Leviticus:19-21
Seeker Overlay ON
*
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 :
*
But for his kin ,
that is near unto him ,
that is ,
for his mother ,
and for his father ,
and for his son ,
and for his daughter ,
and for his brother ,
*
And for his sister a virgin ,
that is nigh unto him ,
which hath had no husband ;
for her may he be defiled .
*
But he shall not defile himself ,
being a chief man among his people ,
to profane himself .
*
They shall not make baldness upon their head ,
neither shall they shave off the corner of their beard ,
nor make any cuttings in their flesh .
*
They shall be holy unto their God ,
and not profane the name of their God :
for the offerings of the LORD made by fire ,
and the bread of their God ,
they do offer :
therefore they shall be holy .
*
They shall not take a wife that is a whore ,
or profane ;
neither shall they take a woman put away from her husband :
for he is holy unto his God .
*
Thou shalt sanctify him therefore ;
for he offereth the bread of thy God :
he shall be holy unto thee :
for I the LORD ,
which sanctify you ,
am holy .
*
And the daughter of any priest ,
if she profane herself by playing the whore ,
she profaneth her father :
she shall be burnt with fire .
*
And he that is the high priest among his brethren ,
upon whose head the anointing oil was poured ,
and that is consecrated to put on the garments ,
shall not uncover his head ,
nor rend his clothes ;
*
Neither shall he go in to any dead body ,
nor defile himself for his father ,
or for his mother ;
*
Neither shall he go out of the sanctuary ,
nor profane the sanctuary of his God ;
for the crown of the anointing oil of his God is upon him :
I am the LORD .
*
And he shall take a wife in her virginity .
*
A widow ,
or a divorced woman ,
or profane ,
or an harlot ,
these shall he not take :
but he shall take a virgin of his own people to wife .
*
Neither shall he profane his seed among his people :
for I the LORD do sanctify him .
*
And the LORD spake unto Moses ,
saying ,
*
Speak unto Aaron ,
saying ,
Whosoever he be of thy seed in their generations that hath any blemish ,
let him not approach to offer the bread of his God .
*
For whatsoever man he be that hath a blemish ,
he shall not approach :
a blind man ,
or a lame ,
or he that hath a flat nose ,
or any thing superfluous ,
*
Or a man that is brokenfooted ,
or brokenhanded ,
*
Or crookbackt ,
or a dwarf ,
or that hath a blemish in his eye ,
or be scurvy ,
or scabbed ,
or hath his stones broken ;
*
No man that hath a blemish of the seed of Aaron the priest shall come nigh to offer the offerings of the LORD made by fire :
he hath a blemish ;
he shall not come nigh to offer the bread of his God .
*
He shall eat the bread of his God ,
both of the most holy ,
and of the holy .
*
Only he shall not go in unto the vail ,
nor come nigh unto the altar ,
because he hath a blemish ;
that he profane not my sanctuaries :
for I the LORD do sanctify them .
*
And Moses told it unto Aaron ,
and to his sons ,
and unto all the children of Israel .
*
And the LORD spake unto Moses ,
saying ,
