* And the LORD said to Moses , * "Say to all the congregation of the people of Israel , You shall be holy ; for I the LORD your God am holy . * Every one of you shall revere his mother and his father , and you shall keep my sabbaths : I am the LORD your God . * Do not turn to idols or make for yourselves molten gods : I am the LORD your God . * "When you offer a sacrifice of peace offerings to the LORD , you shall offer it so that you may be accepted . * It shall be eaten the same day you offer it , or on the morrow ; and anything left over until the third day shall be burned with fire . * If it is eaten at all on the third day , it is an abomination ; it will not be accepted , * and every one who eats it shall bear his iniquity , because he has profaned a holy thing of the LORD ; and that person shall be cut off from his people . * "When you reap the harvest of your land , you shall not reap your field to its very border , neither shall you gather the gleanings after your harvest . * And you shall not strip your vineyard bare , neither shall you gather the fallen grapes of your vineyard ; you shall leave them for the poor and for the sojourner : I am the LORD your God . * "You shall not steal , nor deal falsely , nor lie to one another . * And you shall not swear by my name falsely , and so profane the name of your God : I am the LORD . * "You shall not oppress your neighbor or rob him . The wages of a hired servant shall not remain with you all night until the morning . * You shall not curse the deaf or put a stumbling block before the blind , but you shall fear your God : I am the LORD . * "You shall do no injustice in judgment ; you shall not be partial to the poor or defer to the great , but in righteousness shall you judge your neighbor . * You shall not go up and down as a slanderer among your people , and you shall not stand forth against the life of your neighbor : I am the LORD . * "You shall not hate your brother in your heart , but you shall reason with your neighbor , lest you bear sin because of him . * You shall not take vengeance or bear any grudge against the sons of your own people , but you shall love your neighbor as yourself : I am the LORD . * "You shall keep my statutes . You shall not let your cattle breed with a different kind ; you shall not sow your field with two kinds of seed ; nor shall there come upon you a garment of cloth made of two kinds of stuff . * "If a man lies carnally with a woman who is a slave , betrothed to another man and not yet ransomed or given her freedom , an inquiry shall be held . They shall not be put to death , because she was not free ; * but he shall bring a guilt offering for himself to the LORD , to the door of the tent of meeting , a ram for a guilt offering . * And the priest shall make atonement for him with the ram of the guilt offering before the LORD for his sin which he has committed ; and the sin which he has committed shall be forgiven him . * "When you come into the land and plant all kinds of trees for food , then you shall count their fruit as forbidden ; three years it shall be forbidden to you , it must not be eaten . * And in the fourth year all their fruit shall be holy , an offering of praise to the LORD . * But in the fifth year you may eat of their fruit , that they may yield more richly for you : I am the LORD your God . * "You shall not eat any flesh with the blood in it . You shall not practice augury or witchcraft . * You shall not round off the hair on your temples or mar the edges of your beard . * You shall not make any cuttings in your flesh on account of the dead or tattoo any marks upon you : I am the LORD . * "Do not profane your daughter by making her a harlot , lest the land fall into harlotry and the land become full of wickedness . * You shall keep my sabbaths and reverence my sanctuary : I am the LORD . * "Do not turn to mediums or wizards ; do not seek them out , to be defiled by them : I am the LORD your God . * "You shall rise up before the hoary head , and honor the face of an old man , and you shall fear your God : I am the LORD . * "When a stranger sojourns with you in your land , you shall not do him wrong . * The stranger who sojourns with you shall be to you as the native among you , and you shall love him as yourself ; for you were strangers in the land of Egypt : I am the LORD your God . * "You shall do no wrong in judgment , in measures of length or weight or quantity . * You shall have just balances , just weights , a just ephah , and a just hin : I am the LORD your God , who brought you out of the land of Egypt . * And you shall observe all my statutes and all my ordinances , and do them : I am the LORD ."
