Leviticus 19:26-37

26‘You shall not eat anything with the blood, nor shall you practice divination or soothsaying.

27You shall not shave around the sides of your head, nor shall you disfigure the edges of your beard.

28You shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor tattoo any marks on you: I am the Lord.

29‘Do not prostitute your daughter, to cause her to be a harlot, lest the land fall into harlotry, and the land become full of wickedness.

30‘You shall keep My Sabbaths and reverence My sanctuary: I am the Lord.

31‘Give no regard to mediums and familiar spirits; do not seek after them, to be defiled by them: I am the Lord your God.

32‘You shall rise before the gray headed and honor the presence of an old man, and fear your God: I am the Lord.

33‘And if a stranger dwells with you in your land, you shall not mistreat him.

34The stranger who dwells among you shall be to you as one born among you, and you shall love him as yourself; for you were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.

35‘You shall do no injustice in judgment, in measurement of length, weight, or volume.

36You shall have honest scales, honest weights, an honest ephah, and an honest hin: I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt.

37‘Therefore you shall observe all My statutes and all My judgments, and perform them: I am the Lord.’ ”
