Leviticus 19
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.
