Leviticus 19:1-37 LSV

[1] And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying, [2] “Speak to all the congregation of the sons of Israel, and you have said to them: You are holy, because I, your God YHWH, [am] holy. [3] You each fear his mother and his father, and you keep My Sabbaths; I [am] your God YHWH. [4] You do not turn to the idols, and you do not make a molten god for yourselves; I [am] your God YHWH. [5] And when you sacrifice a sacrifice of peace-offerings to YHWH, you sacrifice it at your pleasure; [6] it is eaten in the day of your sacrificing [it], and on the next day, and that which is left to the third day is burned with fire, [7] and if it is really eaten on the third day, it [is] an abomination, it is not pleasing, [8] and he who is eating it bears his iniquity, for he has defiled the holy thing of YHWH, and that person has been cut off from his people. [9] And in your reaping the harvest of your land you do not completely reap the corner of your field, and you do not gather the gleaning of your harvest, [10] and you do not glean your vineyard, even the omitted part of your vineyard you do not gather, you leave them for the poor and for the sojourner; I [am] your God YHWH. [11] You do not steal, nor feign, nor lie—each against his fellow. [12] And you do not swear by My Name for falsehood, or you have defiled the Name of your God; I [am] YHWH. [13] You do not oppress your neighbor, nor take plunder; the wages of the hired worker do not remain with you until morning. [14] You do not revile the deaf; and you do not put a stumbling block before the blind; and you have been afraid of your God; I [am] YHWH. [15] You do not do perversity in judgment; you do not lift up the face of the poor, nor honor the face of the great; you judge your fellow in righteousness. [16] You do not go slandering among your people; you do not stand against the blood of your neighbor; I [am] YHWH. [17] You do not hate your brother in your heart; you certainly reprove your fellow, and do not permit sin on him. [18] You do not take vengeance, nor watch the sons of your people; and you have had love for your neighbor as yourself; I [am] YHWH. [19] You keep My statutes. You do not cause your livestock to mate [with] two kinds; you do not sow your field with two kinds; and a garment of two kinds, mixed material, does not go up on you. [20] And when a man lies with a woman with seed [from] intercourse, and she [is] a maidservant, betrothed to a man, and not really ransomed, or freedom has not been given to her, there is an investigation; they are not put to death, for she [is] not free. [21] And he has brought in his guilt-offering to YHWH, to the opening of the Tent of Meeting, a ram [for] a guilt-offering, [22] and the priest has made atonement for him with the ram of the guilt-offering before YHWH, for his sin which he has sinned, and it has been forgiven him because of his sin which he has sinned. [23] And when you come into the land and have planted all [kinds] of trees [for] food, then you have reckoned its fruit as uncircumcised, it is uncircumcised to you [for] three years, it is not eaten, [24] and in the fourth year all its fruit is holy—praises for YHWH. [25] And in the fifth year you eat its fruit—to add to you its increase; I [am] your God YHWH. [26] You do not eat with the blood. You do not enchant, nor observe clouds. [27] You do not round the corner of your head, nor destroy the corner of your beard. [28] And you do not put a cutting for the soul in your flesh; and a writing, a cross-mark, you do not put on yourself; I [am] YHWH. [29] You do not defile your daughter to cause her to go whoring, that the land does not go whoring, and the land has been full of wickedness. [30] You keep My Sabbaths and you revere My sanctuary; I [am] YHWH. [31] You do not turn to those having familiar spirits, and you do not seek for wizards, to become unclean by them; I [am] your God YHWH. [32] You rise up at the presence of grey hairs, and you have honored the presence of an old man, and have been afraid of your God; I [am] YHWH. [33] And when a sojourner sojourns with you in your land, you do not oppress him; [34] the sojourner who is sojourning with you is to you as a native among you, and you have had love for him as for yourself, for you have been sojourners in the land of Egypt; I [am] your God YHWH. [35] You do not do perversity in the judgment, in the measure, in the weight, and in the liquid measure; [36] you have righteous balances, righteous weights, a righteous ephah, and a righteous hin; I [am] your God YHWH, who has brought you out from the land of Egypt; [37] and you have observed all my statutes, and all my judgments, and have done them; I [am] YHWH.”
