Leviticus 19:1-22 ▼

1 And Jehovah will speak to Moses, saying,

2 Speak to the assembly of the sons of Israel, and say to them, Ye shall be holy, for I Jehovah your God am holy.

3 Ye shall fear each his mother and his father, and my Sabbaths ye shall watch: I am Jehovah your God.

4 Ye shall not turn to vain things, and molten gods ye shall not make to yourselves: I am Jehovah your God.

5 And when ye shall sacrifice a sacrifice of peace to Jehovah, ye shall sacrifice at your will.

6 In the day of your sacrifice it shall be eaten, and on the morrow: and that remaining till the third day shall be burnt in fire.

7 And if eating, it shall be eaten in the third day, it is abomination; it shall not be accepted.

8 And he eating it shall bear his iniquity, for he profaned the holy thing of Jehovah; and that soul was cut off from its people.

9 And in your reaping the harvest of your land thou shalt not finish to reap the extremity of thy field, and thou shalt not gather the gleaning of thy harvest.

10 And thou shalt not glean thy vineyard, and the scattering of thy vineyard thou shalt not glean; to the poor and to the stranger thou shalt leave them: I am Jehovah your God.

11 Ye shall not steal and ye shall not deceive, and ye shall not lie each to his neighbor.

12 And ye shall not swear in my name for falsehood, and profane the name of thy God: I Jehovah.

13 Thou shalt not oppress thy neighbor, and thou shalt not rob: the wages of the hireling shall not remain with thee till morning.

14 Thou shalt not curse the deaf, and before the blind thou shalt not give a stumbling block, and thou shalt fear thy God: I Jehovah.

15 Ye shall not do evil in judgment; thou shalt not take up the face of the poor; thou shalt not reverence the face of the great: in justice shalt thou judge thy neighbor.

16 Thou shalt not go a slanderer among thy people; thou shalt not stand upon the blood of thy neighbor: I Jehovah.

17 Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thy heart: rebuking, thou shalt rebuke thy neighbor, and thou shalt not take sin upon him.

18 Thou shalt not avenge thyself nor keep anger with the sons of thy people, and didst love thy neighbor as thyself. I Jehovah.

19 My laws shall ye watch: thou shalt not let thy cattle gender with two diverse kinds: thy field thou shalt not sow with two diverse kinds; and a garment of two diverse kinds (of linen and woolen) shall not come upon thee.

20 And when a man shall lie with a woman with effusion of seed, and she a maid-servant betrothed to a man, and not redeemed by ransoming, and freedom not given to her, there shall be a punishment: they shall not die because she was not free.

21 And he brought his trespass to Jehovah, to the door of the tent of appointment, a ram of trespass.

22 And the priest expiated for him with the ram of the trespass, before Jehovah, for his sin which he sinned; and his sin which he sinned was forgiven to him.
