Leviticus 19:21-37

21And he shall bringH935 his trespass offeringH817 unto YhwhH3068, unto the doorH6607 of the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150, even a ramH352 for a trespass offeringH817. 22And the priestH3548 shall make an atonementH3722 for him with the ramH352 of the trespass offeringH817 beforeH6440 YhwhH3068 for his sinH2403 which he hath doneH2398: and the sinH2403 which he hath doneH2398 shall be forgivenH5545 him.

23And when ye shall comeH935 into the landH776, and shall have plantedH5193 all manner of treesH6086 for foodH3978, then ye shall countH6188 the fruitH6529 thereof as uncircumcisedH6190: threeH7969 yearsH8141 shall it be as uncircumcisedH6189 unto you: it shall not be eatenH398 of. 24But in the fourthH7243 yearH8141 all the fruitH6529 thereof shall be holyH6944 to praiseH1974 YhwhH3068 withal.1 25And in the fifthH2549 yearH8141 shall ye eatH398 of the fruitH6529 thereof, that it may yieldH3254 unto you the increaseH8393 thereof: I am YhwhH3068 your GodH430.

26Ye shall not eatH398 any thing with the bloodH1818: neither shall ye use enchantmentH5172, nor observe timesH6049. 27Ye shall not roundH5362 the cornersH6285 of your headsH7218, neither shalt thou marH7843 the cornersH6285 of thy beardH2206. 28Ye shall not makeH5414 anyH3793 cuttingsH8296 in your fleshH1320 for the deadH5315, nor printH5414 any marksH7085 upon you: I am YhwhH3068.

29Do not prostituteH2490 thy daughterH1323, to cause her to be a whoreH2181; lest the landH776 fall to whoredomH2181, and the landH776 become fullH4390 of wickednessH2154.2

30Ye shall keepH8104 my sabbathsH7676, and reverenceH3372 my sanctuaryH4720: I am YhwhH3068.

31RegardH6437 not them that have familiar spiritsH178, neither seekH1245 after wizardsH3049, to be defiledH2930 by them: I am YhwhH3068 your GodH430.

32Thou shalt rise upH6965 beforeH6440 the hoary headH7872, and honourH1921 the faceH6440 of the old manH2205, and fearH3372 thy GodH430: I am YhwhH3068.

33And if a strangerH1616 sojournH1481 with thee in your landH776, ye shall not vexH3238 him.3 34But the strangerH1616 that dwellethH1481 with you shall be unto you as one bornH249 among you, and thou shalt loveH157 him as thyself; for ye were strangersH1616 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714: I am YhwhH3068 your GodH430.

35Ye shall doH6213 no unrighteousnessH5766 in judgmentH4941, in meteyardH4060, in weightH4948, or in measureH4884. 36JustH6664 balancesH3976, justH6664 weightsH68, a justH6664 ephahH374, and a justH6664 hinH1969, shall ye have: I am YhwhH3068 your GodH430, which brought you outH3318 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714.4 37Therefore shall ye observeH8104 all my statutesH2708, and all my judgmentsH4941, and doH6213 them: I am YhwhH3068.
