Amplified Bible
Leviticus 19:21-37
21but he shall bring his guilt offering to the Lord to the doorway of the Tent of Meeting, a ram as a guilt offering.
22The priest shall make atonement for him with the ram of the guilt offering before the Lord for his sin which he has committed; and he shall be forgiven for his sin.
23‘When you enter the land and plant all kinds of trees for food, then you shall consider their fruit forbidden. For three years the fruit shall be forbidden to you; it shall not be eaten.
24In the fourth year all the fruit shall be holy, an offering of praise to the Lord.
25In the fifth year you may eat the fruit [of the trees], this is so that their yield may increase for you; I am the Lord your God.
26‘You shall not eat anything with the blood, nor practice divination [using omens or witchcraft] or soothsaying.
27You shall not trim and round off the side-growth of [the hair on] your heads, nor mar the edges of your beard.
28You shall not make any cuts on your body [in mourning] for the dead, nor make any tattoo marks on yourselves; I am the Lord.
29‘Do not profane your daughter by making her a prostitute, so that the land will not fall to prostitution and become full of wickedness.
30You shall keep My Sabbaths and revere My sanctuary. I am the Lord.
31‘Do not turn to mediums [who pretend to consult the dead] or to spiritists [who have spirits of divination]; do not seek them out to be defiled by them. I am the Lord your God.
32‘You shall rise before the gray-headed and honor the aged, and you shall fear your God [with profound reverence]; I am the Lord.
33‘When a stranger resides with you in your land, you shall not oppress or mistreat him.
34But the stranger who resides with you shall be to you like someone native-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 wrong in judgment, in measurement of weight or quantity.
36You shall have just and accurate 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.
37You shall observe and keep all My statutes and all My ordinances and do them. I am the Lord.’ ”
