Leviticus Chapter 19

Leviticus Chapter 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 shall keep my
Sabbaths: for I am the Lord your God.
4 Ye shall not turn unto idols, nor make
you molten gods: I am the Lord your
God.
5 And when ye shall offer a peace
offering unto the Lord, ye shall offer it
freely.
6 It shall be eaten the day ye offer it, or
on the morrow: and that which remaineth
until the third day, shall be burned in the
fire.
7 For if it be eaten the third day, it shall
be unclean, it shall not be accepted. 8
Therefore he that eateth it, shall bear his
iniquity, because he hath defiled the
hallowed thing of the Lord, and that
person shall be cut off from his people.
9 When ye reap the harvest of your land,
ye shall not reap every corner of your
field, neither shalt thou gather the
gleanings of thy harvest. 10 Thou shalt
not gather the grapes of thy vineyard
clean, neither gather every grape of thy
vineyard, but thou shalt leave them for
the poor and for the stranger: I am the
Lord your God.
11 Ye shall not steal, neither deal
falsely, neither lie one to another. 12
Also ye shall not swear by my name
falsely, neither shalt thou defile the name
of thy God: I am the Lord.
13 Thou shalt not do thy neighbor wrong,
neither rob him. The workman’s hire
shall not abide with thee until the
morning.
14 Thou shalt not curse the deaf, neither
put a stumbling block before the blind,
but shalt fear thy God: I am the Lord.
15 Ye shall not do unjustly in judgment.
Thou shalt not favor the person of the
poor, nor honor the person of the mighty,
but thou shalt judge thy neighbor justly.
16 Thou shalt not walk about with tales
among thy people. Thou shalt not stand
against the blood of thy neighbor: I am
the Lord.
17 Thou shalt not hate thy brother in
thine heart, but thou shalt plainly rebuke
thy neighbor, and suffer him not to sin.
18 Thou shalt not avenge, nor be mindful
of wrong against the children of thy
people, but shalt love thy neighbor as
thyself: I am the Lord.
19 Ye shall keep mine ordinances. Thou
shalt not let thy cattle gender with others
of divers kinds. Thou shalt not sow thy
field with mingled seed, neither shall a
garment of divers things, as of linen and
woolen come upon thee.
20 Whosoever also lieth and meddleth
with a woman that is a bondmaid,
affianced to a husband, and not
redeemed, nor freedom given her, she
shall be scourged, but they shall not die,
because she is not made free. 21 And he
shall bring for his trespass offering unto
the Lord, at the door of the tabernacle of
the congregation, a ram for a trespass
offering.
22 Then the priest shall make an
atonement for him with the ram of the
trespass offering before the Lord,
concerning his sin which he hath done,
and pardon shall be given him for his sin
which he hath committed.
23 Also when ye shall come into the
land, and have planted every tree for
meat, ye shall count the fruit thereof as
uncircumcised: three year shall it be
uncircumcised unto you, it shall not be
eaten:
24 But in the fourth year all the fruit
thereof shall be holy to the praise of the
Lord.
25 And in the fifth year shall ye eat of
the fruit of it that it may yield to you the
increase thereof: I am the Lord your
God.
26 Ye shall not eat the flesh with the
blood, ye shall not use witchcraft, nor
observe times.
27 Ye shall not cut round the corners of
your heads, neither shalt thou mar the
tufts of thy beard.
28 Ye shall not cut your flesh for the
dead, nor make any print of a mark upon
you: I am the Lord,
29 Thou shalt not make thy daughter
common, to cause her to be a whore, lest
the land also fall to whoredom, and the
land be full of wickedness. 30 Ye shall
keep my Sabbaths and reverence my
sanctuary: I am the Lord. 31 Ye shall not
regard them that work with spirits,
neither soothsayers: ye shall not seek to
them to be defiled by them: I am the
Lord your God. 32 Thou shalt rise up
before the hoary head, and honor the
person of the old man, and dread 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 as one of yourselves, 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 not do unjustly in judgment,
in line, in weight, or in measure. 36 You
shall have just balances, true weights, a
true ephah, and a true hin. I am the Lord
your God, which have brought you out of
the land of Egypt. 37 Therefore shall ye
observe all mine ordinances, and all my
judgments, and do them: I am the Lord.
