Leviticus 19:21-37

21And he shall bringH935 his trespass-offering unto Jehovah, unto the doorH6607 of the tentH168 of meetingH4150, even a ramH352 for a trespass-offering. 22And the priestH3548 shall make atonementH3722 for him with the ramH352 of the trespass-offering before Jehovah for his sinH2398 which he hath sinnedH2398: and the sinH2398 which he hath sinnedH2398 shall be forgivenH5545 him.

23And when ye shall comeH935 into the landH776, and shall have plantedH5193 all manner of treesH6086 for foodH3978, then ye shall count the fruitH6529 thereof as their uncircumcision: threeH7969 yearsH8141 shall they beH1961 as uncircumcisedH6189 unto you; it shall not beH1961 eatenH398. 24But in the fourthH7243 yearH8141 all the fruitH6529 thereof shall beH1961 holyH6944, for giving praise unto Jehovah. 25And in the fifthH2549 yearH8141 shall ye eatH398 of the fruitH6529 thereof, that it may yieldH8393 unto you the increaseH3254 thereof: I am Jehovah your GodH430.

26Ye shall not eatH398 anything with the bloodH1818: neither shall ye use enchantments, nor practise augury. 27Ye shall not roundH5362 the cornersH6285 of your headsH7218, neither shalt thou mar the cornersH6285 of thy beardH2206. 28Ye shall not makeH5414 any cuttings in your fleshH1320 for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am Jehovah.

29ProfaneH2490 not thy daughterH1323, to make her a harlot; lest the landH776 fall to whoredom, and the landH776 become fullH4390 of wickednessH2154. 30Ye shall keepH8104 my sabbathsH7676, and reverence my sanctuaryH4720: I am Jehovah.

31TurnH6437 ye not unto them that have familiar spirits, nor unto the wizards; seekH1245 them not out, to be defiledH2930 by them: I am Jehovah your GodH430.

32Thou shalt riseH6965 up before the hoary head, and honorH1921 the faceH6440 of the oldH2205 manH2205, and thou shalt fearH3372 thy GodH430: I am Jehovah.

33And if a stranger sojourn with thee in your landH776, ye shall not do him wrong. 34The stranger that sojourneth with you shall beH1961 unto you as the home-born among you, and thou shalt loveH157 him as thyself; for ye wereH1961 sojournersH1616 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714: I am Jehovah your GodH430.

35Ye shall do no unrighteousnessH5766 in judgmentH4941, in measures of length, of weightH4948, or of quantity. 36Just balances, just weightsH68, a just ephahH374, and a just hinH1969, shall ye have: I am Jehovah your GodH430, who broughtH3318 you out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714. 37And ye shall observeH8104 all my statutesH2708, and all mine ordinancesH4941, and do them: I am Jehovah.
