Commandments for Holiness

1And the LORDE talked with Moses, and sayde:

2Speake to the whole congregacion of the children of Israel, and saye vnto them: Ye shall be holy, for I am holy, euen the LORDE youre God. 3Euery one feare his father and his mother. Kepe my holy dayes: for I am the LORDE youre God. 4Ye shal not turne youre selues vnto Idols, & ye shal make you no goddes of metall: for I am the LORDE youre God.

5And whan ye wyll offre health offerynges vnto the LORDE, then shal ye offre the, that he maye be mercifull vnto you, 6and ye shal eate them the same daye that ye offre them, and on the morow: what so euer is left on the thirde daye, shalbe burnt with fyre. 7But yf eny man eate therof vpon the thirde daye, then is he vnholy, and shall not be accepted, 8and the same eater shal beare his synne, because he hath vnhalowed the Sanctuary of the LORDE: and soch a soule shalbe roted out from amonge his people.

Love Your Neighbor
(Romans 13:8–10)

9Whan thou reapest thy londe, thou shalt not reape downe the vttemost borders of it rounde aboute, ner gather it all cleane vp. 10Euen so likewyse thou shalt not plucke thy vynyarde cleane also, ner gather vp the grapes that are fallen downe, but shalt leaue them for ye poore and straungers: for I am the LORDE youre God.

11Ye shal not steale, nether lye, ner deale falsely one with another. 12Ye shal not sweare falsely by my name, & so to vnhalowe the name of thy God: for I am the LORDE.

13Thou shalt do yi neghboure no wronge, ner robbe him. The workmas laboure shal not byde with the vntyll the mornynge. 14Thou shalt not curse the deaf. Thou shalt put no stomblynge blocke before ye blinde, but shalt feare thy God: for I am the LORDE.

15Ye shall not deale wrongeously in iudgment, nether shal ye accepte the personne of the poore, ner honoure the parsonne of the greate, but thou shalt iudge thy neghboure righteously. 16Thou shalt let no preuy accuser go amoge ye people. Nether shalt thou stonde agaynst yi neghbours bloude: for I am ye LORDE.

17Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thine hert, but shalt tell yi neghboure his faute, that thou beare not synne for his sake. 18Thou shalt not auenge thy self, ner beare euell will agaynst the childre of thy people. Thou shalt loue thy neghboure, as thy self: for I am the LORDE.

Keep My Statutes

19My statutes shal ye kepe, that thou let not yi catell gendre with beestes of another kynde: nether sowe thy felde with myngled sede. And let no garment come vpon the, yt is mixte with wollen and lynnen.

20Whan a man lyeth with a woman, and hath to do with her, which is a bonde woman, and hath bene medled withall of another man, but not lowsed out, ner hath optayned fredome, it shalbe punyshed, but they shal not suffre death, because she was not fre. 21But he shal brynge for his trespace vnto ye LORDE (euen before the dore of the Tabernacle of wytnesse) a ramme for a trespace offerynge: 22and the prest shal make an attonement for him with the trespace offerynge before the LORDE, concernynge the synne that he hath done: so shall God be mercifull vnto him, as concernynge his synne which he hath done.

23What tyme as ye are come in to the londe and plante all maner trees wherof men eate, ye shall circumcise the foreskynne of the same with their frutes: thre yeares shall ye holde them for vncircumcysed, so that ye eate them not: 24but in the fourth yeare shall all their frutes be holy and praysed vnto ye LORDE. 25In the fifth yeare shall ye eate the frutes, and gather them in: for I am ye LORDE youre God.

26Ye shal eate nothinge wt bloude. Ye shall not regarde ye foules cryenge, ner chose out dayes. 27Ye shal shaue no crownes vpo youre heade, nether shalt thou clyppe thy beerde cleane off. 28Ye shal rente out no markes in youre body (for eny that is deed) ner make lettres vpo you: for I am the LORDE.

29Thou shalt not holde thy doughter to whordome, that the londe fall not to whordome, and waxe full of wickednesse. 30Repe my holy dayes, and stonde in awe of my Sanctuary; for I am the LORDE.

31Ye shal not turne yor selues to ye Soythsayers, and axe nothinge at the expounders of tokes, that ye be not defyled by them: for I am the LORDE youre God.

32Thou shalt ryse vp before a graye heade, and shalt geue reuerence vnto the aged. For thou shalt feare God: for I am ye LORDE.

33Whan there dwelleth a straunger amonge you in youre londe, ye shall not vexe him. 34He shal dwell with you, euen as one that is at home amonge you, & thou shalt loue him as yi self: for ye youre selues also were straungers in the lande of Egipte. I am the LORDE youre God.

35Ye shal not deale wrogeously in iudgmet, with meteyarde, with weight, with measure: 36A true balaunce, a true weight, a true Epha, a true Hin shalbe amoge you. For I am the LORDE youre God, which brought you out of the londe of Egipte, 37that ye shulde kepe & do all my statutes and lawes: for I am the LORDE.
