¹ The LORD spoke to Moshe, saying, ² Speak to all the congregation of the children of Yisra'el, and tell 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 you shall keep my Shabbatot: I am the LORD your God. ⁴ Don't turn to idols, nor make to yourselves molten gods: I am the LORD your God. ⁵ When you offer a sacrifice of peace-offerings to the LORD, you shall offer it that you may be accepted. ⁶ It shall be eaten the same day you offer it, and on the next day: and if anything remain until the third day, it shall be burnt with fire. ⁷ If it be eaten at all on the third day, it is an abomination; it shall not be accepted: ⁸ but everyone who eats it shall bear his iniquity, because he has profaned the holy thing of the LORD: and that soul shall be cut off from his people. ⁹ When you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not wholly reap the corners of your field, neither shall you gather the gleaning of your harvest. ¹⁰ You shall not glean your vineyard, neither shall you gather the fallen fruit of your vineyard; you shall leave them for the poor and for the sojourner: I am the LORD your God.

¹¹ You shall not steal; neither shall you deal falsely, nor lie one to another. ¹² You shall not swear by my name falsely, and profane the name of your God: I am the LORD. ¹³ You shall not oppress your neighbor, nor rob him: the wages of a hired servant shall not remain with you all night until the morning. ¹⁴ You shall not curse the deaf, nor put a stumbling block before the blind; but you shall fear your 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 your neighbor. ¹⁶ You shall not go up and down as a talebearer among your people: neither shall you stand against the blood of your neighbor: I am the LORD. ¹⁷ You shall not hate your brother in your heart: you shall surely rebuke your neighbor, and not bear sin because of him. ¹⁸ You shall not take vengeance, nor bear any grudge against the children of your people; but you shall love your neighbor as yourself: I am the LORD.

¹⁹ You shall keep my statutes. You shall not let your cattle breed with a diverse kind: you shall not sow your field with two kinds of seed: neither shall there come on you a garment of two kinds of stuff mixed together. ²⁰ Whoever lies carnally with a woman, who is a bondmaid, pledged to be married to a husband, and not at all redeemed, nor freedom given her; they shall be punished; they shall not be put to death, because she was not free. ²¹ He shall bring his trespass-offering to the LORD, to the door of the tent of meeting, even a ram for a trespass-offering. ²² The Kohen shall make atonement for him with the ram of the trespass-offering before the LORD for his sin which he has sinned: and the sin which he has sinned shall be forgiven him. ²³ 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 their uncircumcision: three years shall they be as uncircumcised to you; it shall not be eaten. ²⁴ But in the fourth year all the fruit of it shall be holy, for giving praise to the LORD. ²⁵ In the fifth year shall you eat of the fruit of it, that it may yield to you the increase of it: I am the LORD your God. ²⁶ You shall not eat anything with the blood: neither shall you use enchantments, nor practice sorcery. ²⁷ You shall not cut the hair on the sides of your heads, neither shall you clip off the edge of your beard. ²⁸ You shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks on you: I am the LORD. ²⁹ Don't profane your daughter, to make her a prostitute; lest the land fall to prostitution, and the land become full of wickedness.

³⁰ You shall keep my Shabbatot, and reverence my sanctuary; I am the LORD. ³¹ Don't turn to those who have familiar spirits, nor to the wizards; don't seek them out, to be defiled by them: I am the LORD your God. ³² You shall rise up before the gray head, and honor the face of the old man, and you shall fear your God: I am the LORD. ³³ If a stranger sojourn with you in your land, you shall not do him wrong. ³⁴ The stranger who sojourns with you shall be to you as the home-born among you, and you shall love him as yourself; for you were sojourners in the land of Mitzrayim: I am the LORD your God. ³⁵ You shall do no unrighteousness in judgment, in measures of length, of weight, or of quantity. ³⁶ Just balances, just weights, a just efah, and a just hin, shall you have: I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Mitzrayim. ³⁷ You shall observe all my statutes, and all my ordinances, and do them: I am the LORD.
