Leviticus

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.
