Chapter 19

And the LORD spake¹⁷ unto Moses, saying,²

Speak¹⁶ unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, and say¹ unto them, Ye shall be holy: for I the LORD your God [am] holy.

Ye shall fear⁴ every man his mother, and his father, and keep⁴ my sabbaths: I [am] the LORD your God.

Turn⁴ ye not unto idols, nor make⁴ to yourselves molten gods: I [am] the LORD your God.

And if ye offer⁴ a sacrifice of peace offerings unto the LORD, ye shall offer⁴ it at your own will.

It shall be eaten¹¹ the same day ye offer it, and on the morrow: and if ought remain¹² until the third day, it shall be burnt¹¹ in the fire.

And if it be eaten¹¹ at all⁹ on the third day, it [is] abominable; it shall not be accepted.¹¹

Therefore [every one] that eateth⁶ it shall bear⁴ his iniquity, because he hath profaned¹⁴ the hallowed thing of the LORD: and that soul shall be cut off⁸ from among his people.

And when ye reap² the harvest of your land, thou shalt not wholly reap^{17 7114 2} the corners of thy field, neither shalt thou gather¹⁷ the gleanings of thy harvest.

And thou shalt not glean²⁵ thy vineyard, neither shalt thou gather¹⁷ [every] grape of thy vineyard; thou shalt leave⁴ them for the poor and stranger: I [am] the LORD your God.

Ye shall not steal,⁴ neither deal falsely,¹⁷ neither lie¹⁷ one to another.

And ye shall not swear¹¹ by my name falsely, neither shalt thou profane¹⁴ the name of thy God: I [am] the LORD.

Thou shalt not defraud⁴ thy neighbour, neither rob⁴ [him]: the wages of him that is hired shall not abide⁴ with thee all night until the morning.

Thou shalt not curse¹⁷ the deaf, nor put⁴ a stumblingblock before the blind, but shalt fear¹ thy God: I [am] the LORD.

Ye shall do⁴ no unrighteousness in judgment: thou shalt not respect⁴ the person of the poor, nor honour⁴ the person of the mighty: [but] in righteousness shalt thou judge⁴ thy neighbour.

Thou shalt not go⁴ up and down [as] a talebearer among thy people: neither shalt thou stand⁴ against the blood of thy neighbour: I [am] the LORD.

Thou shalt not hate⁴ thy brother in thine heart: thou shalt in any wise⁵³ rebuke⁵⁵ thy neighbour, and not suffer⁴ sin upon him.

Thou shalt not avenge,⁴ nor bear any grudge⁴ against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love¹ thy neighbour as thyself: I [am] the LORD.

Ye shall keep⁴ my statutes. Thou shalt not let thy cattle gender⁵⁵ with a diverse kind: thou shalt not sow⁴ thy field with mingled seed: neither shall a garment mingled of linen and woollen come⁴ upon thee.

And whosoever lieth⁴ carnally ⁷⁹⁰² with a woman, that [is] a bondmaid, betrothed¹² to an husband, and not at all⁹¹ redeemed,⁸ nor freedom given⁸ her; she shall be scourged; they shall not be put to death,⁹³ because she was not free.²⁷

And he shall bring⁵² his trespass offering unto the LORD, unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, [even] a ram for a trespass offering.

And the priest shall make an atonement¹⁴ for him with the ram of the trespass offering before the LORD for his sin which he hath done:¹ and the sin which he hath done¹ shall be forgiven⁸ him.

And when ye shall come⁴ into the land, and shall have planted¹ all manner of trees for food, then ye shall count the fruit thereof as uncircumcised:^{1 6190} three years shall it be as uncircumcised unto you: it shall not be eaten¹¹ of.

But in the fourth year all the fruit thereof shall be holy to praise the LORD [withal].

And in the fifth year shall ye eat⁴ of the fruit thereof, that it may yield⁵³ unto you the increase thereof: I [am] the LORD your God.

Ye shall not eat⁴ [any thing] with the blood: neither shall ye use enchantment,¹⁷ nor observe times.²⁵

Ye shall not round⁵⁵ the corners of your heads, neither shalt thou mar⁵⁵ the corners of thy beard.

Ye shall not make⁴ any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print⁴ any marks upon you: I [am] the LORD.

Do not prostitute¹⁷ thy daughter, to cause her to be a whore;⁵³ lest the land fall to whoredom,⁴ and the land become full¹ of wickedness.

Ye shall keep⁴ my sabbaths, and reverence⁴ my sanctuary: I [am] the LORD.

Regard⁴ not them that have familiar spirits, neither seek¹⁷ after wizards, to be defiled² by them: I [am] the LORD your God.

Thou shalt rise up⁴ before the hoary head, and honour¹ the face of the old man, and fear¹ thy God: I [am] the LORD.

And if a stranger sojourn⁴ with thee in your land, ye shall not vex⁵⁵ him.

[But] the stranger that dwelleth⁶ with you shall be unto you as one born among you, and thou shalt love¹ him as thyself; for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt: I [am] the LORD your God.

Ye shall do⁴ no unrighteousness in judgment, in meteyard, in weight, or in measure.

Just balances, just weights, a just ephah, and a just hin, shall ye have: I [am] the LORD your God, which brought you out⁵² of the land of Egypt.

Therefore shall ye observe¹ all my statutes, and all my judgments, and do¹ them: I [am] the LORD.
