19Verse 1The Lord spake to Moses, and said,Verse 2Speak thou to all the company of the sons of Israel, and thou shalt say to them, Be ye holy, for I am holy, your Lord God.Verse 3Each man dread his father, and his mother. Keep ye my sabbaths; I am your Lord God.Verse 4Do not ye be turned to idols, neither ye shall make to you molten gods; I am your Lord God.Verse 5If ye offer a sacrifice of peaceable things to the Lord, that it be quemeful,Verse 6ye shall eat it in that day, in which it is offered, and in the tother day; soothly whatever thing is left into the third day, ye shall burn it in fire.Verse 7If any man eateth thereof after two days, he shall be unholy, and guilty of unfaithfulness, either wicked-ness;Verse 8and he shall bear his wickedness, for he defouled the holy thing of the Lord, and his soul shall perish from his people.Verse 9When thou shalt reap the fruits of thy land, thou shalt not cut till to the ground the corns of the land, neither thou shalt gather the ears of corn that be left;Verse 10neither in thy vineyard thou shalt gather the raisins and the grains falling down, but thou shalt leave them to be gathered of poor men and of pilgrims; I am your Lord God.Verse 11Ye shall not do theft. Ye shall not lie, and no man deceive his neighbour.Verse 12Thou shalt not forswear in my name, neither thou shalt defoul the name of thy God; I am the Lord.Verse 13Thou shalt not make false challenge to thy neighbour, neither thou shalt oppress him by violence. The hire of thy workman shall not dwell with thee unto the morrowtide.Verse 14Thou shalt not curse a deaf man, neither thou shalt set [or put] an hurting before a blind man; but thou shalt dread thy Lord God, for I am the Lord.Verse 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.Verse 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.Verse 17Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thine heart, but reprove thou him openly, lest thou have sin on him.Verse 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.Verse 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.Verse 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.Verse 21Soothly the man for his trespass shall offer a ram to the Lord, at the door of the tabernacle of witnessing;Verse 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.Verse 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.Verse 24Forsooth in the fourth year all the fruit of the trees shall be hallowed and be praiseable to the Lord;Verse 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.Verse 26Ye shall not eat flesh with [the] blood. Ye shall not make vain divining, neither ye shall keep dreams;Verse 27neither ye shall clip the hair round, neither ye shall shave the beard;Verse 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.Verse 29Set thou not thy daughter to do lechery for hire, and the land be defouled, and be [full-]filled with sin.Verse 30Keep ye my sabbaths, and dread ye my saintuary; I am the Lord.Verse 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.Verse 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.Verse 33If a comeling dwelleth in your land, and abideth among you, despise ye not him,Verse 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.Verse 35Do not ye do any wicked thing in doom, in rule, in weight, and in measure;Verse 36the balance be just [or right], and the weights be even, the bushel be just [or right], and the pint be even; I am your Lord God, that led you out of the land of Egypt.Verse 37Keep ye all my behests, and all my dooms, and do ye them; I am the Lord.
