Chapter 19  
     
1.
 And in a dream the Lord spoke unto Moses, and from his dream Moses interpreted the Lord, saying,
  
2.
 Speak unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, and say unto them, You shall be holy: for I the Lord your God am holy.
  
3.
 You shall fear every man his mother, and his father, and keep my sabbaths: I am the Lord your God.
  
4.
 Turn you not unto idols, nor make to yourselves molten gods: I am the Lord your God.
  
5.
 And if you offer a sacrifice of peace offerings unto the Lord, you shall offer it at your own will.
  
6.
 It shall be eaten the same day you 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 has profaned the hallowed thing of the Lord: and that soul shall be cut off from among his people.
  
9.
 And when you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not wholly reap the corners of thy field, neither shall you gather the gleanings of thy harvest.
  
10.
 And you shall not glean thy vineyard, neither shall you gather every grape of thy vineyard; you shall leave them for the poor and stranger: I am the Lord your God.
  
11.
 You shall not steal, neither deal falsely, neither lie one to another.
  
12.
 And you shall not swear by my name falsely, neither shall you profane the name of thy God: I am the Lord.
  
13.
 Thou shall not defraud thy neighbour, neither rob him: the wages of him that is hired shall not abide with you all night until the morning.
  
14.
 Thou shall not curse the deaf, nor put a stumblingblock before the blind, but shall fear thy God: I am the Lord.
  
15.
 You shall do no unrighteousness in judgment: you shall not respect the person of the poor, nor honor the person of the mighty: but in righteousness shall you judge thy neighbour.
  
16.
 Thou shall not go up and down as a talebearer among thy people: neither shall you stand against the blood of thy neighbour; I am the Lord.
  
17.
 Thou shall not hate thy brother in your heart: you shall in any wise rebuke thy neighbour, and not suffer sin upon him.
  
18.
 Thou shall not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but you shall love thy neighbour as thyself: I am the Lord.
  
19.
 You shall keep my statutes. You shall not let thy cattle gender with a diverse kind: you shall not sow thy field with mingled seed: neither shall a garment mingled of linen and woollen 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 has done: and the sin which he has done shall be forgiven him.
  
23.
 And when you shall come into the land, and shall have planted all manner of trees for food, then you shall count the fruit of it 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 of it shall be holy to praise the Lord withal.
  
25.
 And in the fifth year shall you eat of the fruit of it, that it may yield unto you the increase thereof: I am the Lord your God.
  
26.
 You shall not eat any thing with the blood: neither shall you use enchantment, nor observe times.
  
27.
 You shall not round the corners of your heads, neither shall you mar the corners of thy beard.
  
28.
 You 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.
 You 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 shall rise up before the hoary head, and honour the face of the old man, and fear thy God: I am the Lord.
  
33.
 And if a stranger sojourn with you in your land, you shall not vex him.
  
34.
 But the stranger that dwelleth with you shall be unto you as one born among you, and you shall love him as thyself; for you were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.
  
35.
 You 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 you have: I am the Lord your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt.
  
37.
 Therefore shall you observe all my statutes, and all my judgments, and do them: I am the Lord.
