Idolatry Forbidden
(1) The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
(2) "Speak to all the congregation of the children of Israel, and say to them, 'YOU shall be holy, for I the LORD YOUR God am holy.
(3) 'Each one of YOU shall revere his mother, and his father, and keep my sabbaths; I am the LORD YOUR God.
(4) YOU are not to turn to idols, nor make for yourselves molten gods; I am the LORD YOUR God.
(5) And if YOU offer a sacrifice of peace offerings to the LORD, YOU shall offer it of YOUR own will.
(6) It shall be eaten the same day YOU offer it, and on the next day; and if anything remains until the third day, it shall be burned in the fire.
(7) And if it is eaten at all on the third day, it is an abomination; it shall not be accepted.
(8) Therefore everyone who eats it shall bear his iniquity, because he has profaned the holy thing of the LORD; and that person shall be cut off from among his people.
Love Your Neighbor
(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.
(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 the stranger. I am the LORD YOUR God.
(11) YOU shall not steal, neither deal falsely, neither lie one to another.
(12) And YOU shall not swear by my name falsely, neither shall you profane the name of your God. I am the LORD.
(13) You shall not defraud your neighbor, nor rob him; the wages of him who is hired 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 shall fear your God; I am the LORD.
(15) YOU shall do no injustice in judgment; you shall not favor the poor, nor honor the mighty; but in righteousness you shall judge your neighbor.
(16) You shall not go about as a slanderer among your people; neither shall you stand against the bloodshed of your neighbor; I am the LORD.
(17) You shall not hate your brother in your heart, but you shall rebuke your neighbor, 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 neighbor as yourself; I am the LORD.
Keep My Statutes
(19) 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 seeds; neither shall a garment of mixed linen and wool be worn on you.
(20) Whoever lies carnally with a woman, who is a slave, betrothed to another man, and not yet redeemed, nor given her freedom; she shall be punished, but they shall not be put to death, because she was not free.
(21) He shall bring his trespass offering to the LORD, to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, a ram for a trespass offering.
(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 hath done: and the sin which he hath done shall be forgiven him.
(23) When YOU shall come into the land, and shall have planted all kinds of trees for food, then YOU shall count the fruit from it as uncircumcised; three years shall it be as uncircumcised to YOU; it shall not be eaten.
(24) But in the fourth year all the fruit from it shall be holy to praise the LORD with.
(25) And in the fifth year YOU shall eat of the fruit from it, that it may yield to YOU the increase of it; I am the LORD YOUR God.
Do Not Eat Anything With the Blood
(26) YOU shall not eat anything with the blood, neither shall YOU use enchantments, nor practice sorcery.
(27) YOU shall not cut around the sides of YOUR heads, neither shall you mar the sides of your beard.
(28) YOU shall not make any cuttings in YOUR flesh for the dead, nor print any marks on YOU; I am the LORD.
(29) Do not prostitute your daughter, to cause her to be a whore, lest the land fall into whoredom, and the land become full of wickedness.
(30) YOU shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary; I am the LORD.
Do Not Seek After Wizards
(31) Do not regard those that have familiar spirits, neither seek after wizards, to be defiled by them; I am the LORD YOUR God.
(32) You shall rise up before the gray head, and honor the face of the old man, and fear your God; I am the LORD.
(33) If a stranger dwells with you in YOUR land, YOU shall not mistreat him.
(34) The stranger that dwells with YOU shall be to 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.
(35) YOU shall do no unrighteousness in judgment, in measures, in weight, or in other measures.
(36) 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.
(37) Therefore YOU shall observe all my statutes, and all my judgments, and do them; I am the LORD.' "
