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 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 neighbor, 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 stumbling-block 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 honor the person of the mighty: but in righteousness shalt thou judge thy neighbor. |
16 | Thou shalt not go up and down as a talebearer among thy people: neither shalt thou stand against the blood of thy neighbor; I am the LORD. |
17 | Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thine heart: thou shalt in any wise rebuke thy neighbor, 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 neighbor 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 woolen 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 honor 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. |
