Leviticus 19:21-37

21He is to bring his trespass ­offering to Adonai, to the entrance of the Tent of Meeting—a ram for a guilt offering.

22The kohen is to make atonement for him with the ram of the trespass offering before Adonai for his sin that he committed, and the sin that he committed will be forgiven him.

23“When you come into the land and have planted all kinds of trees for food, you are to consider their fruit as forbidden. Three years it will be forbidden to you. It is not to be eaten.

24Then in the fourth year all its fruit will be holy, for giving praise to Adonai.

25In the fifth year you may eat its fruit. So it will yield its increase to you. I am Adonai your God.

26“You are not to eat any meat with the blood still in it, nor are you to use enchantments, or practice sorcery.

27“You are not to round off the hair on the sides of your heads, nor are you to mar the edge of your beard.

28You are not to make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead or make any tattoo marks upon yourself. I am Adonai.

29“Do not defile your daughter, to make her a prostitute, so that the land does not fall into prostitution, and become full of wickedness.

30“You are to keep My Shabbatot, and reverence My Sanctuary. I am Adonai.

31“Do not turn to those who are mediums or to soothsayers. Do not seek them out to be defiled by them. I am Adonai your God.

32“You are to rise up in the presence of the gray-haired and honor the presence of the elderly. So you will fear your God. I am Adonai.

33“If an outsider dwells with you in your land, you shall do him no wrong.

34The outsider dwelling among you should be to you as the native-born among you. You should love him as yourself—for you dwelled as outsiders in the land of Egypt. I am Adonai your God.

35“You must not be dishonest in judgment—in measurements of length, weight or of quantity.

36You are to have honest balances, honest weights, honest bushel-measure and an honest gallon. I am Adonai your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt.

37You must observe all My statutes and all My ordinances—do them. I am Adonai.”
