Leviticus 19:16-37

Do not go about spreading slander  among your people; do not jeopardize  your neighbor’s life; I am the Lord. “Do not harbor hatred against your brother.  , Rebuke your neighbor directly, and you will not incur guilt because of him.  Do not take revenge  or bear a grudge against members of your community, but love your neighbor as yourself;  I am the Lord. “You are to keep my statutes. Do not crossbreed two different kinds of your livestock, sow your fields with two kinds of seed, or put on a garment made of two kinds of material.  “If a man has sexual intercourse with a woman who is a slave designated for another man, but she has not been redeemed  or given her freedom, there must be punishment.  They are not to be put to death, because she had not been freed. However, he must bring a ram as his guilt  offering to the Lord at the entrance to the tent of meeting.  The priest will make atonement on his behalf before the Lord with the ram of the guilt offering for the sin he has committed, and he will be forgiven for the sin he committed. “When you come into the land and plant any kind of tree for food, you are to consider the fruit forbidden.  It will be forbidden to you for three years; it is not to be eaten. In the fourth year all its fruit is to be consecrated as a praise offering  to the Lord. But in the fifth year you may eat its fruit. In this way its yield will increase for you;  I am the Lord your God. “You are not to eat anything with blood in it.  , You are not to practice divination  or witchcraft.  You are not to cut off the hair at the sides of your head or mar the edge of your beard.  You are not to make gashes on your bodies for the dead  or put tattoo marks on yourselves; I am the Lord. “Do not debase  , your daughter by making her a prostitute,  or the land will be prostituted and filled with depravity. Keep my Sabbaths and revere my sanctuary;  I am the Lord. “Do not turn to mediums  , or consult spiritists,  , or you will be defiled by them; I am the Lord your God. “You are to rise in the presence of the elderly and honor the old.  Fear your God; I am the Lord. “When an alien resides with you in your land, you must not oppress  him. You will regard the alien who resides with you as the native-born among you. You are to love him as yourself,  for you were aliens in the land of Egypt;  I am the Lord your God. “Do not be unfair  in measurements of length, weight, or volume. You are to have honest balances,  honest weights, an honest dry measure,  and an honest liquid measure;  , I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt. Keep all my statutes and all my ordinances and do them; I am the Lord.”
