Leviticus 19:21-37

21He shall bring his guilt offering to the Lord to the doorway of the tent of meeting, 1a ram for a guilt offering. 22The priest shall also make atonement for him with the ram of the guilt offering before the Lord for his sin which he has committed, and the sin which he has committed will be forgiven him.

23‘When you enter the land and plant all kinds of trees for food, then you shall count their fruit as 2forbidden. Three years it shall be 3forbidden to you; it shall not be eaten. 24But in the fourth year all its fruit shall be holy, an offering of praise to the Lord. 25In the fifth year you are to eat of its fruit, that its yield may increase for you; I am the Lord your God.

26‘You shall not eat anything 4with the blood, nor practice 5divination or soothsaying. 276You shall not round off the side-growth of your heads nor harm the edges of your beard. 28You shall not make any cuts in your 7body for the 8dead nor make any tattoo marks on yourselves: I am the Lord.

29‘9Do not 10profane your daughter by making her a harlot, so that the land will not fall to harlotry and the land become full of lewdness. 30You shall 11keep My sabbaths and 12revere My sanctuary; I am the Lord.

31‘Do not turn to 1314mediums or spiritists; do not seek them out to be defiled by them. I am the Lord your God.

32‘15You shall rise up before the grayheaded and honor the 16aged, and you shall revere your God; I am the Lord.

33‘17When a stranger resides with you in your land, you shall not do him wrong. 34The stranger who resides with you shall be to you as the native among you, and 18you shall love him as yourself, for you were aliens in the land of Egypt; I am the Lord your God.

35‘19You shall do no wrong in judgment, in measurement of weight, or capacity. 36You shall have 20just balances, just weights, a just 21ephah, and a just 22hin; I am the Lord your God, who brought you out from the land of Egypt. 37You shall thus observe all My statutes and all My ordinances and do them; I am the Lord.’”
