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 honour 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.
