Chapter 19
- 19:1
- And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
- 19:2
- Speak unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, and say unto them, Ye shall
be holy: for I the LORD your God am holy.
- 19:3

your God.
- 19:4

- 19:5
- And if ye offer a sacrifice of peace offerings unto the LORD, ye shall offer it at your
own will.
- 19:6
- It shall be eaten the same day ye offer it, and on the morrow: and if ought remain until
the third day, it shall be burnt in the fire.
- 19:7
- And if it be eaten at all on the third day, it is abominable; it shall not be accepted.
- 19:8

hallowed thing of the LORD: and that soul shall be cut off from among his people.
- 19:9

field, neither shalt thou gather the gleanings of thy harvest.
- 19:10

vineyard; thou shalt leave them for the poor and stranger: I am the LORD your God.
- 19:11

- 19:12

- 19:14

thy God: I am the LORD.
- 19:15

poor, nor honor the person of the mighty: but in righteousness shalt thou judge thy
neighbour.
- 19:16
- Thou shalt not go up and down as a talebearer among thy people: neither shalt thou stand
against the blood of thy neighbour; I am the LORD.

- Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thine heart: thou shalt in any wise rebuke thy
neighbour, and not suffer sin upon him.
- 19:18
- Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou
shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: I am the LORD.
- 19:19

thou shalt not sow thy field with mingled seed: neither shall a garment mingled of linen
and woollen come upon thee.
- 19:20
- And whosoever lieth carnally with a woman, that is a bondmaid, betrothed to an husband,
and not at all redeemed, nor freedom given her; she shall be scourged; they shall not be
put to death, because she was not free.
- 19:21
- And he shall bring his trespass offering unto the LORD, unto the door of the tabernacle
of the congregation, even a ram for a trespass offering.
- 19:22

before the LORD for his sin which he hath done: and the sin which he hath done shall be
forgiven him.
- 19:23
- And when ye shall come into the land, and shall have planted all manner of trees for
food, then ye shall count the fruit thereof as uncircumcised: three years shall it be as
uncircumcised unto you: it shall not be eaten of.
- 19:24
- But in the fourth year all the fruit thereof shall be holy to praise the LORD withal.
- 19:25
- And in the fifth year shall ye eat of the fruit thereof, that it may yield unto you the
increase thereof: I am the LORD your God.
- 19:26
- Ye shall not eat any thing with the blood: neither shall ye use enchantment, nor observe
times.
- 19:27
- Ye shall not round the corners of your heads, neither shalt thou mar the corners of thy
beard.
- 19:28
- Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you:
I am the LORD.
- 19:29
- Do not prostitute thy daughter, to cause her to be a whore; lest the land fall to
whoredom, and the land become full of wickedness.
- 19:30

them: I am the LORD your God.
- 19:32

thy God: I am the LORD.
- 19:33

- 19:34
- But the stranger that dwelleth with you shall be unto you as one born among you, and
thou shalt love him as thyself; for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the LORD
your God.
- 19:35

your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt.
- 19:37
- Therefore shall ye observe all my statutes, and all my judgments, and do them: I am the
LORD.
