You shall not abhor an Egyptian, for [²a sojourner ¹you were] in his land. 8 [³sons ¹If ²they shall bear] to themselves [²generation ¹in the third], they shall enter into the assembly of the lord. 9 And if you should go forth to camp against your enemies, then you shall guard from every evil thing. 10 If there might be among you a man who is not clean because of his flow by night, then he shall go forth outside the camp, and he shall not enter into the camp. 11 And it will be towards evening he shall bathe his body in water; and at the going down of the sun, he shall enter into the camp. 12 And a place will be for you outside the camp, and you shall go forth there outside, 13 and a trowel will be upon your belt, and it will be whenever you should sit separately outside, that you shall dig with it, and bringing it you shall cover your indecency by it. 14 For the lord your God walks about in your camp to rescue you, and to deliver up your enemy before your face; and [²shall be ¹your camp] holy, and there shall not be seen among you [²of indecency ¹a thing], that he shall turn away from you. 15 You shall not deliver up a servant to his master, who was added to you by his master; 16 [²with ³you ¹he shall dwell], among you, in every place of which ever it should please him. You shall not afflict him. 17 There shall not be a harlot from the daughters of Israel, and there shall not be one whoring from the sons of Israel. 18 You shall not bring the hire of a harlot, nor the price of a dog, into the house of the lord your God for any vow. For [⁴an abomination ⁵to the lord ⁶your God ³are ¹even ²both]. 19 You shall not lend to your brother with interest of silver, and interest of foods, and interest of any thing of which ever you should lend. 20 To the alien you may lend with interest, but to your brother you shall not lend with interest; that [³should bless ⁴you ¹the lord ²your God] in all your works upon the land into which you enter there to inherit it. 21 And if you shall vow a vow to the lord your God, you shall not pass time to give it; for requiring, [³shall require it ¹the lord ²your God] from you; and it will be [²to ³you ¹sin]. 22 But if you should not want to make a vow, it is not a sin to you. 23 The things going forth through your lips you shall guard, and you shall do in which manner you made a vow to the lord your God in the matter of a gift which [²spoke ¹your mouth]. 24 And if you enter into the vineyard of your neighbor, you may eat [²grape ¹as much ⁴your soul ³as to fill up], [³into ¹but ⁴a container ²you shall not put them]. 25 And if you should enter into the harvest field of your neighbor, then you may collect together [²in ³your hands ¹corn]; but the sickle in no way shall be put upon the harvest of your neighbor.
