19 [1] Adonoy spoke to Moshe, saying: [2] Speak to the entire congregation [of] Bnei Yisroel and say to them: You shall be holy, for I, Adonoy, your God, am holy. [3] A man—you shall fear his mother and father and keep [**the days of**] My Sabbaths, I am Adonoy, your God. [4] Do not turn to the [**false**] idols and do not make molten gods for yourselves, I am Adonoy, your God. [5] When you slaughter a peace[**sacred**]-offering to [**before**] Adonoy, you shall slaughter it to be acceptable for you. [6] On the day that it is slaughtered it may be eaten and on the next day. Whatever is left over by the third day shall be burned in fire. [7] And if it should be eaten at all on the third day it is an abomination [**a rejection**], it will not be favorably accepted. [8] Whoever eats from it shall bear his iniquity, for the sacred [things] of Adonoy he has defiled. That [persons] soul shall be cut off from its people. [9] When you will reap the harvest of your land, you shall not completely reap a corner of your field, and the gleanings of your harvest you shall not gather. [10] You shall not glean your vineyard, and the fallen grapes of your vineyard, you shall not gather. For the poor and the proselyte you shall leave them, I am Adonoy, your God. [11] You shall not steal. You shall not deny [a rightful claim] and each one of you shall not lie to each other. [12] You shall not swear falsely by My Name profaning the Name of your God, I am Adonoy. [13] You shall not withhold the wages of your fellow [Jew] and you shall not rob [**oppress**]. It shall not remain overnight, [**You shall not withhold**] the wages of a day-laborer, keeping it in your possession until morning. [14] You shall not curse a deaf person [**who can not hear**] and before a blind person [**who can not see**] you shall not place a stumbling-block; you shall fear your God, I am Adonoy. [15] You shall not commit injustice [**lie**] in judgement, you shall not favor a poor man and you shall not show honor to a powerful man. With righteousness [**truth**] shall you judge your fellow [Jew]. [16] Do not be a tale-bearer [**’eat and wink’**] among your people. You shall not stand idly by [when] the blood (life) of your fellow [is in danger]. I am Adonoy. [17] You shall not hate your brother in your heart; You shall certainly rebuke your friend; [but] you shall not bear a sin on his account. [18] You shall not take revenge or bear a grudge against the children of your people. You shall love your fellow [Jew] as yourself, I am Adonoy. [19] Keep My statutes; Do not cross-breed your animals with different species. Do not sow your field with a mixture of different seeds. A garment that contains *shatnez* [a forbidden mixture of linen and wool] you shall not wear. [20] If a man lies with a woman in a conjugal manner, and she is a maid-servant designated for a [specific] man and she has certainly not been redeemed [**with money**], or her freedom was not given to her [**through a document**]; there shall be an investigation they shall not be put to death, for her freedom was not given to her. [21] He shall bring his guilt-offering to [**before**] Adonoy, to the entrance of the Tent of Meeting, a guilt-offering-ram. [22] The *kohein* shall atone for him with the guilt-offering-ram before Adonoy for the sin which he committed and he will be forgiven for the sin which he committed. [23] When you will enter the land and you will plant any food-bearing tree, you shall regard its fruit as closed off [**separated**]. [For] three years it shall be closed off [**separated**] to you [**to be destroyed**], it shall not be eaten. [24] On the fourth year, all of its fruit shall be holy [upon which to say] praise[s to] [**before**] Adonoy. [25] On the fifth year, you may eat its fruit, so that it will increase its produce for you, I am Adonoy, your God. [26] You shall not eat [sacred offerings] [before] the blood [is sprinkled on the altar]. You shall not act on the basis of omens nor act on the basis of auspicious times. [27] Do not round the corners of [the hair on] your heads and you shall not destroy [by shaving] the edges of your beard. [28] Gashes for the dead do not make in your skin. Do not put tattoo marks on yourselves, I am Adonoy. [29] You shall not defile your daughter by causing her to engage in harlotry [**err**] lest the land be turned astray, and the land be filled with lewdness [**a sinful plan**]. [30] You shall keep [**the days of**] My Shabbosos and you shall fear [**the House of**] My Sanctuary, I am Adonoy. [31] You shall not turn to mediums nor seek out oracles; do not seek [them] out, so as to defile yourselves through them. I am Adonoy, your God. [32] In the presence of the elderly [**one who understands the Torah**] you shall rise and you shall respect an elder; you shall have fear of your God, I am Adonoy. [33] If a proselyte comes to live [**converts**] with you, in your land, do not cause him anguish. [34] As one of your native born [**settled ones**] he shall be considered by you, the proselyte who lives with [**converts among**] you, and you shall love him as yourself, for you were strangers [**foreign resident**] in the land of Egypt, I am Adonoy, your God. [35] You shall not commit injustice [**lie**] in judgement; in [land] measure, in weight or in volume measure. [36] Just scales and just weights a just dry measure (*ephah*) [**just volume measures**] and a just liquid measure (*hin*) [**just hinin**] you shall have for yourselves, I am Adonoy, your God who has taken you out of the land of Egypt. [37] You must keep all my statutes and all of my laws, and do [observe] them. I am Adonoy.
