Leviticus 19:26-37
26‘You shall not eatH398 any meat 1with the bloodH1818. You shall not practiceH5172 2divinationH5172 nor soothsayingH6049. 273You shall not roundH5362 offH5362 the 4hairlineH6285 of your headsH7218, norH3808 trimH7843 the edgesH6285 of your beardH2206. 28You shall not makeH5414 any cutsH8296 in your 5bodyH1320 for the 6deadH5315, norH3808 makeH5414 any tattooH3793H7085 marksH3793 on yourselves: I am the LordH3068.
29‘7Do 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 8keepH8104 My SabbathsH7676 and 9revereH3372 My sanctuaryH4720; I am the LordH3068.
31‘Do not turnH6437 to 1011mediumsH178 or spiritistsH3049; do not seekH1245 them outH1245 to be defiledH2930 by them. I am the LordH3068 your GodH430.
32‘12You shall standH6965 upH6965 in the presenceH6440 of the grayheadedH7872 and honorH1921 13eldersH6440H2205, and you shall 14fearH3372 your GodH430; I am the LordH3068.
33‘15WhenH3588 a strangerH1616 residesH1481 with you in your landH776, you shall not 16doH3238 him wrongH3238. 34The strangerH1616 who residesH1481 with you shall be to you as the nativeH249 amongH854 you, and 17you shall loveH157 him as yourself, for you were strangersH1616 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714; I am the LordH3068 your GodH430.
35‘18You shall doH6213 noH3808 wrongH5766 in judgmentH4941, in measurementH4060 of weightH4948, or volumeH4884. 36You shall haveH1961 19accurateH6664 balancesH3976, accurateH6664 weightsH68, an accurateH6664 20ephahH374, and an accurateH6664 21hinH1969; 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.’”
