Leviticus 19:26-37
26‘You shall not eat anything 1with the blood, nor practice 2divination or soothsaying. 273You 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 4body for the 5dead nor make any tattoo marks on yourselves: I am the Lord.
29‘6Do not 7profane 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 8keep My sabbaths and 9revere My sanctuary; I am the Lord.
31‘Do not turn to 1011mediums or spiritists; do not seek them out to be defiled by them. I am the Lord your God.
32‘12You shall rise up before the grayheaded and honor the 13aged, and you shall revere your God; I am the Lord.
33‘14When 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 15you shall love him as yourself, for you were aliens in the land of Egypt; I am the Lord your God.
35‘16You shall do no wrong in judgment, in measurement of weight, or capacity. 36You shall have 17just balances, just weights, a just 18ephah, and a just 19hin; 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.’”
