¹ And the Lord said to Moses,

² Say to all the people of Israel, You are to be holy, for I, the Lord your God, am holy.

³ Let every man give honour to his mother and to his father and keep my Sabbaths: I am the Lord your God.

⁴ Do not go after false gods, and do not make metal images of gods for yourselves: I am the Lord your God.

⁵ And when you give a peace offering to the Lord, do it in the way which is pleasing to the Lord.

⁶ Let it be used for food on the same day on which it is offered, or on the day after; and whatever is over on the third day is to be burned with fire.

⁷ If any of it is used for food on the third day, it is a disgusting thing and will not be pleasing to the Lord.

⁸ And as for anyone who takes it for food, his sin will be on him, for he has put shame on the holy thing of the Lord: he will be cut off from his people.

⁹ And when you get in the grain from your land, do not let all the grain be cut from the edges of the field, or take up what has been dropped on the earth after the getting in of the grain.

¹⁰ And do not take all the grapes from your vine-garden, or the fruit dropped on the earth; let the poor man, and the man from another country, have these: I am the Lord your God.

¹¹ Do not take anyone's property or be false in act or word to another.

¹² And do not take an oath in my name falsely, putting shame on the name of your God: I am the Lord.

¹³ Do not be cruel to your neighbour or take what is his; do not keep back a servant's payment from him all night till the morning.

¹⁴ Do not put a curse on those who have no hearing, or put a cause of falling in the way of the blind, but keep the fear of your God before you: I am the Lord.

¹⁵ Do no wrong in your judging: do not give thought to the position of the poor, or honour to the position of the great; but be a judge to your neighbour in righteousness.

¹⁶ Do not go about saying untrue things among your people, or take away the life of your neighbour by false witness: I am the Lord.

¹⁷ Let there be no hate in your heart for your brother; but you may make a protest to your neighbour, so that he may be stopped from doing evil.

¹⁸ Do not make attempts to get equal with one who has done you wrong, or keep hard feelings against the children of your people, but have love for your neighbour as for yourself: I am the Lord.

¹⁹ Keep my laws. Do not let your cattle have offspring by those of a different sort; do not put mixed seed into your field; do not put on a robe made of two sorts of cloth.

²⁰ If any man has sex relations with a servant-woman who has given her word to be married to a man, and has not been made free for a price or in any other way, the thing will be looked into; but they will not be put to death because she was not a free woman.

²¹ Let him take his offering for wrongdoing to the Lord, to the door of the Tent of meeting; let him give a male sheep as an offering for wrongdoing.

²² And the priest will take away his sin before the Lord with the sheep which is offered for his wrongdoing, and he will have forgiveness for the sin which he has done.

²³ And when you have come into the land, and have put in all sorts of fruit-trees, their fruit will be as if they had not had circumcision, and for three years their fruit may not be used for food.

²⁴ And in the fourth year all the fruit will be holy as a praise-offering to the Lord.

²⁵ But in the fifth year you may take the fruit and the increase of it for your food: I am the Lord your God.

²⁶ Nothing may be used for food with its blood in it; you may not make use of strange arts, or go in search of signs and wonders.

²⁷ The ends of the hair round your face and on your chin may not be cut off.

²⁸ You may not make cuts in your flesh in respect for the dead, or have marks printed on your bodies: I am the Lord.

²⁹ Do not make your daughter common by letting her become a loose woman, for fear that the land may become full of shame.

³⁰ Keep my Sabbaths and have respect for my holy place: I am the Lord.

³¹ Do not go after those who make use of spirits, or wonder-workers; do not go in their ways or become unclean through them: I am the Lord your God.

³² Get up from your seats before the white-haired, and give honour to the old, and let the fear of your God be before you: I am the Lord.

³³ And if a man from another country is living in your land with you, do not make life hard for him;

³⁴ Let him be to you as one of your countrymen and have love for him as for yourself; for you were living in a strange land, in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.

³⁵ Do not make false decisions in questions of yard-sticks and weights and measures.

³⁶ Have true scales, true weights and measures for all things: I am the Lord your God, who took you out of the land of Egypt;

³⁷ You are to keep all my rules and my decisions and do them: I am the Lord.

¹ And he took me back to the door of the house; and I saw that waters were flowing out from under the doorstep of the house on the east, for the house was facing east: and the waters came down from under, from the right side of the house, on the south side of the altar.

² And he took me out by the north doorway, and made me go round to the outside of the doorway looking to the east; and I saw waters running slowly out on the south side.

³ And the man went out to the east with the line in his hand, and after measuring a thousand cubits, he made me go through the waters, which came over my feet.

⁴ And again, measuring a thousand cubits, he made me go through the waters which came up to my knees. Again, measuring a thousand, he made me go through the waters up to the middle of my body.

⁵ Again, after his measuring a thousand, it became a river which it was not possible to go through: for the waters had become deep enough for swimming, a river it was not possible to go through.

⁶ And he said to me, Son of man, have you seen this? Then he took me to the river's edge.

⁷ And he took me back, and I saw at the edge of the river a very great number of trees on this side and on that.

⁸ And he said to me, These waters are flowing out to the east part of the land and down into the Arabah; and they will go to the sea, and the waters will be made sweet.

⁹ And it will come about that every living and moving thing, wherever their streams come, will have life; and there will be very much fish because these waters have come there and have been made sweet: and everything wherever the river comes will have life.

¹⁰ And fishermen will take up their places by it: from En-gedi as far as En-eglaim will be a place for the stretching out of nets; the fish will be of every sort, like the fish of the Great Sea, a very great number.

¹¹ The wet places and the pools will not be made sweet; they will be given up to salt.

¹² And by the edge of the river, on this side and on that, will come up every tree used for food, whose leaves will ever be green and its fruit will not come to an end: it will have new fruit every month, because its waters come out from the holy place: the fruit will be for food and the leaf will make well those who are ill.

¹³ This is what the Lord has said: These are the limits by which you will take up your heritage in the land among the twelve tribes of Israel: Joseph is to have two parts.

¹⁴ And you are to make an equal division of it; as I gave my oath to your fathers to give it to you: for this land is to be your heritage.

¹⁵ And this is to be the limit of the land: on the north side, from the Great Sea, in the direction of Hethlon, as far as the way into Hamath;

¹⁶ To Zedad, Berothah, Sibraim, which is between the limit of Damascus and the limit of Hazar-hatticon, which is on the limit of Hauran.

¹⁷ And this is the limit from the sea in the direction of Hazar-enon; and the limit of Damascus is to the north, and on the north is the limit of Hamath. This is the north side.

¹⁸ And the east side will be from Hazar-enon, which is between Hauran and Damascus; and between Gilead and the land of Israel the Jordan will be the limit, to the east sea, to Tamar. This is the east side.

¹⁹ And the south side to the south will be from Tamar as far as the waters of Meribath-kadesh, to the stream of Egypt, to the Great Sea. This is the south side, on the south.

²⁰ And the west side will be the Great Sea, from the limit on the south to a point opposite the way into Hamath. This is the west side.

²¹ You will make a division of the land among you, tribe by tribe.

²² And you are to make a distribution of it, by the decision of the Lord, for a heritage to you and to the men from other lands who are living among you and who have children in your land: they will be the same to you as if they were Israelites by birth, they will have their heritage with you among the tribes of Israel.

²³ In whatever tribe the man from a strange land is living, there you are to give him his heritage, says the Lord.
