| 19 | Leviticus |
|
| 1 |
And Yahweh said to Moses, | Laws of Holiness and Justice. Lv.19.1-37 |
| 2 |
"Say to all the congregation of the people of Israel, You shall be holy; for I Yahweh your God am holy. | |
| 3 |
Every one of you shall revere his mother and his father, and you shall keep my sabbaths: I am Yahweh your God. | |
| 4 |
Do not turn to idols or make for yourselves molten gods: I am Yahweh your God. | |
| 5 |
"When you offer a sacrifice of peace offerings to Yahweh, you shall offer it so that you may be accepted. | |
| 6 |
It shall be eaten the same day you offer it, or on the morrow; and anything left over until the third day shall be burned with fire. | |
| 7 |
If it is eaten at all on the third day, it is an abomination; it will not be accepted, | |
| 8 |
and every one who eats it shall bear his iniquity, because he has profaned a holy thing of Yahweh; and that person shall be cut off from his people. | |
| 9 |
"When you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not reap your field to its very border, neither shall you gather the gleanings after your harvest. | |
| 10 |
And you shall not strip your vineyard bare, neither shall you gather the fallen grapes of your vineyard; you shall leave them for the poor and for the sojourner: I am Yahweh your God. | |
| 11 |
"You shall not steal, nor deal falsely, nor lie to one another. | |
| 12 |
And you shall not swear by my name falsely, and so profane the name of your God: I am Yahweh. | |
| 13 |
"You shall not oppress your neighbour or 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 or put a stumbling block before the blind, but you shall fear your God: I am Yahweh. | |
| 15 |
"You shall do no injustice in judgment; you shall not be partial to the poor or defer to the great, but in righteousness shall you judge your neighbour. | |
| 16 |
You shall not go up and down as a slanderer among your people, and you shall not stand forth against the life of your neighbour: I am Yahweh. | |
| 17 |
"You shall not hate your brother in your heart, but you shall reason with your neighbour, lest you bear sin because of him. | |
| 18 |
You shall not take vengeance or bear any grudge against the sons of your own people, but you shall love your neighbour as yourself: I am Yahweh. | |
| 19 |
"You shall keep my statutes. You shall not let your cattle breed with a different kind; you shall not sow your field with two kinds of seed; nor shall there come upon you a garment of cloth made of two kinds of stuff. | |
| 20 |
"If a man lies carnally with a woman who is a slave, betrothed to another man and not yet ransomed or given her freedom, an inquiry shall be held. They shall not be put to death, because she was not free; | |
| 21 |
but he shall bring a guilt offering for himself to Yahweh, to the door of the tent of meeting, a ram for a guilt offering. | |
| 22 |
And the priest shall make atonement for him with the ram of the guilt offering before Yahweh for his sin which he has committed; and the sin which he has committed shall be forgiven him. | |
| 23 |
"When you come into the land and plant all kinds of trees for food, then you shall count their fruit as forbidden; three years it shall be forbidden to you, it must not be eaten. | |
| 24 |
And in the fourth year all their fruit shall be holy, an offering of praise to Yahweh. | |
| 25 |
But in the fifth year you may eat of their fruit, that they may yield more richly for you: I am Yahweh your God. | |
| 26 |
"You shall not eat any flesh with the blood in it. You shall not practice augury or witchcraft. | |
| 27 |
You shall not round off the hair on your temples or mar the edges of your beard. | |
| 28 |
You shall not make any cuttings in your flesh on account of the dead or tattoo any marks upon you: I am Yahweh. | |
| 29 |
"Do not profane your daughter by making her a harlot, lest the land fall into harlotry and the land become full of wickedness. | |
| 30 |
You shall keep my sabbaths and reverence my sanctuary: I am Yahweh. | |
| 31 |
"Do not turn to mediums or wizards; do not seek them out, to be defiled by them: I am Yahweh your God. | |
| 32 |
"You shall rise up before the hoary head, and honour the face of an old man, and you shall fear your God: I am Yahweh. | |
| 33 |
"When a stranger sojourns with you in your land, you shall not do him wrong. | |
| 34 |
The stranger who sojourns with you shall be to you as the native among you, and you shall love him as yourself; for you were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am Yahweh your God. | |
| 35 |
"You shall do no wrong in judgment, in measures of length or weight or quantity. | |
| 36 |
You shall have just balances, just weights, a just ephah, and a just hin: I am Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt. | |
| 37 |
And you shall observe all my statutes and all my ordinances, and do them: I am Yahweh." | |
| |
