Leviticus 19 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

Idolatry Forbidden

1 Then the LORD ^H3068 spoke ^H1696 to Moses ^H4872, saying ^H559:

2 “Speak ^H1696 to all ^H3605 the congregation ^H5712 of the sons ^H1121 of Israel ^H3478 and say ^H559 to them, ‘You shall be holy ^H6918, for I the LORD ^H3068 your God ^H430 am holy ^H6918.

3 Every ^H376 one ^H376 of you shall revere ^H3372 his mother ^H517 and his father ^H1, and you shall keep ^H8104 My Sabbaths ^H7676; I am the LORD ^H3068 your God ^H430. 4 Do not turn ^H6437 to idols ^H457 or make ^H6213 for yourselves cast ^H4541 metal ^H4541 gods ^H430; I am the LORD ^H3068 your God ^H430.

5 ‘Now when ^H3588 you offer ^H2076 a sacrifice ^H2077 of peace ^H8002 offerings ^H8002 to the LORD ^H3068, you shall offer ^H2076 it so that you may be accepted ^H7522. 6 It shall be eaten ^H398 on the same day ^H3117 you offer ^H2077 it, and on the next ^H4283 day ^H4283; but what remains ^H3498 until ^H5704 the third ^H7992 day ^H3117 shall be burned ^H8313 with fire ^H784. 7 So if ^H518 it is eaten ^H398 at ^H398 all ^H398 on the third ^H7992 day ^H3117, it is unclean ^H6292; it will not be accepted ^H7521. 8 And everyone who eats ^H398 it will bear ^H5375 the consequences for his guilt ^H5771, because ^H3588 he has profaned ^H2490 the holy ^H6944 thing ^H6944 of the LORD ^H3068; and that person ^H5315 shall be cut ^H3772 off ^H3772 from his people ^H5971.

Various Laws

9 ‘Now when you reap ^H7114 the harvest ^H7105 of your land ^H776, you shall not reap ^H7114 to the very ^H3615 edges ^H6285 of your field ^H7704, nor ^H3808 shall you gather ^H3950 the gleanings ^H3951 of your harvest ^H7105.

10 And you shall not glean ^H5953 your vineyard ^H3754, nor ^H3808 shall you gather ^H3950 the fallen ^H6528 grapes ^H6528 of your vineyard ^H3754; you shall leave ^H5800 them for the needy ^H6041 and for the stranger ^H1616. I am the LORD ^H3068 your God ^H430.

11 ‘You shall not steal ^H1589, nor ^H3808 deal ^H3584 falsely ^H3584, nor ^H3808 lie ^H8266 to one ^H376 another ^H5997. 12 And you shall not swear ^H7650 falsely ^H8267 by My name ^H8034, so as to profane ^H2455 the name ^H8034 of your God ^H430; I am the LORD ^H3068.

13 ‘You shall not oppress ^H6231 your neighbor ^H7453, nor ^H3808 rob ^H1497 him. The wages ^H6468 of a hired ^H7916 worker ^H7916 are not to remain ^H3885 with you all ^H3885 night ^H3885 until ^H5704 morning ^H1242. 14 You shall not curse ^H7043 a person ^H2795 who is deaf ^H2795, nor ^H3808 put ^H5414 a stumbling ^H4383 block ^H4383 before ^H6440 a person ^H5787 who is blind ^H5787, but you shall revere ^H3372 your God ^H430; I am the LORD ^H3068.

15 ‘You shall not do ^H6213 injustice ^H5766 in judgment ^H4941; you shall not show ^H5375 partiality ^H5375 H6440 to the poor ^H1800 nor ^H3808 give ^H1921 preference ^H1921 H6440 to the great ^H1419, but you are to judge ^H8199 your neighbor ^H5997 fairly ^H6664. 16 You shall not go ^H1980 about ^H1980 as a slanderer ^H7400 among your people ^H5971; and you are not to [fn]jeopardize ^H5975 H5921 the [fn]life ^H1818 of your neighbor ^H7453. I am the LORD ^H3068.

17 ‘You shall not hate ^H8130 your fellow ^H251 countryman ^H251 in your heart ^H3824; you may certainly ^H3198 rebuke ^H3198 your neighbor ^H5997, but you are not to incur ^H5375 sin ^H2399 because ^H5921 of him. 18 You shall not take ^H5358 vengeance ^H5358, nor ^H3808 hold ^H5201 any grudge ^H5201 against ^H854 the sons ^H1121 of your people ^H5971, but you shall love ^H157 your neighbor ^H7453 as yourself; I am the LORD ^H3068.

19 ‘You are to keep ^H8104 My statutes ^H2708. You shall not cross-breed ^H7250 two ^H3610 kinds ^H3610 of your cattle ^H929; you shall not sow ^H2232 your field ^H7704 with two ^H3610 kinds ^H3610 of seed, nor ^H3808 wear ^H5927 H5921 a garment ^H899 of two ^H3610 kinds ^H3610 of material ^H8162 mixed ^H8162 together ^H8162.

20 ‘Now if ^H3588 a man ^H376 has ^H7901 sexual ^H2233 relations ^H7902 with a woman ^H802 who ^H1931 is a slave ^H8198 acquired ^H2778 for another man ^H376, but who has in ^H6299 no ^H3808 way ^H6299 been redeemed ^H6299 nor ^H3808 given ^H5414 her freedom ^H2668, there shall be punishment ^H1244; they shall not, however, be put ^H4191 to ^H4191 death ^H4191, because ^H3588 she was not free ^H2666. 21 He shall bring ^H935 his guilt ^H817 offering ^H817 to the LORD ^H3068 to the doorway ^H6607 of the tent ^H168 of meeting ^H4150, a ram ^H352 as a guilt ^H817 offering ^H817. 22 The priest ^H3548 shall also make ^H3722 atonement ^H3722 for him with the ram ^H352 of the guilt ^H817 offering ^H817 before ^H6440 the LORD ^H3068 for his sin ^H2403 which ^H834 he has committed ^H2398, and the sin ^H2403 which ^H834 he has committed ^H2398 will be forgiven ^H5545 him.

23 ‘Now when ^H3588 you enter ^H935 the land ^H776 and plant ^H5193 all ^H3605 kinds of trees ^H6086 for food ^H3978, then you shall count ^H6188 their fruit ^H6529 as [fn]forbidden ^H6190. For three ^H7969 years ^H8141 it shall be [fn]forbidden ^H6189 to you; it shall not be eaten ^H398. 24 And in the fourth ^H7243 year ^H8141 all ^H3605 its fruit ^H6529 shall be holy ^H6944, an offering of praise ^H1974 to the LORD ^H3068. 25 But in the fifth ^H2549 year ^H8141 you shall eat ^H398 its fruit ^H6529, so that its yield ^H8393 may increase ^H3254 for you; I am the LORD ^H3068 your God ^H430.

26 ‘You shall not eat ^H398 any meat with the blood ^H1818. You shall not practice ^H5172 divination ^H5172 nor soothsaying ^H6049. 27 You shall not round ^H5362 off ^H5362 the [fn]hairline ^H6285 of your heads ^H7218, nor ^H3808 trim ^H7843 the edges ^H6285 of your beard ^H2206. 28 You shall not make ^H5414 any cuts ^H8296 in your [fn]body ^H1320 for the [fn]dead ^H5315, nor ^H3808 make ^H5414 any tattoo ^H3793 H7085 marks ^H3793 on yourselves: I am the LORD ^H3068.

29 ‘Do not profane ^H2455 your daughter ^H1323 by making ^H2181 her a prostitute ^H2181, so that the land ^H776 does not fall ^H2181 into ^H2181 prostitution ^H2181, and the land ^H776 does not become ^H4390 full ^H4390 of outrageous ^H2154 sin ^H2154. 30 You shall keep ^H8104 My Sabbaths ^H7676 and revere ^H3372 My sanctuary ^H4720; I am the LORD ^H3068.

31 ‘Do not turn ^H6437 to [fn]mediums ^H178 or spiritists ^H3049; do not seek ^H1245 them out ^H1245 to be defiled ^H2930 by them. I am the LORD ^H3068 your God ^H430.

32 ‘You shall stand ^H6965 up ^H6965 in the presence ^H6440 of the grayheaded ^H7872 and honor ^H1921 [fn]elders ^H6440 H2205, and you shall [fn]fear ^H3372 your God ^H430; I am the LORD ^H3068.

33 ‘When ^H3588 a stranger ^H1616 resides ^H1481 with you in your land ^H776, you shall not [fn]do ^H3238 him wrong ^H3238. 34 The stranger ^H1616 who resides ^H1481 with you shall be to you as the native ^H249 among ^H854 you, and you shall love ^H157 him as yourself, for you were strangers ^H1616 in the land ^H776 of Egypt ^H4714; I am the LORD ^H3068 your God ^H430.

35 ‘You shall do ^H6213 no ^H3808 wrong ^H5766 in judgment ^H4941, in measurement ^H4060 of weight ^H4948, or volume ^H4884. 36 You shall have ^H1961 accurate ^H6664 balances ^H3976, accurate ^H6664 weights ^H68, an accurate ^H6664 [fn]ephah ^H374, and an accurate ^H6664 [fn]hin ^H1969; I am the LORD ^H3068 your God ^H430, who ^H834 brought ^H3318 you out ^H3318 from the land ^H776 of Egypt ^H4714. 37 So you shall keep ^H8104 all ^H3605 My statutes ^H2708 and all ^H3605 My ordinances ^H4941, and do ^H6213 them; I am the LORD ^H3068.’”
