Leviticus 19:1-13 ▼

1 Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying:

2 “Speak to all the congregation of the sons of Israel and say to them, ‘You shall be holy, for I the LORD your God am holy.

3 Every one of you shall revere his mother and his father, and you shall keep My Sabbaths; I am the LORD your God.

4 Do not turn to idols or make for yourselves cast metal gods; I am the LORD your God.

5 ‘Now when you offer a sacrifice of peace offerings to the LORD, you shall offer it so that you may be accepted.

6 It shall be eaten on the same day you offer it, and on the next day; but what remains until the third day shall be burned with fire.

7 So if it is eaten at all on the third day, it is unclean; it will not be accepted.

8 And everyone who eats it will bear the consequences for his guilt, because he has profaned the holy thing of the LORD; and that person shall be cut off from his people.

9 ‘Now when you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not reap to the very edges of your field, nor shall you gather the gleanings of your harvest.

10 And you shall not glean your vineyard, nor shall you gather the fallen grapes of your vineyard; you shall leave them for the needy and for the stranger. I am the LORD your God.

11 ‘You shall not steal, nor deal falsely, nor lie to one another.

12 And you shall not swear falsely by My name, so as to profane the name of your God; I am the LORD.

13 ‘You shall not oppress your neighbor, nor rob him. The wages of a hired worker are not to remain with you all night until morning.
