Lev. 19:1–37 The Lord strongly commands the people (including the priests) to become holy in their practice, as he is holy (v. 2). They do this by observing all the following negative and positive commandments.
Lev. 19:1–4 The term holy means “set apart, unique, and distinct.” Human holiness means imitating God, becoming and acting like him.
Lev. 19:9–10 Caring for one’s neighbor and helping provide for the poor and the sojourner displays holiness. On the other hand, harvesting right up to the edge of one’s land may suggest selfishness. (For an example of this law being obeyed, see Ruth 2.)
Lev. 19:11–18 Holiness requires that a person keep the Word of God, especially the Ten Commandments.
Lev. 19:17 To hate in one’s heart is prohibited. Instead one should reason frankly with his neighbor (compare Prov. 27:5–6). lest you incur sin because of him. This may mean that the person who refuses to reason with his neighbor, helping him see his sin, would share in the guilt of his sin. It might also mean that a failure to “reason frankly” will result in bitter feelings that will overflow into sinful action.
Lev. 19:18 The instruction of v. 17 is heightened: you shall love your neighbor as yourself. This is a fundamental principle of God’s law.
Lev. 19:19 Two different kinds of domesticated animals are not to be crossbred, and two types of cloth are not to be woven together. Ceremonial holiness requires that things stay in their proper sphere, just as Israel must observe its separation from the nations (20:22–26).
Lev. 19:20–22 The idea of holiness should govern sexual relations. Fair judgment must be made in legal matters pertaining to adultery and promiscuity.
Lev. 19:23–25 Forbidden literally means “uncircumcised.” As a child is not to be circumcised before the eighth day, so the fruit on a tree is not to be harvested until after the third year.
Lev. 19:26–31 These are all practices of the Canaanites. Holiness requires Israel not to act like the ungodly in any area of life.
