Leviticus 19:19-32

19The people must obey God's rules. They must not let two different kinds of animals have sex together. They must not put two different kinds of seeds in one field. They must not make clothes from two different materials.

20A slave girl belongs to a man. Another man must not have sex with her. If he does, he is doing a wrong thing. But the girl is not free. He has not bought her. You must punish them. But you must not kill them because the girl was not free.

21The man must bring a male sheep to the door of the Tent of Meeting. It is an offering to the Lord.

22The priest will sacrifice the gift to the Lord. The sacrifice will atone for the man's sin. Then the Lord will forgive the man.

23When you go into Canaan, a person may plant a fruit tree there. But he must not eat the fruit for three years.

24In the fourth year, the fruit is holy. It is an offering to praise the Lord.

25In the fifth year, the people can eat the fruit. If they do this, the trees will give much fruit to the people. I am the Lord your God.

26You must not eat any meat that has the blood in it. You must not do magic. You must not use magic to learn about future times.

27A man must not cut the hair on the sides of his head. He must not cut the edges of his beard.

28He must not cut his body to remember the dead people. He must not paint his body. I am the Lord your God.

29He must not sell his daughter for sex. You would make her ashamed. If he does this, all the people might do the same. The whole land would become full of sin.

30God has said what the people can do on the Sabbath day of rest. On the day of rest, the people must do only those things. They must respect the Lord's house. I am the Lord.

31They must not ask people who do magic to help them. That would make Israel's people unclean. I am the Lord your God.

32The people must stand up when they are with old people. They must respect the old people. They must give honour to their God. I am the Lord your God.
