19:1  And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
19:2  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.
19:3  You shall fear every man his mother, and his father, and keep my sabbaths: I am the LORD your God.
19:4  Turn you not unto idols, nor make to yourselves molten gods: I am the LORD your God.
19:5  And if you offer a sacrifice of peace offerings unto the LORD, you shall offer it at your own will.
19:6  It shall be eaten the same day you offer it, and the next day: and if any remains until the third day, it shall be burned in the fire.
19:7  And if it be eaten at all on the third day, it is abominable; it shall not be accepted.
19:8  Therefore every one that eats 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.
19:9  And when you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not wholly reap the corners of your field, neither shall you gather the gleanings of your harvest.
19:10  And you shall not glean your vineyard, neither shall you gather every grape of your vineyard; you shall leave them for the poor and stranger: I am the LORD your God.
19:11  You shall not steal, neither deal falsely, neither lie one to another.
19:12  And you shall not swear by my name falsely, neither shall you profane the name of your God: I am the LORD.
19:13  You shall not defraud your neighbor, neither rob him: the wages of him that is hired shall not abide with you all night until the morning.
19:14  You shall not curse the deaf, nor put a stumbling block before the blind, but shall fear your God: I am the LORD.
19:15  You shall do no unrighteousness in judgment: you shall not be partial to the poor, nor honor the person of the mighty: but in righteousness shall you judge your neighbor.
19:16  You shall not go up and down as a talebearer among your people: neither shall you take a stand against the life of your neighbor: I am the LORD.
19:17  You shall not hate your brother in your heart: you shall surely rebuke your neighbor, and not bear sin because of him.
19:18  You shall not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of your people, but you shall love your neighbor as yourself: I am the LORD.
19:19  You shall keep my statutes. You shall not let your cattle breed with another kind: you shall not sow your field with mixed seed: neither shall a garment of mixed linen and wool come upon you.
19:20  And whosoever lies carnally with a woman, that is a slave, betrothed to a husband, and not at all redeemed, nor freedom given her; there shall be punishment; they shall not be put to death, because she was not free.
19:21  And he shall bring his trespass offering unto the LORD, unto the door of the tabernacle of meeting, even a ram for a trespass offering.
19:22  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.
19:23  And when you shall come into the land, and shall have planted all manner of trees for food, then you shall count the fruit thereof as unclean: three years shall it be as unclean unto you: it shall not be eaten of.
19:24  But in the fourth year all the fruit thereof shall be holy to praise the LORD with.
19:25  And in the fifth year shall you eat of the fruit thereof, that it may yield unto you its increase: I am the LORD your God.
19:26  You shall not eat anything with the blood: neither shall you use divination, nor witchcraft.
19:27  You shall not shave around the sides of your heads, neither shall you disfigure the corners of your beard.
19:28  You shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor tattoo any marks upon you: I am the LORD.
19:29  Do not prostitute your daughter, to cause her to be a harlot; lest the land fall into harlotry, and the land become full of wickedness.
19:30  You shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary: I am the LORD.
19:31  Regard not mediums, neither seek after wizards, to be defiled by them: I am the LORD your God.
19:32  You shall rise up before the gray headed, and honor the face of the old man, and fear your God: I am the LORD.
19:33  And if a stranger sojourns with you in your land, you shall not mistreat him.
19:34  But the stranger that dwells with you shall be unto you as one born among you, and you shall love him as yourself; for you were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.
19:35  You shall do no unrighteousness in judgment, in measures of length, or weight, or quantity.
19:36  Just balances, just weights, a just ephah, and a just hin, shall you have: I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt.
19:37  Therefore shall you observe all my statutes, and all my judgments, and do them: I am the LORD.
