Leviticus 19:26-37

26‘You shall not eatH398 anything 1with the bloodH1818, norH3808 practiceH5172 2divinationH5172 or soothsayingH6049. 273You shall not roundH5362 off the side-growthH6285 of your headsH7218 norH3808 harmH7843 the edgesH6285 of your beardH2206. 28You shall not makeH5414 any cutsH8296 in your 4bodyH1320 for the 5deadH5315 norH3808 makeH5414 any tattooH3793H7085 marksH3793 on yourselves: I am the LordH3068.

29‘6Do not 7profaneH2455 your daughterH1323 by makingH2181 her a harlotH2181, so that the landH776 will not fallH2181 to harlotryH2181 and the landH776 becomeH4390 fullH4390 of lewdnessH2154. 30You shall 8keepH8104 My sabbathsH7676 and 9revereH3372 My sanctuaryH4720; I am the LordH3068.

31‘Do not turnH6437 to 1011mediumsH178 or spiritistsH3049; do not seekH1245 them out to be defiledH2930 by them. I am the LordH3068 your GodH430.

32‘12You shall riseH6965 up beforeH4480H6440 the grayheadedH7872 and honorH1921 the 13agedH6440H2205, and you shall revereH3372 your GodH430; I am the LordH3068.

33‘14WhenH3588 a strangerH1616 residesH1481 with you in your landH776, you shall not doH3238 him wrongH3238. 34The strangerH1616 who residesH1481 with you shall be to you as the nativeH249 amongH854 you, and 15you shall loveH157 him as yourself, for you were aliensH1616 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714; I am the LordH3068 your GodH430.

35‘16You shall doH6213 noH3808 wrongH5766 in judgmentH4941, in measurementH4060 of weightH4948, or capacityH4884. 36You shall haveH1961 17justH6664 balancesH3976, justH6664 weightsH68, a justH6664 18ephahH374, and a justH6664 19hinH1969; I am the LordH3068 your GodH430, whoH834 broughtH3318 you out from the landH776 of EgyptH4714. 37You shall thus observeH8104 allH3605 My statutesH2708 and allH3605 My ordinancesH4941 and doH6213 them; I am the LordH3068.’”
