¹ Ang nasaktan sa mga iklog, o ang may lihim na sangkap na putol ng katawan ay hindi makapapasok sa kapisanan ng Panginoon.

² Isang anak sa ligaw ay huwag papasok sa kapisanan ng Panginoon; hanggang sa ikasangpung salin ng lahi ay walang sa kaniya'y makapapasok sa kapisanan ng Panginoon.

³ Huwag papasok ang isang Ammonita o Moabita sa kapulungan ng Panginoon; hanggang sa ikasangpung salin ng lahi ay walang nauukol sa kanila na makapapasok magpakailan man sa kapisanan ng Panginoon:

⁴ Sapagka't hindi kayo sinalubong nila ng tinapay at ng tubig sa daan, nang kayo'y umalis sa Egipto; at sapagka't kanilang inupahan laban sa iyo si Balaam na anak ni Beor mula sa Pethor ng Mesopotamia upang sumpain ka.

⁵ Gayon ma'y hindi dininig ng Panginoon mong Dios si Balaam; kundi pinapaging pagpapala ng Panginoon mong Dios, ang sumpa sa iyo; sapagka't iniibig ka ng Panginoon mong Dios.

⁶ Huwag mong hahanapin ang kanilang kapayapaan o ang kanilang ikasusulong sa lahat ng iyong araw magpakailan man.

⁷ Huwag mong kasusuklaman ang Idumeo; sapagka't siya'y iyong kapatid: huwag mong kasusuklaman ang taga Egipto; sapagka't ikaw ay nakipamayan sa kaniyang lupain.

⁸ Ang mga anak ng ikatlong salin ng lahi nila na ipinanganak sa kanila ay makapapasok sa kapisanan ng Panginoon.

⁹ Pagka ikaw ay lalabas sa kampamento laban sa iyong mga kaaway, ay magbabawa ka nga sa iyo sa bawa't masamang bagay.

¹⁰ Kung magkaroon sa iyo ng sinomang lalake, na hindi malinis dahil sa anomang nangyari sa kaniya ng kinagabihan, ay lalabas nga sa kampamento, hindi siya papasok sa kampamento:

¹¹ Nguni't mangyayari kinahapunan, na siya'y maliligo sa tubig: at pagka ang araw ay nakalubog na, ay papasok siya sa kampamento.

¹² Ikaw ay magkakaroon naman, ng isang pook sa labas ng kampamento, na iyong lalabasan:

¹³ At ikaw ay magkakaroon din ng isang pala sa kasamahan ng iyong mga kasangkapan; at mangyayari, na pagka ikaw ay palilikod sa labas ay huhukay ka, at ikaw ay babalik at tatabunan mo ang ipinalikod mo:

¹⁴ Sapagka't ang Panginoon mong Dios ay lumalakad sa gitna ng iyong kampamento, upang iligtas ka, at ibigay ang iyong mga kaaway sa harap mo; kaya't ang iyong kampamento ay magiging banal: upang huwag siyang makakita ng anomang maruming bagay sa iyo, at baka humiwalay sa iyo.

¹⁵ Huwag mong ibibigay sa kaniyang panginoon ang isang aliping nagtanan sa kaniyang panginoon na napasa iyo:

¹⁶ Siya'y tatahang kasama mo, sa gitna mo, sa dakong kaniyang pipiliin sa loob ng isa sa iyong mga pintuang-daan na kaniyang magalingin: huwag mo siyang pipighatiin.

¹⁷ Huwag kang magkakaroon ng masamang babae sa mga anak ng Israel, ni magkakaroon ng sodomita sa mga anak ng Israel.

¹⁸ Huwag mong dadalhin ang bayad sa isang masamang babae, o ang kaupahan sa isang aso, sa bahay ng Panginoon mong Dios sa anomang panata: sapagka't ang mga ito ay kapuwa karumaldumal sa Panginoon mong Dios.

¹⁹ Huwag kang magpapahiram na may tubo sa iyong kapatid; tubo ng salapi, tubo ng kakanin, tubo ng anomang bagay na ipinahihiram na may tubo:

²⁰ Sa isang taga ibang lupa ay makapagpapahiram ka na may tubo; nguni't sa iyong kapatid ay huwag kang magpapahiram na may tubo: upang pagpalain ka ng Panginoon mong Dios sa lahat ng pagpapatungan mo ng iyong kamay, sa lupain na iyong pinapasok upang ariin.

²¹ Pagka ikaw ay magpapanata ng isang panata sa Panginoon mong Dios, ay huwag kang magluluwat ng pagtupad: sapagka't walang pagsalang uusisain sa iyo ng Panginoon mong Dios; at magiging kasalanan sa iyo.

²² Nguni't kung ikaw ay magbawang manata, ay hindi magiging kasalanan, sa iyo:

²³ Ang nabuka sa iyong mga labi ay iyong gaganapin at gagawin; ayon sa iyong ipinanata sa Panginoon mong Dios, na isang kusang handog, na ipinangako mo ng iyong bibig.

²⁴ Pagka ikaw ay pumasok sa ubasan ng iyong kapuwa, ay makakakain ka nga ng mga ubas sa iyong kagustuhan hanggang sa ikaw ay mabusog; nguni't huwag kang maglalagay sa iyong sisidlan.

²⁵ Pagka ikaw ay pumasok sa nangakatayong trigo ng iyong kapuwa, ay makikitil mo nga ng iyong kamay ang mga uhay; nguni't huwag mong gagalawin ng karit ang nakatayong trigo ng iyong kapuwa.

¹ Then Jacob went on his journey, and came to the land of the children of the east.

² He looked, and behold, a well in the field, and, behold, three flocks of sheep lying there by it. For out of that well they watered the flocks. The stone on the well's mouth was large.

³ There all the flocks were gathered. They rolled the stone from the well's mouth, and watered the sheep, and put the stone again on the well's mouth in its place.

⁴ Jacob said to them, "My relatives, where are you from?" They said, "We are from Haran."

⁵ He said to them, "Do you know Laban, the son of Nahor?" They said, "We know him."

⁶ He said to them, "Is it well with him?" They said, "It is well. See, Rachel, his daughter, is coming with the sheep."

⁷ He said, "Behold, it is still the middle of the day, not time to gather the livestock together. Water the sheep, and go and feed them."

⁸ They said, "We can't, until all the flocks are gathered together, and they roll the stone from the well's mouth. Then we water the sheep."

⁹ While he was yet speaking with them, Rachel came with her father's sheep, for she kept them.

¹⁰ It happened, when Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban, his mother's brother, and the sheep of Laban, his mother's brother, that Jacob went near, and rolled the stone from the well's mouth, and watered the flock of Laban his mother's brother.

¹¹ Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted up his voice, and wept.

¹² Jacob told Rachel that he was her father's brother, and that he was Rebekah's son. She ran and told her father.

¹³ It happened, when Laban heard the news of Jacob, his sister's son, that he ran to meet Jacob, and embraced him, and kissed him, and brought him to his house. Jacob told Laban all these things.

¹⁴ Laban said to him, "Surely you are my bone and my flesh." He lived with him for a month.

¹⁵ Laban said to Jacob, "Because you are my brother, should you therefore serve me for nothing? Tell me, what will your wages be?"

¹⁶ Laban had two daughters. The name of the elder was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel.

¹⁷ Leah's eyes were weak, but Rachel was beautiful in form and attractive.

¹⁸ Jacob loved Rachel. He said, "I will serve you seven years for Rachel, your younger daughter."

¹⁹ Laban said, "It is better that I give her to you, than that I should give her to another man. Stay with me."

²⁰ Jacob served seven years for Rachel. They seemed to him but a few days, for the love he had for her.

²¹ Jacob said to Laban, "Give me my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may go in to her."

²² Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a feast.

²³ It happened in the evening, that he took Leah his daughter, and brought her to him. He went in to her.

²⁴ Laban gave Zilpah his handmaid to his daughter Leah for a handmaid.

²⁵ It happened in the morning that, behold, it was Leah. He said to Laban, "What is this you have done to me? Didn't I serve with you for Rachel? Why then have you deceived me?"

²⁶ Laban said, "It is not done so in our place, to give the younger before the firstborn.

²⁷ Fulfill the week of this one, and we will give you the other also for the service which you will serve with me yet seven other years."

²⁸ Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week. He gave him Rachel his daughter as wife.

²⁹ Laban gave to Rachel his daughter Bilhah, his handmaid, to be her handmaid.

³⁰ He went in also to Rachel, and he loved also Rachel more than Leah, and served with him yet seven other years.

³¹ Yahweh saw that Leah was hated, and he opened her womb, but Rachel was barren.

³² Leah conceived, and bore a son, and she named him Reuben. For she said, "Because Yahweh has looked at my affliction. For now my husband will love me."

³³ She conceived again, and bore a son, and said, "Because Yahweh has heard that I am hated, he has therefore given me this son also." She named him Simeon.

³⁴ She conceived again, and bore a son. Said, "Now this time will my husband be joined to me, because I have borne him three sons." Therefore was his name called Levi.

³⁵ She conceived again, and bore a son. She said, "This time will I praise Yahweh." Therefore she named him Judah. Then she stopped bearing.
