[1] Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, [2] Speak to all the congregation of the
children of Israel, and tell them, You shall be holy; for I Yahweh your God
am holy. [3] You shall fear every man his mother, and his father; and you
shall keep my Sabbaths: I am Yahweh your God. [4] Don`t turn to idols, nor
make to yourselves molten gods: I am Yahweh your God. [5] When you offer a
sacrifice of peace-offerings to Yahweh, you shall offer it that you may be
accepted. [6] It shall be eaten the same day you offer it, and on the next
day: and if anything remain until the third day, it shall be burnt with
fire. [7] If it be eaten at all on the third day, it is an abomination; it
shall not be accepted: [8] but everyone who eats it shall bear his
iniquity, because he has profaned the holy thing of Yahweh: and that soul
shall be cut off from his people. [9] When you reap the harvest of your
land, you shall not wholly reap the corners of your field, neither shall
you gather the gleaning of your harvest. [10] You shall not glean your
vineyard, neither shall you gather the fallen fruit of your vineyard; you
shall leave them for the poor and for the sojourner: I am Yahweh your God.
[11] You shall not steal; neither shall you deal falsely, nor lie one to
another. [12] You shall not swear by my name falsely, and profane the name
of your God: I am Yahweh. [13] You shall not oppress your neighbor, nor rob
him: the wages of a hired servant shall not remain with you all night until
the morning. [14] You shall not curse the deaf, nor put a stumbling block
before the blind; but you shall fear your God: I am Yahweh. [15] You shall
do no unrighteousness in judgment: you shall not respect the person of the
poor, nor honor the person of the mighty; but in righteousness shall you
judge your neighbor. [16] You shall not go up and down as a talebearer
among your people: neither shall you stand against the blood of your
neighbor: I am Yahweh. [17] You shall not hate your brother in your heart:
you shall surely rebuke your neighbor, and not bear sin because of him.
[18] You shall not take vengeance, nor bear any grudge against the children
of your people; but you shall love your neighbor as yourself: I am Yahweh.
[19] You shall keep my statutes. You shall not let your cattle breed with a
diverse kind: you shall not sow your field with two kinds of seed: neither
shall there come on you a garment of two kinds of stuff mingled together.
[20] Whoever lies carnally with a woman, who is a bondmaid, pledged to be
married to a husband, and not at all redeemed, nor freedom given her; they
shall be punished; they shall not be put to death, because she was not
free. [21] He shall bring his trespass-offering to Yahweh, to the door of
the tent of meeting, even a ram for a trespass-offering. [22] The priest
shall make atonement for him with the ram of the trespass-offering before
Yahweh for his sin which he has sinned: and the sin which he has sinned
shall be forgiven him. [23] When you shall come into the land, and shall
have planted all manner of trees for food, then you shall count the fruit
of it as their uncircumcision: three years shall they be as uncircumcised
to you; it shall not be eaten. [24] But in the fourth year all the fruit of
it shall be holy, for giving praise to Yahweh. [25] In the fifth year shall
you eat of the fruit of it, that it may yield to you the increase of it: I
am Yahweh your God. [26] You shall not eat anything with the blood: neither
shall you use enchantments, nor practice sorcery. [27] You shall not cut
the hair on the sides of your heads, neither shall you clip off the edge of
your beard. [28] You shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the
dead, nor print any marks on you: I am Yahweh. [29] Don`t profane your
daughter, to make her a prostitute; lest the land fall to prostitution, and
the land become full of wickedness. [30] You shall keep my Sabbaths, and
reverence my sanctuary; I am Yahweh. [31] Don`t turn to those who have
familiar spirits, nor to the wizards; don`t seek them out, to be defiled by
them: I am Yahweh your God. [32] You shall rise up before the gray head,
and honor the face of the old man, and you shall fear your God: I am
Yahweh. [33] If a stranger sojourn with you in your land, you shall not do
him wrong. [34] The stranger who sojourns with you shall be to you as the
home-born among you, and you shall love him as yourself; for you were
sojourners in the land of Egypt: I am Yahweh your God. [35] You shall do no
unrighteousness in judgment, in measures of length, of weight, or of
quantity. [36] Just balances, just weights, a just ephah, and a just hin,
shall you have: I am Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of
Egypt. [37] You shall observe all my statutes, and all my ordinances, and
do them: I am Yahweh.
