Leviticus 19 The repetition of various laws

Leviticus 19

The repetition of various laws

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 Each one shall fear his mother and his father, and keep my sabbaths: I am the LORD your God.

4 Ye shall not turn unto idols, neither shall ye make molten gods: I am the LORD your God.

5 And when you sacrifice a sacrifice of peace offerings to the Lord, you shall sacrifice of your own free will.

6 In the day that ye sacrifice, and on the morrow shall it be eaten; But that which is left over the third day shall be burned with fire.

7 And if anything of it be eaten on the third day, it is an abomination: it shall not be accepted.

8 And whosoever eats it shall bear his iniquity, because he hath profaned the holiness of the Lord; Therefore such a soul shall be cut off from his people.

9 And when you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not reap the harvest of your field, neither shall you reap the ears of corn from your harvest.

10 Likewise thou shalt not glean thy vineyard, nor gather the fallen grapes of thy vineyard: thou shalt leave it to the poor and to the stranger: I am the LORD thy God.

11 Ye shall not steal, nor lie, nor use every man his falsehood with his neighbor;

12 You shall not swear falsely by my name, for you shall profane the name of your God: I am the Lord.

13 Thou shalt not oppress thy neighbor, nor steal: the hire of the hired servant shall not be with thee until the morning.

14 Thou shalt not curse the deaf, nor put a stumblingblock before the blind: but thou shalt fear thy God: I am the LORD.

15 Ye shall do no unrighteousness in the judgment: thou shalt not accept the poor, neither shalt thou respect the great; You shall judge your neighbor in righteousness.

16 Thou shalt not go about as a talebearer among thy peoples: thou shalt not stand against the blood of thy neighbor: I am the LORD.

17 Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thine heart; thou shalt not fail to reprove thy neighbor, and in him thou shalt not suffer sin.

18 Thou shalt not take vengeance, nor bear wrath against the children of thy people; But love your neighbor as yourself: I am the Lord.

19 You shall keep my statutes: you shall not allow your animals of different kinds to gather together: in your field you shall not sow seed of mixture, and you shall not put on mules in mixed dresses.

20 And when a man lies with a woman who is a wife, espoused of man, and is not redeemed, nor given her liberty, then shall they be beaten; They shall not die, for she was not delivered.

21 And for a sin offering he shall bring to the LORD at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation a ram for an atonement,

22 And with the ram of the trespass offering the priest shall make atonement for him before the LORD for his sin which he sinned; And his sin, which sinned, shall be forgiven him.

23 And when you have entered into the land, and have planted the whole tree of food, its fruit will be uncircumcised; Three years shall be uncircumcised unto you;He shall not eat of it.

24 But in the fourth year all its fruit will be holy to give praise to the Lord.

25 And in the fifth year shall ye eat of it, that it may make you increase in increase: I am the Lord your God.

26 You shall not eat anything with blood; You shall not hasten nor guess.

27 Thou shalt not cut off the hair, round the corners of thy head, neither break the end of thy beard.

28 For the dead you shall not give blows in your flesh; you shall not make any mark upon you: I am the LORD.

29 Thou shalt not defile thy daughter, and cause her to commit fornication: lest the land shall prostitute herself, nor be full of wickedness.

30 Ye shall keep my sabbaths, and my sanctuary ye shall revere: I am Jehovah.

31 Ye shall not turn unto the diviners and the enchanters; Seek them not, and defile yourselves with them, I am the Lord your God.

32 Thou shalt rise before the hairs, and shalt honor the face of the old man; And thou shalt fear thy God: I am the LORD.

33 And when the stranger walketh with you in your land, ye shall not oppress him.

34 As a native among you shall be the stranger that sojourneth with you: thou shalt love him as thyself: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.

35 Ye shall not do unrighteousness in judgment, or rod, or weight, or measure.

36 Fair scales, just stones, just ephah, and righteous him: Yea, I am the Lord your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt.

37 And ye shall keep all my statutes, and all my judgments, and do them: I am Jehovah.
