Leviticus 19:15-34

¹⁵Thou shalt not do that, that is wicked, neither thou shalt deem unjustly; behold thou not the person of a poor man, neither honour thou the face of a mighty man; deem thou justly to thy neighbour.

¹⁶Thou shalt not be a slanderer, that is, a false accuser, neither a privy backbiter in the people; thou shalt not stand against the blood of thy neighbour; I am the Lord.

¹⁷Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thine heart, but reprove thou him openly, lest thou have sin on him.

¹⁸Thou shalt not seek vengeance, neither thou shalt be mindful of the wrong of thy citizens; thou shalt love thy friend as thyself; I am the Lord.

¹⁹Keep ye my laws. Thou shalt not make thy beasts to engender with the beasts of another kind. Thou shalt not sow a field with diverse seed. Thou shalt not be clothed in a cloth which is woven of two things.

²⁰If a man sleepeth with a woman by fleshly knowing of seed, which woman is an handmaid, or bond, yea, a noble woman of kin, and nevertheless is not again-bought by price, neither rewarded with freedom, she shall be beaten or both shall be scourged, and they shall not die, for she was not free.

²¹Soothly the man for his trespass shall offer a ram to the Lord, at the door of the tabernacle of witnessing;

²²and the priest shall pray for him, and for his trespass, before the Lord; and the Lord shall be merciful to him, and the sin shall be forgiven.

²³When ye have entered into the land of promise, and have planted therein apple trees, ye shall do away the first fruits; the apples which those trees bring forth shall be unclean to you, neither ye shall eat of them.

²⁴Forsooth in the fourth year all the fruit of the trees shall be hallowed and be praiseable to the Lord;

²⁵forsooth in the fifth year ye shall eat the fruits, and ye shall gather apples, which those trees bring forth; I am your Lord God.

²⁶Ye shall not eat flesh with the blood. Ye shall not make vain divining, neither ye shall keep dreams;

²⁷neither ye shall clip the hair round, neither ye shall shave the beard;

²⁸and on dead men ye shall not cut your flesh, neither ye shall make to you any figures, either marks in your flesh; I am the Lord.

²⁹Set thou not thy daughter to do lechery for hire, and the land be defouled, and be full-filled with sin.

³⁰Keep ye my sabbaths, and dread ye my saintuary; I am the Lord.

³¹Bow ye not to astronomers or astrologers, neither ask ye anything of false diviners, that ye be defouled by them; I am your Lord God.

³²Rise thou before an hoar head, and honour thou the person of an eld or old man, and dread thou thy Lord God; I am the Lord.

³³If a comeling dwelleth in your land, and abideth among you, despise ye not him,

³⁴but be he among you as a man born in the land; and ye shall love him as yourself, for also ye were comelings in the land of Egypt; I am your Lord God.
