003:019:001
And the LORD spake unto Moses,
saying,

003:019:002
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.

003:019:003
Ye shall fear every man his mother,
and his father,
and keep my sabbaths:
I am the LORD your God.

003:019:004
Turn ye not unto idols,
nor make to yourselves molten gods:
I am the LORD your God.

003:019:005
And if ye offer a sacrifice of peace offerings unto the LORD,
ye shall offer it at your own will.

003:019:006
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.

003:019:007
And if it be eaten at all on the third day,
it is abominable;
it shall not be accepted.

003:019:008
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.

003:019:009
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.

003:019:010
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.

003:019:011
Ye shall not steal,
neither deal falsely,
neither lie one to another.

003:019:012
And ye shall not swear by my name falsely,
neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God:
I am the LORD.

003:019:013
Thou shalt not defraud thy neighbour,
neither rob him:
the wages of him that is hired shall not abide with thee all night until the morning.

003:019:014
Thou shalt not curse the deaf,
nor put a stumblingblock before the blind,
but shalt fear thy God:
I am the LORD.

003:019:015
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 neighbour.

003:019:016
Thou shalt not go up and down as a talebearer among thy people:
neither shalt thou stand against the blood of thy neighbour;
I am the LORD.

003:019:017
Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thine heart:
thou shalt in any wise rebuke thy neighbour,
and not suffer sin upon him.

003:019:018
Thou shalt not avenge,
nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people,
but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself:
I am the LORD.

003:019:019
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 woollen come upon thee.

003:019:020
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.

003:019:021
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.

003:019:022
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.

003:019:023
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.

003:019:024
But in the fourth year all the fruit thereof shall be holy to praise the LORD withal.

003:019:025
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.

003:019:026
Ye shall not eat any thing with the blood:
neither shall ye use enchantment,
nor observe times.

003:019:027
Ye shall not round the corners of your heads,
neither shalt thou mar the corners of thy beard.

003:019:028
Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead,
nor print any marks upon you:
I am the LORD.

003:019:029
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.

003:019:030
Ye shall keep my sabbaths,
and reverence my sanctuary:
I am the LORD.

003:019:031
Regard not them that have familiar spirits,
neither seek after wizards,
to be defiled by them:
I am the LORD your God.

003:019:032
Thou shalt rise up before the hoary head,
and honour the face of the old man,
and fear thy God:
I am the LORD.

003:019:033
And if a stranger sojourn with thee in your land,
ye shall not vex him.

003:019:034
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.

003:019:035
Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment,
in meteyard,
in weight,
or in measure.

003:019:036
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.

003:019:037
Therefore shall ye observe all my statutes,
and all my judgments,
and do them:
I am the LORD.
