| 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." | ||
