Leviticus Chapter 19

1And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,

2Speak 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.

3Ye shall fear every man his mother and his father, and shall keep my Sabbath: for I am the Lord your God.

4Ye shall not turn unto idols, nor make you molten gods: I am the Lord your God.

5And when ye shall offer a peace offering unto the Lord, ye shall offer it freely.

6It shall be eaten the day ye offer it, or on the morrow: and that which remaineth until the third day, shall be burnt in the fire.

7For if it be eaten the third day, it shall be unclean, it shall not be accepted.

8Therefore he that eateth it, shall bear his iniquity, because he hath defiled the hallowed thing of the Lord, and that person shall be cut off from his people.

9When ye reap the harvest of your land, ye shall not reap every corner of your field, neither shalt thou gather the gleanings of thy harvest.

10Thou shalt not gather the grapes of thy vineyard clean, neither gather every grape of thy vineyard, but thou shalt leave them for the poor and for the stranger: I am the Lord your God.

11Ye shall not steal, neither deal falsely, neither lie one to another.

12Also ye shall not swear by my Name falsely, neither shalt thou defile the Name of thy God: I am the Lord.

13Thou shalt not do thy neighbor wrong, neither rob him. The workman’s hire shall not abide with thee until the morning.

14Thou shalt not curse the deaf, neither put a stumbling block before the blind, but shalt fear thy God: I am the Lord.

15Ye shall not do unjustly in judgment: Thou shalt not favor the person of the poor, nor honor the person of the mighty, but thou shalt judge thy neighbor justly.

16Thou shalt not walk about with tales among thy people: Thou shalt not stand against the blood of thy neighbor: I am the Lord.

17Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thine heart, but thou shalt plainly rebuke thy neighbor, and suffer him not to sin.

18Thou shalt not avenge, nor be mindful of wrong against the children of thy people, but shalt love thy neighbor as thyself: I am the Lord.

19Ye shall keep mine ordinances. Thou shalt not let thy cattle gender with others of divers kinds. Thou shalt not sow thy field with mingled seed, neither shall a garment of divers things, as of linen and woolen come upon thee.

20Whosoever also lieth and meddleth with a woman that is a bondmaid, affianced to a husband, and not redeemed, nor freedom given her, she shall be scourged, but they shall not die, because she is not made free.

21And he shall bring for his trespass offering unto the Lord, at the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, a ram for a trespass offering.

22Then the Priest shall make an atonement for him with the ram of the trespass offering before the Lord, concerning his sin which he hath done, and pardon shall be given him for his sin which he hath committed.

23Also when ye shall come into the land, and have planted every tree for meat, ye shall count the fruit thereof as uncircumcised: three years shall it be uncircumcised unto you: it shall not be eaten:

24But in the fourth year all the fruit thereof shall be holy to the praise of the Lord.

25And the fifth year shall ye eat of the fruit of it, that it may yield to you the increase thereof: I am the Lord your God.

26Ye shall not eat the flesh with the blood: ye shall not use witchcraft, nor observe times.

27Ye shall not cut round the corners of your heads, neither shalt thou mar the tufts of thy beard.

28Ye shall not cut your flesh for the dead, nor make any print of a mark upon you: I am the Lord.

29Thou shalt not make thy daughter common, to cause her to be a whore, lest the land also fall to whoredom, and the land be full of wickedness.

30Ye shall keep my Sabbaths, and reverence my Sanctuary: I am the Lord.

31Ye shall not regard them that work with spirits, neither Soothsayers: ye shall not seek to them to be defiled by them, I am the Lord your God.

32Thou shalt rise up before the hoary head, and honor the person of the old man, and dread thy God: I am the Lord.

33And if a stranger sojourn with thee in your land, ye shall not vex him.

34But the stranger that dwelleth with you, shall be as one of yourselves, and thou shalt love him as thyself: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.

35Ye shall not do unjustly in judgment, in line, in weight, or in measure.

36You shall have just balances, true weights, a true Ephah, and a true Hin, I am the Lord your God, which have brought you out of the land of Egypt.

37Therefore shall ye observe all mine ordinances, and all my judgments, and do them: I am the Lord.
