: I am YHWH.
33
And if a stranger sojourn with you in your land, you shall not do him wrong.
34
The stranger that sojourns with you shall be to you as the home-born among you, and
you shall love him as yourself; for you were sojourners in the land of Egypt: I am
YHWH your God.
35
You 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 you have: I am YHWH
your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt.
37
And you shall observe all my statutes, and all mine ordinances, and do them: I am
YHWH.
