Leviticus 19:21-37

21He shall bringH935 his guiltH817 offeringH817 to the LordH3068 to the doorwayH6607 of the tentH168 of meetingH4150, 1a ramH352 as a guiltH817 offeringH817. 22The priestH3548 shall also makeH3722 atonementH3722 for him with the ramH352 of the guiltH817 offeringH817 beforeH6440 the LordH3068 for his sinH2403 whichH834 he has committedH2398, and the sinH2403 whichH834 he has committedH2398 will be forgivenH5545 him.

23‘Now whenH3588 you enterH935 the landH776 and plantH5193 allH3605 kinds of treesH6086 for foodH3978, then you shall countH6188 their fruitH6529 as 2forbiddenH6190. For threeH7969 yearsH8141 it shall be 3forbiddenH6189 to you; it shall not be eatenH398. 24And in the fourthH7243 yearH8141 allH3605 its fruitH6529 shall be holyH6944, an offering of praiseH1974 to the LordH3068. 25But in the fifthH2549 yearH8141 you shall eatH398 its fruitH6529, so that its yieldH8393 may increaseH3254 for you; I am the LordH3068 your GodH430.

26‘You shall not eatH398 any meat 4with the bloodH1818. You shall not practiceH5172 5divinationH5172 nor soothsayingH6049. 276You shall not roundH5362 offH5362 the 7hairlineH6285 of your headsH7218, norH3808 trimH7843 the edgesH6285 of your beardH2206. 28You shall not makeH5414 any cutsH8296 in your 8bodyH1320 for the 9deadH5315, norH3808 makeH5414 any tattooH3793H7085 marksH3793 on yourselves: I am the LordH3068.

29‘10Do not profaneH2455 your daughterH1323 by makingH2181 her a prostituteH2181, so that the landH776 does not fallH2181 intoH2181 prostitutionH2181, and the landH776 does not becomeH4390 fullH4390 of outrageousH2154 sinH2154. 30You shall 11keepH8104 My SabbathsH7676 and 12revereH3372 My sanctuaryH4720; I am the LordH3068.

31‘Do not turnH6437 to 1314mediumsH178 or spiritistsH3049; do not seekH1245 them outH1245 to be defiledH2930 by them. I am the LordH3068 your GodH430.

32‘15You shall standH6965 upH6965 in the presenceH6440 of the grayheadedH7872 and honorH1921 16eldersH6440H2205, and you shall 17fearH3372 your GodH430; I am the LordH3068.

33‘18WhenH3588 a strangerH1616 residesH1481 with you in your landH776, you shall not 19doH3238 him wrongH3238. 34The strangerH1616 who residesH1481 with you shall be to you as the nativeH249 amongH854 you, and 20you shall loveH157 him as yourself, for you were strangersH1616 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714; I am the LordH3068 your GodH430.

35‘21You shall doH6213 noH3808 wrongH5766 in judgmentH4941, in measurementH4060 of weightH4948, or volumeH4884. 36You shall haveH1961 22accurateH6664 balancesH3976, accurateH6664 weightsH68, an accurateH6664 23ephahH374, and an accurateH6664 24hinH1969; I am the LordH3068 your GodH430, whoH834 broughtH3318 you outH3318 from the landH776 of EgyptH4714. 37So you shall keepH8104 allH3605 My statutesH2708 and allH3605 My ordinancesH4941, and doH6213 them; I am the LordH3068.’”
