Leviticus 19:1-13 ▼

1 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,

2 “Speak to all the congregation of the sons of Israel, and you have said to them: You are holy, because I, your God YHWH, [am] holy.

3 You each fear his mother and his father, and you keep My Sabbaths; I [am] your God YHWH.

4 You do not turn to the idols, and you do not make a molten god for yourselves; I [am] your God YHWH.

5 And when you sacrifice a sacrifice of peace-offerings to YHWH, you sacrifice it at your pleasure;

6 it is eaten in the day of your sacrificing [it], and on the next day, and that which is left to the third day is burned with fire,

7 and if it is really eaten on the third day, it [is] an abomination, it is not pleasing,

8 and he who is eating it bears his iniquity, for he has defiled the holy thing of YHWH, and that person has been cut off from his people.

9 And in your reaping the harvest of your land you do not completely reap the corner of your field, and you do not gather the gleaning of your harvest,

10 and you do not glean your vineyard, even the omitted part of your vineyard you do not gather, you leave them for the poor and for the sojourner; I [am] your God YHWH.

11 You do not steal, nor feign, nor lie—each against his fellow.

12 And you do not swear by My Name for falsehood, or you have defiled the Name of your God; I [am] YHWH.

13 You do not oppress your neighbor, nor take plunder; the wages of the hired worker do not remain with you until morning.
