Leviticus 19:12-30

¹²'And ye do not swear by My name to falsehood, or thou hast polluted the name of thy God; I am Jehovah.

¹³'Thou dost not oppress thy neighbour, nor take plunder; the wages of the hireling doth not remain with thee till morning.

¹⁴'Thou dost not revile the deaf; and before the blind thou dost not put a stumbling block; and thou hast been afraid of thy God; I am Jehovah.

¹⁵'Ye do not do perversity in judgment; thou dost not lift up the face of the poor, nor honour the face of the great; in righteousness thou dost judge thy fellow.

¹⁶'Thou dost not go slandering among thy people; thou dost not stand against the blood of thy neighbour; I am Jehovah.

¹⁷'Thou dost not hate thy brother in thy heart; thou dost certainly reprove thy fellow, and not suffer sin on him.

¹⁸'Thou dost not take vengeance, nor watch the sons of thy people; and thou hast had love to thy neighbour as thyself; I am Jehovah.

¹⁹'My statutes ye do keep: thy cattle thou dost not cause to gender with diverse kinds; thy field thou dost not sow with diverse kinds, and a garment of diverse kinds, shaatnez, doth not go up upon thee.

²⁰'And when a man lieth with a woman with seed of copulation, and she a maid-servant, betrothed to a man, and not really ransomed, or freedom hath not been given to her, an investigation there is; they are not put to death, for she is not free.

²¹'And he hath brought in his guilt-offering to Jehovah, unto the opening of the tent of meeting, a ram for a guilt-offering,

²²and the priest hath made atonement for him with the ram of the guilt-offering before Jehovah, for his sin which he hath sinned, and it hath been forgiven him because of his sin which he hath sinned.

²³'And when ye come in unto the land, and have planted all kinds of trees for food, then ye have reckoned as uncircumcised its fruit, three years it is to you uncircumcised, it is not eaten,

²⁴and in the fourth year all its fruit is holy — praises for Jehovah.

²⁵And in the fifth year ye do eat its fruit — to add to you its increase; I am Jehovah your God.

²⁶'Ye do not eat with the blood; ye do not enchant, nor observe clouds.

²⁷'Ye do not round the corner of your head, nor destroy the corner of thy beard.

²⁸'And a cutting for the soul ye do not put in your flesh; and a writing, a cross-mark, ye do not put on you; I am Jehovah.

²⁹'Thou dost not pollute thy daughter to cause her to go a-whoring, that the land go not a-whoring, and the land hath been full of wickedness.

³⁰'My sabbaths ye do keep, and My sanctuary ye do reverence; I am Jehovah.
