¹ The Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

² Speak to all the congregation of the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them: Be ye holy, because I the Lord your God am holy.

³ Let every one fear his father, and his mother. Keep my sabbaths. I am the Lord your God.

⁴ Turn ye not to idols, nor make to yourselves molten gods. I am the Lord your God.

⁵ If ye offer in sacrifice a peace offering to the Lord, that he may be favourable,

⁶ You shall eat it on the same day it was offered, and the next day: and whatsoever shall be left until the third day, you shall burn with fire.

⁷ If after two days ally man eat thereof, he shall be profane and guilty of impiety:

⁸ And shall bear his iniquity, because he hath defiled the holy thing of the Lord, and that soul shall perish from among his people.

⁹ When thou reapest the corn of thy land, thou shalt not cut down all that is on the face of the earth to the very ground: nor shalt thou gather the ears that remain.

¹⁰ Neither shalt thou gather the bunches and grapes that fall down in thy vineyard, but shalt leave them to the poor and the strangers to take. I am the Lord your God.

¹¹ You shall not steal. You shall not lie, neither shall any man deceive his neighbour.

¹² Thou shalt not swear falsely by my name, nor profane the name of thy God. I am the Lord.

¹³ Thou shalt not calumniate thy neighbour, nor oppress him by violence. The wages of him that hath been hired by thee shall not abide with thee until the morning.

¹⁴ Thou shalt not speak evil of the deaf, nor put a stumblingblock before the blind: but thou shalt fear the Lord thy God, because I am the Lord.

¹⁵ Thou shalt not do that which is unjust, nor judge unjustly. Respect not the person of the poor, nor honour the countenance of the mighty. But judge thy neighbour according to justice.

¹⁶ Thou shalt not be a detractor nor a whisperer among the people. Thou shalt not stand against the blood of thy neighbour. I am the Lord.

¹⁷ Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thy heart, but reprove him openly, lest thou incur sin through him.

¹⁸ Seek not revenge, nor be mindful of the injury of thy citizens. Thou shalt love thy friend as thyself. I am the Lord.

¹⁹ Keep ye my laws. Thou shalt not make thy cattle to gender with beasts of any other kind. Thou shalt not sow thy field with different seeds. Thou shalt not wear a garment that is woven of two sorts.

²⁰ If a man carnally lie with a woman that is a bondservant and marriageable, and yet not redeemed with a price, nor made free: they both shall be scourged, and they shall not be put to death, because she was not a free woman.

²¹ And for his trespass he shall offer a ram to the Lord, at the door of the tabernacle of the testimony:

²² And the priest shall pray for him and for his sin before the Lord, and he shall have mercy on him, and the sin shall be forgiven.

²³ When you shall be come into the land, and shall have planted in it fruit trees, you shall take away the firstfruits of them: the fruit that comes forth shall be unclean to you, neither shall you eat of them.

²⁴ But in the fourth year, all their fruit shall be sanctified, to the praise of the Lord.

²⁵ And in the fifth year you shall eat the fruits thereof, gathering the increase thereof. I am the Lord your God.

²⁶ You shall not eat with blood. You shall not divine nor observe dreams.

²⁷ Nor shall you cut your hair roundwise: nor shave your beard.

²⁸ You shall not make any cuttings in your flesh, for the dead, neither shall you make in yourselves any figures or marks: I am the Lord.

²⁹ Make not thy daughter a common strumpet, lest the land be defiled, and filled with wickedness.

³⁰ Keep ye my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary. I am the Lord.

³¹ 31Go not aside after wizards, neither ask any thing of soothsayers, to be defiled by them: I am the Lord your God.

³² Rise up before the hoary head, and honour the person of the aged man: and fear the Lord thy God. I am the Lord.

³³ If a stranger dwell in your land, and abide among you, do not upbraid him :

³⁴ But let him be among you as one of the same country: and you shall love him as yourselves: for you were strangers in the land of Egypt. I am the Lord your God.

³⁵ Do not any unjust thing in judgment, in rule, in weight, or in measure.

³⁶ Let the balance be just and the weights equal, the bushel just, and the sextary equal. I am the Lord your God, that brought you out of the land of Egypt.

³⁷ Keep all my precepts, and all my judgments, and do them. I am the Lord.

¹ When Yahweh your God shall bring you into the land where you go to possess it, and shall cast out many nations before you, the Hittite, and the Girgashite, and the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite, seven nations greater and mightier than you;

² and when Yahweh your God shall deliver them up before you, and you shall strike them; then you shall utterly destroy them: you shall make no covenant with them, nor show mercy to them;

³ neither shall you make marriages with them; your daughter you shall not give to his son, nor shall you take his daughter for your son.

⁴ For he will turn away your son from following me, that they may serve other gods: so the anger of Yahweh would be kindled against you, and he would destroy you quickly.

⁵ But you shall deal with them like this: you shall break down their altars, and dash their pillars in pieces, and cut down their Asherim, and burn their engraved images with fire.

⁶ For you are a holy people to Yahweh your God: Yahweh your God has chosen you to be a people for his own possession, above all peoples who are on the face of the earth.

⁷ Yahweh didn't set his love on you, nor choose you, because you were more in number than any people; for you were the fewest of all peoples:

⁸ but because Yahweh loves you, and because he would keep the oath which he swore to your fathers, has Yahweh brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.

⁹ Know therefore that Yahweh your God, he is God, the faithful God, who keeps covenant and loving kindness with them who love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations,

¹⁰ and repays those who hate him to their face, to destroy them: he will not be slack to him who hates him, he will repay him to his face.

¹¹ You shall therefore keep the commandment, and the statutes, and the ordinances, which I command you this day, to do them.

¹² It shall happen, because you listen to these ordinances, and keep and do them, that Yahweh your God will keep with you the covenant and the loving kindness which he swore to your fathers:

¹³ and he will love you, and bless you, and multiply you; he will also bless the fruit of your body and the fruit of your ground, your grain and your new wine and your oil, the increase of your livestock and the young of your flock, in the land which he swore to your fathers to give you.

¹⁴ You shall be blessed above all peoples: there shall not be male or female barren among you, or among your livestock.

¹⁵ Yahweh will take away from you all sickness; and none of the evil diseases of Egypt, which you know, he will put on you, but will lay them on all those who hate you.

¹⁶ You shall consume all the peoples whom Yahweh your God shall deliver to you; your eye shall not pity them: neither shall you serve their gods; for that will be a snare to you.

¹⁷ If you shall say in your heart, "These nations are more than I; how can I dispossess them?"

¹⁸ you shall not be afraid of them: you shall well remember what Yahweh your God did to Pharaoh, and to all Egypt;

¹⁹ the great trials which your eyes saw, and the signs, and the wonders, and the mighty hand, and the outstretched arm, by which Yahweh your God brought you out: so shall Yahweh your God do to all the peoples of whom you are afraid.

²⁰ Moreover Yahweh your God will send the hornet among them, until those who are left, and hide themselves, perish from before you.

²¹ You shall not be scared of them; for Yahweh your God is in the midst of you, a great and awesome God.

²² Yahweh your God will cast out those nations before you by little and little: you may not consume them at once, lest the animals of the field increase on you.

²³ But Yahweh your God will deliver them up before you, and will confuse them with a great confusion, until they be destroyed.

²⁴ He will deliver their kings into your hand, and you shall make their name to perish from under the sky: no man shall be able to stand before you, until you have destroyed them.

²⁵ You shall burn the engraved images of their gods with fire. You shall not covet the silver or the gold that is on them, nor take it for yourself, lest you be snared in it; for it is an abomination to Yahweh your God.

²⁶ You shall not bring an abomination into your house, and become a devoted thing like it. You shall utterly detest it, and you shall utterly abhor it; for it is a devoted thing.
