LEVITICUS
Chapter 19
Levi | JPS | 19:2 | Speak unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, and say unto them: Ye shall be holy; for I HaShem your G-d am holy. | |
Levi | JPS | 19:3 | Ye shall fear every man his mother, and his father, and ye shall keep My sabbaths: I am HaShem your G-d. | |
Levi | JPS | 19:5 | And when ye offer a sacrifice of peace-offerings unto HaShem, ye shall offer it that ye may be accepted. | |
Levi | JPS | 19:6 | It shall be eaten the same day ye offer it, and on the morrow; and if aught remain until the third day, it shall be burnt with fire. | |
Levi | JPS | 19:7 | And if it be eaten at all on the third day, it is a vile thing; it shall not be accepted. | |
Levi | JPS | 19:8 | But every one that eateth it shall bear his iniquity, because he hath profaned the holy thing of HaShem; and that soul shall be cut off from his people. | |
Levi | JPS | 19:9 | And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not wholly reap the corner of thy field, neither shalt thou gather the gleaning of thy harvest. | |
Levi | JPS | 19:10 | And thou shalt not glean thy vineyard, neither shalt thou gather the fallen fruit of thy vineyard; thou shalt leave them for the poor and for the stranger: I am HaShem your G-d. | |
Levi | JPS | 19:12 | And ye shall not swear by My name falsely, so that thou profane the name of thy G-d: I am HaShem. | |
Levi | JPS | 19:13 | Thou shalt not oppress thy neighbour, nor rob him; the wages of a hired servant shall not abide with thee all night until the morning. | |
Levi | JPS | 19:14 | Thou shalt not curse the deaf, nor put a stumbling-block before the blind, but thou shalt fear thy G-d: I am HaShem. | |
Levi | JPS | 19:15 | Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment; thou shalt not respect the person of the poor, nor favour the person of the mighty; but in righteousness shalt thou judge thy neighbour. | |
Levi | JPS | 19:16 | Thou shalt not go up and down as a talebearer among thy people; neither shalt thou stand idly by the blood of thy neighbour: I am HaShem. | |
Levi | JPS | 19:17 | Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thy heart; thou shalt surely rebuke thy neighbour, and not bear sin because of him. | |
Levi | JPS | 19:18 | Thou shalt not take vengeance, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: I am HaShem. | |
Levi | JPS | 19:19 | Ye shall keep My statutes. Thou shalt not let thy cattle gender with a diverse kind; thou shalt not sow thy field with two kinds of seed; neither shall there come upon thee a garment of two kinds of stuff mingled together. | |
Levi | JPS | 19:20 | And whosoever lieth carnally with a woman, that is a bondmaid, designated for a man, and not at all redeemed, nor was freedom given her; there shall be inquisition; they shall not be put to death, because she was not free. | |
Levi | JPS | 19:21 | And he shall bring his forfeit unto HaShem, unto the door of the tent of meeting, even a ram for a guilt-offering. | |
Levi | JPS | 19:22 | And the priest shall make atonement for him with the ram of the guilt-offering before HaShem for his sin which he hath sinned; and he shall be forgiven for his sin which he hath sinned. | |
Levi | JPS | 19:23 | And when ye shall come into the land, and shall have planted all manner of trees for food, then ye shall count the fruit thereof as forbidden; three years shall it be as forbidden unto you; it shall not be eaten. | |
Levi | JPS | 19:24 | And in the fourth year all the fruit thereof shall be holy, for giving praise unto HaShem. | |
Levi | JPS | 19:25 | But in the fifth year may ye eat of the fruit thereof, that it may yield unto you more richly the increase thereof: I am HaShem your G-d. | |
Levi | JPS | 19:26 | Ye shall not eat with the blood; neither shall ye practise divination nor soothsaying. | |
Levi | JPS | 19:27 | Ye shall not round the corners of your heads, neither shalt thou mar the corners of thy beard. | |
Levi | JPS | 19:28 | Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor imprint any marks upon you: I am HaShem. | |
Levi | JPS | 19:29 | Profane not thy daughter, to make her a harlot, lest the land fall into harlotry, and the land become full of lewdness. | |
Levi | JPS | 19:31 | Turn ye not unto the ghosts, nor unto familiar spirits; seek them not out, to be defiled by them: I am HaShem your G-d. | |
Levi | JPS | 19:32 | Thou shalt rise up before the hoary head, and honour the face of the old man, and thou shalt fear thy G-d: I am HaShem. | |
Levi | JPS | 19:34 | The stranger that sojourneth with you shall be unto you as the home-born among you, and thou shalt love him as thyself; for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am HaShem your G-d. | |
Levi | JPS | 19:36 | Just balances, just weights, a just ephah, and a just hin, shall ye have: I am HaShem your G-d, who brought you out of the land of Egypt. | |
