1 And the LORD spake
unto Moses, saying,
2 Speak 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.
3 Ye shall fear every man his
mother, and his father, and keep my sabbaths: I am the LORD your
God.
4 Turn ye not unto idols, nor make
to yourselves molten gods: I am the LORD your God.
5 And if ye offer a sacrifice of
peace offerings unto the LORD, ye shall offer it at your own will.
6 It shall be eaten the same day ye
offer it, and on the morrow: and if ought remain until the third day, it
shall be burnt in the fire.
7 And if it be eaten at all on the
third day, it is abominable; it shall not be accepted.
8 Therefore every one that
eateth it shall bear his iniquity, because he hath profaned the hallowed
thing of the LORD: and that soul shall be cut off from among his people.
9 And when ye reap the harvest of
your land, thou shalt not wholly reap the corners of thy field, neither
shalt thou gather the gleanings of thy harvest.
10 And thou shalt not glean thy
vineyard, neither shalt thou gather every grape of thy vineyard;
thou shalt leave them for the poor and stranger: I am the LORD your
God.
11 Ye shall not steal,
neither deal falsely, neither lie one to another.
12 And ye shall not swear by my name
falsely, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I am the
LORD.
13 Thou shalt not defraud thy
neighbour, neither rob him: the wages of him that is hired shall
not abide with thee all night until the morning.
14 Thou shalt not curse the deaf,
nor put a stumblingblock before the blind, but shalt fear thy God: I am
the LORD.
15 Ye shall do no unrighteousness in
judgment: thou shalt not respect the person of the poor, nor honour the
person of the mighty: but in righteousness shalt thou judge thy
neighbour.
16 Thou shalt not go up and down as
a talebearer among thy people: neither shalt thou stand against the blood
of thy neighbour: I am the LORD.
17 Thou shalt not hate thy brother
in thine heart: thou shalt in any wise rebuke thy neighbour, and not
suffer sin upon him.
18 Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear
any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy
neighbour as thyself: I am the LORD.
19 Ye shall keep my
statutes. Thou shalt not let thy cattle gender with a diverse kind: thou
shalt not sow thy field with mingled seed: neither shall a garment mingled
of linen and woollen come upon thee.
20 And whosoever lieth carnally with
a woman, that is a bondmaid, betrothed to an husband, and not at
all redeemed, nor freedom given her; she shall be scourged; they shall not
be put to death, because she was not free.
21 And he shall bring his trespass
offering unto the LORD, unto the door of the tabernacle of the
congregation, even a ram for a trespass offering.
22 And the priest shall make an
atonement for him with the ram of the trespass offering before the LORD
for his sin which he hath done: and the sin which he hath done shall be
forgiven him.
23 And when ye shall come into the
land, and shall have planted all manner of trees for food, then ye shall
count the fruit thereof as uncircumcised: three years shall it be as
uncircumcised unto you: it shall not be eaten of.
24 But in the fourth year all the
fruit thereof shall be holy to praise the LORD withal.
25 And in the fifth year shall ye
eat of the fruit thereof, that it may yield unto you the increase thereof:
I am the LORD your God.
26 Ye shall not eat any thing
with the blood: neither shall ye use enchantment, nor observe times.
27 Ye shall not round the corners of
your heads, neither shalt thou mar the corners of thy beard.
28 Ye shall not make any cuttings in
your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the
LORD.
29 Do not prostitute thy daughter,
to cause her to be a whore; lest the land fall to whoredom, and the land
become full of wickedness.
30 Ye shall keep my
sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary: I am the LORD.
31 Regard not them that have
familiar spirits, neither seek after wizards, to be defiled by them: I am
the LORD your God.
32 Thou shalt rise up before the
hoary head, and honour the face of the old man, and fear thy God: I am
the LORD.
33 And if a stranger sojourn with
thee in your land, ye shall not vex him.
34 But the stranger that
dwelleth with you shall be unto you as one born among you, and thou shalt
love him as thyself; for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am
the LORD your God.
35 Ye shall do no unrighteousness in
judgment, in meteyard, in weight, or in measure.
36 Just balances, just weights, a
just ephah, and a just hin, shall ye have: I am the LORD your God,
which brought you out of the land of Egypt.
37 Therefore shall ye observe all my
statutes, and all my judgments, and do them: I am the LORD.
