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 honor 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.
