CHAPTER 19 Laws Regarding Social Conduct

1 And the lord spoke to Moses, saying, 2 Speak to all the congregation of the sons of Israel! And you shall say to them, You shall be holy, for [⁴am holy ¹I ²the lord ³your God]. 3 Let each one [²his father ³and ⁴his mother ¹fear]! And my Sabbaths you shall keep. I am the lord your God. 4 You shall not follow after idols, and [⁵gods ⁴molten ¹you shall not ²make ³to yourselves]. I am the lord your God. 5 And if you should sacrifice a sacrifice of deliverance to the lord, [²acceptable ³for yourselves ¹you shall sacrifice]. 6 In which ever day you should sacrifice, it shall be eaten, and in the next morning. And if any should be left behind until [²day ¹the third] [²by ³fire ¹it shall be incinerated]. 7 And if food should be eaten the [²day ¹third] it is unfit, you shall not accept it. 8 And the one eating it [²the sin ¹shall take], for the holy things of the lord he profaned. And [⁴shall be utterly destroyed ¹the ²souls ³eating it] from their people. 9 And [²reaping ¹of your] the harvest of your land, you shall not complete your harvest of your field to completely reap it. And the parts falling away of your harvest you shall not collect together. 10 And your vineyard; you shall not glean the vintage, nor the grape-stones of your vineyard shall you collect together; to the poor and to the foreigner you shall leave behind for them. I am the lord your God. 11 You shall not steal, and you shall not lie, nor shall you extort each his neighbor. 12 And you shall not swear by an oath [²my name ¹upon] unjustly. And you shall not profane the [²name ¹holy] of your God. I am the lord your God. 13 You shall not wrong your neighbor. And you shall not seize by force. And [⁴shall not ⁵go to bed ¹the ²wages ³of your hireling] with you until morning. 14 You shall not wickedly speak to a mute, and before the blind you shall not put an obstacle. And you shall fear the lord your God. I am the lord your God. 15 You shall not act unjustly in a judgment. You shall not take favor on the face of the poor, nor marvel before the face of a mighty one. With righteousness you shall judge your neighbor. 16 You shall not go by treachery among your nation. You shall not rise up together for blood of your neighbor. I am the lord your God. 17 You shall not detest your brother in your mind. With rebuke you shall reprove your neighbor, and you shall not take [²on account of ³him ¹sin]. 18 And [³shall not ⁴avenge ¹your ²hand]. And you shall not be infuriated at the sons of your people. And you shall love your neighbor as yourself. I am the lord your God. 19 My law you shall keep. Your cattle you shall not mate unequally yoked. And in your vineyard you shall not scatter abroad diverse seed. And a garment of two materials being woven commingled you shall not put upon yourself. 20 And if any man should go to bed with a woman in the marriage-bed of semen, and she is a domestic servant being guarded for a man, and to her ransoms have not been ransomed, or freedom was not given to her; an overseeing will be to them; they shall not die, for she was not set free. 21 And he shall bring his trespass offering to the lord by the door of the tent of the testimony -- a ram for a trespass offering. 22 And [³shall atone ⁴for ⁵him ¹the ²priest] with the ram of the trespass offering before the lord for his sin of which he sinned; and [³shall be forgiven ⁴him ¹the ²sin] which he sinned. 23 And whenever you should enter into the land which the lord your God gives to you, and you should plant any [²tree ¹eatable], then you shall purge away its uncleanness. Its fruit for three years will be impure to you, it shall not be eaten. 24 And the [²year ¹fourth ⁵will be ³all ⁴of its fruit] holy, praiseworthy to the lord. 25 And in the [²year ¹fifth] you shall eat of its fruit; [²is an addition ³to you ¹its produce]. I am the lord your God. 26 Eat not upon the mountains! And you shall not foretell, nor use augury. 27 You shall not make a lock of hair consecrated to an idol from out of the hair of your head, nor shall you corrupt the appearance of your beards. 28 And [³cuts ¹you shall not ²make] for a dead soul on your body; and letter marks you shall not make upon you. I am the lord your God. 29 You shall not profane your daughter to fornicate her. And you shall not fornicate the land, and [³be filled ¹the ²land] of lawlessness. 30 My Sabbaths you shall keep, and of my holy things you shall fear. I am the lord. 31 You shall not follow after ones who deliver oracles, and to the enchanters you shall not cleave to be thoroughly defiled by them. I am the lord your God. 32 At the face of a gray one you shall rise up, and you shall esteem the face of an older one; and you shall fear your God. I am the lord your God. 33 And if any [⁴should come forward ⁵to you ¹foreigner ²in ³your land], you shall not afflict him. 34 [⁷as ⁸the ⁹native born ¹⁰among ¹¹you ⁶shall be ¹The ²foreigner ³approaching ⁴to ⁵you]. And you shall love him as yourself, for [²foreigners ¹you became] in the land of Egypt. I am the lord your God. 35 You shall not act unjustly in an equity with measures, and with weights, and with yoke balance scales. 36 [²yoke balance scales ¹Just], and [²dry measure ³weights ¹just], and [²coos liquid measure ¹a just] shall be to you. I am the lord your God, the one leading you from out of the land of Egypt. 37 And you shall keep all my laws, and all my orders, and you shall do them. I am the lord.
