* And the LORD spake unto Moses , saying , * Speak unto all the congregation of the children of Israel , and say unto them , Ye shall be holy : for I the LORD your God am holy . * Ye shall fear every man his mother , and his father , and keep my sabbaths : I am the LORD your God . * Turn ye not unto idols , nor make to yourselves molten gods : I am the LORD your God . * And if ye offer a sacrifice of peace offerings unto the LORD , ye shall offer it at your own will . * It shall be eaten the same day ye offer it , and on the morrow : and if ought remain until the third day , it shall be burnt in the fire . * And if it be eaten at all on the third day , it is abominable ; it shall not be accepted . * Therefore every one that eateth it shall bear his iniquity , because he hath profaned the hallowed thing of the LORD : and that soul shall be cut off from among his people . * And when ye reap the harvest of your land , thou shalt not wholly reap the corners of thy field , neither shalt thou gather the gleanings of thy harvest . * And thou shalt not glean thy vineyard , neither shalt thou gather every grape of thy vineyard ; thou shalt leave them for the poor and stranger : I am the LORD your God . * Ye shall not steal , neither deal falsely , neither lie one to another . * And ye shall not swear by my name falsely , neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God : I am the LORD . * Thou shalt not defraud thy neighbour , neither rob him : the wages of him that is hired shall not abide with thee all night until the morning . * Thou shalt not curse the deaf , nor put a stumblingblock before the blind , but shalt fear thy God : I am the LORD . * Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment : thou shalt not respect the person of the poor , nor honour the person of the mighty : but in righteousness shalt thou judge thy neighbour . * Thou shalt not go up and down as a talebearer among thy people : neither shalt thou stand against the blood of thy neighbour : I am the LORD . * Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thine heart : thou shalt in any wise rebuke thy neighbour , and not suffer sin upon him . * Thou shalt not avenge , nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people , but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself : I am the LORD . * Ye shall keep my statutes . Thou shalt not let thy cattle gender with a diverse kind : thou shalt not sow thy field with mingled seed : neither shall a garment mingled of linen and woollen come upon thee . * And whosoever lieth carnally with a woman , that is a bondmaid , betrothed to an husband , and not at all redeemed , nor freedom given her ; she shall be scourged ; they shall not be put to death , because she was not free . * And he shall bring his trespass offering unto the LORD , unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation , even a ram for a trespass offering . * And the priest shall make an atonement for him with the ram of the trespass offering before the LORD for his sin which he hath done : and the sin which he hath done shall be forgiven him . * And when ye shall come into the land , and shall have planted all manner of trees for food , then ye shall count the fruit thereof as uncircumcised : three years shall it be as uncircumcised unto you : it shall not be eaten of . * But in the fourth year all the fruit thereof shall be holy to praise the LORD withal . * And in the fifth year shall ye eat of the fruit thereof , that it may yield unto you the increase thereof : I am the LORD your God . * Ye shall not eat any thing with the blood : neither shall ye use enchantment , nor observe times . * Ye shall not round the corners of your heads , neither shalt thou mar the corners of thy beard . * Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead , nor print any marks upon you : I am the LORD . * Do not prostitute thy daughter , to cause her to be a whore ; lest the land fall to whoredom , and the land become full of wickedness . * Ye shall keep my sabbaths , and reverence my sanctuary : I am the LORD . * Regard not them that have familiar spirits , neither seek after wizards , to be defiled by them : I am the LORD your God . * Thou shalt rise up before the hoary head , and honour the face of the old man , and fear thy God : I am the LORD . * And if a stranger sojourn with thee in your land , ye shall not vex him . * But the stranger that dwelleth with you shall be unto you as one born among you , and thou shalt love him as thyself ; for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt : I am the LORD your God . * Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment , in meteyard , in weight , or in measure . * Just balances , just weights , a just ephah , and a just hin , shall ye have : I am the LORD your God , which brought you out of the land of Egypt . * Therefore shall ye observe all my statutes , and all my judgments , and do them : I am the LORD . * And the LORD spake unto Moses , saying , * Again , thou shalt say to the children of Israel , Whosoever he be of the children of Israel , or of the strangers that sojourn in Israel , that giveth any of his seed unto Molech ; he shall surely be put to death : the people of the land shall stone him with stones . * And I will set my face against that man , and will cut him off from among his people ; because he hath given of his seed unto Molech , to defile my sanctuary , and to profane my holy name . * And if the people of the land do any ways hide their eyes from the man , when he giveth of his seed unto Molech , and kill him not : * Then I will set my face against that man , and against his family , and will cut him off , and all that go a whoring after him , to commit whoredom with Molech , from among their people . * And the soul that turneth after such as have familiar spirits , and after wizards , to go a whoring after them , I will even set my face against that soul , and will cut him off from among his people . * Sanctify yourselves therefore , and be ye holy : for I am the LORD your God . * And ye shall keep my statutes , and do them : I am the LORD which sanctify you . * For every one that curseth his father or his mother shall be surely put to death : he hath cursed his father or his mother ; his blood shall be upon him . * And the man that committeth adultery with another man 's wife , even he that committeth adultery with his neighbour 's wife , the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death . * And the man that lieth with his father 's wife hath uncovered his father 's nakedness : both of them shall surely be put to death ; their blood shall be upon them . * And if a man lie with his daughter in law , both of them shall surely be put to death : they have wrought confusion ; their blood shall be upon them . * If a man also lie with mankind , as he lieth with a woman , both of them have committed an abomination : they shall surely be put to death ; their blood shall be upon them . * And if a man take a wife and her mother , it is wickedness : they shall be burnt with fire , both he and they ; that there be no wickedness among you . * And if a man lie with a beast , he shall surely be put to death : and ye shall slay the beast . * And if a woman approach unto any beast , and lie down thereto , thou shalt kill the woman , and the beast : they shall surely be put to death ; their blood shall be upon them . * And if a man shall take his sister , his father 's daughter , or his mother 's daughter , and see her nakedness , and she see his nakedness ; it is a wicked thing ; and they shall be cut off in the sight of their people : he hath uncovered his sister 's nakedness ; he shall bear his iniquity . * And if a man shall lie with a woman having her sickness , and shall uncover her nakedness ; he hath discovered her fountain , and she hath uncovered the fountain of her blood : and both of them shall be cut off from among their people . * And thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy mother 's sister , nor of thy father 's sister : for he uncovereth his near kin : they shall bear their iniquity . * And if a man shall lie with his uncle 's wife , he hath uncovered his uncle 's nakedness : they shall bear their sin ; they shall die childless . * And if a man shall take his brother 's wife , it is an unclean thing : he hath uncovered his brother 's nakedness ; they shall be childless . * Ye shall therefore keep all my statutes , and all my judgments , and do them : that the land , whither I bring you to dwell therein , spue you not out . * And ye shall not walk in the manners of the nation , which I cast out before you : for they committed all these things , and therefore I abhorred them . * But I have said unto you , Ye shall inherit their land , and I will give it unto you to possess it , a land that floweth with milk and honey : I am the LORD your God , which have separated you from other people . * Ye shall therefore put difference between clean beasts and unclean , and between unclean fowls and clean : and ye shall not make your souls abominable by beast , or by fowl , or by any manner of living thing that creepeth on the ground , which I have separated from you as unclean . * And ye shall be holy unto me : for I the LORD am holy , and have severed you from other people , that ye should be mine . * A man also or woman that hath a familiar spirit , or that is a wizard , shall surely be put to death : they shall stone them with stones : their blood shall be upon them . * And the LORD said unto Moses , Speak unto the priests the sons of Aaron , and say unto them , There shall none be defiled for the dead among his people :
