¹The LORD spoke to Moses , saying ,

²“Speak to all the congregation of the children of Israel , and tell them , ‘You shall be holy ; for I , the LORD your God , am holy .

³“‘Each one of you shall respect his mother and his father. You shall keep my Sabbaths . I am the LORD your God .

⁴“‘Don’t turn to idols, nor make molten gods for yourselves . I am the LORD your God .

⁵“‘When you offer a sacrifice of peace offerings to the LORD , you shall offer it so that you may be accepted .

⁶It shall be eaten the same day you offer it , and on the next day . If anything remains until the third day , it shall be burnt with fire.

⁷If it is eaten at all on the third day , it is an abomination . It will not be accepted ;

⁸but 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 gleanings of your harvest .

¹⁰You shall not glean your vineyard , neither shall you gather the fallen grapes of your vineyard . You shall leave them for the poor and for the foreigner . I am the LORD your God .

¹¹“‘You shall not steal .

“‘You shall not lie .

“‘You shall not deceive one another .

¹²“‘You shall not swear by my name falsely , and profane the name of your God . I am the LORD .[#19:12 or GOD in all caps is from the Hebrew יהוה Yahweh except when otherwise noted as being from the short form יה Yah.]

¹³“‘You shall not oppress your neighbour , 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 injustice in judgement. You shall not be partial to the poor , nor show favouritism to the great ; but you shall judge your neighbour in righteousness .

¹⁶“‘You shall not go around as a slanderer amongst your people .

“‘You shall not endanger the life of your neighbour . I am the LORD .

¹⁷“‘You shall not hate your brother in your heart . You shall surely rebuke your neighbour , 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 neighbour as yourself. I am the LORD .

¹⁹“‘You shall keep my statutes .

“‘You shall not cross-breed different kinds of animals.

“‘You shall not sow your field with two kinds of seed ;

“‘Don’t wear a garment made of two kinds of material .

²⁰“‘If a man lies carnally with a woman who is a slave girl , pledged to be married to another man , and not ransomed or given her freedom ; they shall be punished. They shall not be put to death , because she was not free .

²¹He shall bring his trespass offering to the LORD , to the door of the Tent of Meeting , even a ram for a trespass offering .

²²The priest shall make atonement for him with the ram of the trespass offering before the LORD for his sin which he has committed ; and the sin which he has committed shall be forgiven him .

²³“‘When you come into the land, and have planted all kinds of trees for food , then you shall count their fruit as forbidden . For three years it shall be forbidden to you . It shall not be eaten .[#19:23 literally, “uncircumcised”]

²⁴But in the fourth year all its fruit shall be holy , for giving praise to the LORD .

²⁵In the fifth year you shall eat its fruit , that it may yield its increase to you . I am the LORD your God .

²⁶“‘You shall not eat any meat with the blood still in it . You shall not use enchantments , nor practise sorcery.

²⁷“‘You shall not cut the hair on the sides of your head or clip off the edge of your beard .

²⁸“‘You shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead , nor tattoo 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 Sabbaths , and reverence my sanctuary ; I am the LORD .

³¹“‘Don’t turn to those who are mediums, 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 grey head and honour the face of the elderly; and you shall fear your God . I am the LORD .

³³“‘If a stranger lives as a foreigner with you in your land, you shall not do him wrong .

³⁴The stranger who lives as a foreigner with you shall be to you as the native-born amongst you , and you shall love him as yourself; for you lived as foreigners in the land of Egypt . I am the LORD your God .

³⁵“‘You shall do no unrighteousness in judgement, in measures of length, of weight , or of quantity.

³⁶You 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 .[#19:36 1 ephah is about 22 litres or about 2/3 of a bushel; #19:36 A hin is about 6.5 litres or 1.7 gallons.]

³⁷“‘You shall observe all my statutes and all my ordinances , and do them . I am the LORD .’”
