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. |
