Leviticus 19-21 (Darby Translation)

Leviticus 19

 ¹And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

 ²Speak unto all the assembly of the children of Israel, and say unto them, Holy shall ye be, for I Jehovah your God am holy.

 ³Ye shall reverence every man his mother, and his father, and my sabbaths shall ye keep: I am Jehovah your God.

 ⁴Ye shall not turn unto idols, and ye shall not make to yourselves molten gods: I am Jehovah your God.

 ⁵And if ye sacrifice a sacrifice of peace-offering to Jehovah, ye shall sacrifice it for your acceptance.

 ⁶On the day when ye sacrifice it shall it be eaten, and on the morrow; and that which remaineth until the third day shall be burned with fire.

 ⁷And if it be eaten at all on the third day, it is an unclean thing: it shall not be accepted.

 ⁸And he that eateth it shall bear his iniquity; for he hath profaned the hallowed thing of Jehovah; and that soul shall be cut off from among his peoples.

 ⁹And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not wholly reap the corners of thy field, and the gleaning of thy harvest thou shalt not gather.

 ¹⁰And thy vineyard shalt thou not glean, neither shalt thou gather what hath been left of thy vineyard; thou shalt leave them for the poor and the stranger: I am Jehovah your God.

 ¹¹Ye shall not steal, and ye shall not deal falsely, and ye shall not lie one to another.

 ¹²And ye shall not swear by my name falsely, and profane the name of thy God: I am Jehovah.

 ¹³Thou shalt not oppress thy neighbour, neither rob him. The wages of the hired servant shall not abide with thee all night until the morning.

 ¹⁴Thou shalt not revile a deaf person, and thou shalt not put a stumbling-block before a blind one; but thou shalt fear thy God: I am Jehovah.

 ¹⁵Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment; thou shalt not respect the person of the lowly, nor honour the person of the great; in righteousness shalt thou judge thy neighbour.

 ¹⁶Thou shalt not go about as a talebearer among thy people; thou shalt not stand up against the life of thy neighbour: I am Jehovah.

 ¹⁷Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thy heart; thou shalt earnestly rebuke thy neighbour, lest thou bear sin on account of him.

 ¹⁸Thou shalt not avenge thyself, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: I am Jehovah.

 ¹⁹My statutes shall ye observe. Thou shalt not let thy cattle gender with another sort; thou shalt not sow thy field with seed of two sorts; and a garment woven of two materials shall not come upon thee.

 ²⁰And if a man lie with a woman for copulation, and she is a bondwoman betrothed to a husband, but not at all ransomed, nor hath freedom been given to her, there shall be a chastisement: they shall not be put to death, for she was not free.

 ²¹And he shall bring his trespass-offering to Jehovah, unto the entrance of the tent of meeting, a ram for a trespass-offering.

 ²²And the priest shall make atonement for him with the ram of the trespass-offering before Jehovah for his sin which he hath done; and the sin which he hath done shall be forgiven him.

 ²³And when ye come into the land and plant all manner of trees for food, then ye shall count its fruit as uncircumcised, three years shall it be uncircumcised unto you: it shall not be eaten of;

 ²⁴and in the fourth year all the fruit thereof shall be holy for praise to Jehovah;

 ²⁵and in the fifth year shall ye eat the fruit thereof, that it may increase unto you the produce thereof: I am Jehovah your God.

 ²⁶Ye shall eat nothing with the blood. -- Ye shall not practise enchantment, nor use auguries.

 ²⁷-- Ye shall not shave the corners of your head round, neither shalt thou mutilate the corners of thy beard.

 ²⁸And cuttings for a dead person shall ye not make in your flesh, nor put any tattoo writing upon you: I am Jehovah.

 ²⁹-- Do not profane thy daughter, to give her up to whoredom; lest the land practise whoredom, and the land become full of infamy.

 ³⁰-- My sabbaths shall ye keep, and my sanctuary shall ye reverence: I am Jehovah.

 ³¹-- Turn not unto necromancers and unto soothsayers; seek not after them to make yourselves unclean: I am Jehovah your God.

 ³²Before the hoary head thou shalt rise up, and shalt honour the face of an old man; and thou shalt fear thy God: I am Jehovah.

 ³³And if a stranger sojourn with thee in your land, ye shall not molest him.

 ³⁴As one born among you shall the stranger who sojourneth with you be unto you; and thou shalt love him as thyself; for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am Jehovah your God.

 ³⁵Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment, in measure of length, in weight, and in measure of capacity:

 ³⁶just balances, just weights, a just ephah, and a just hin shall ye have: I am Jehovah your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt.

 ³⁷And ye shall observe all my statutes, and all mine ordinances, and do them: I am Jehovah.

Leviticus 20

 ¹And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

 ²Thou shalt say also to the children of Israel, Every one of the children of Israel, or of the strangers who sojourn in Israel, that giveth of his seed unto Molech, shall certainly be put to death: the people of the land shall stone him with stones.

 ³And I will set my face against that man, and will cut him off from among his people; because he hath given of his seed unto Molech, so as to make my sanctuary unclean, and to profane my holy name.

 ⁴And if the people of the land do any ways hide their eyes from that man, when he giveth of his seed unto Molech, that they kill him not,

 ⁵then I will set my face against that man, and against his family, and will cut him off, and all that go a whoring after him, to commit whoredom with Molech, from among their people.

 ⁶-- And the soul that turneth unto necromancers and unto soothsayers, to go a whoring after them, I will set my face against that soul, and will cut him off from among his people.

 ⁷Hallow yourselves therefore, and be holy; for I am Jehovah your God.

 ⁸And ye shall observe my statutes, and do them: I am Jehovah who hallow you.

 ⁹Whatever man revileth his father and his mother shall certainly be put to death: he hath reviled his father and his mother; his blood is upon him.

 ¹⁰And a man that committeth adultery with a man's wife, who committeth adultery with his neighbour's wife, -- the adulterer and the adulteress shall certainly be put to death.

 ¹¹And a man that lieth with his father's wife hath uncovered his father's nakedness: both of them shall certainly be put to death; their blood is upon them.

 ¹²And if a man lie with his daughter-in-law, both of them shall certainly be put to death: they have wrought confusion; their blood is upon them.

 ¹³And if a man lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall certainly be put to death; their blood is upon them.

 ¹⁴And if a man take a wife and her mother, it is infamy: they shall burn him and them with fire, that there be no infamy among you.

 ¹⁵And if a man lie with a beast for copulation, he shall certainly be put to death; and ye shall kill the beast.

 ¹⁶And if a woman approach unto any beast to gender therewith, thou shalt kill the woman and the beast: they shall certainly be put to death; their blood is upon them.

 ¹⁷And if a man take his sister, his father's daughter, or his mother's daughter, and see her nakedness, and she see his nakedness, that is a disgrace; and they shall be cut off before the eyes of the children of their people: he hath uncovered his sister's nakedness; he shall bear his iniquity.

 ¹⁸And if a man shall lie with a woman in her infirmity, and uncover her nakedness, her flux doth he lay bare, and she hath uncovered the fountain of her blood; and both of them shall be cut off from among their people.

 ¹⁹And the nakedness of thy mother's sister, and of thy father's sister shalt thou not uncover; for he hath laid naked his near relation: they shall bear their iniquity.

 ²⁰And if a man lie with his aunt, he hath uncovered his uncle's nakedness: their sin shall they bear: they shall die childless.

 ²¹And if a man take his brother's wife, it is an unclean thing: he hath uncovered his brother's nakedness: they shall be childless.

 ²²And ye shall observe all my statutes, and all mine ordinances, and do them, that the land whither I bring you to dwell therein vomit you not out.

 ²³And ye shall not walk in the customs of the nation which I am casting out before you; for all these things have they done, and they became an abomination to me.

 ²⁴And I have said unto you, Ye shall possess their land, and I will give it unto you for a possession; a land flowing with milk and honey: I am Jehovah your God, who have separated you from the peoples.

 ²⁵And ye shall make a separation between the clean beast and the unclean, and between the unclean fowl and the clean, and ye shall not make yourselves an abomination by beast, or by fowl, or by anything that creepeth on the ground which I have separated for you, declaring [it] as unclean.

 ²⁶And ye shall be holy unto me; for I Jehovah am holy, and have separated you from the peoples to be mine.

 ²⁷And if there be a man or a woman in whom is a spirit of Python or of divination, they shall certainly be put to death: they shall stone them with stones; their blood is upon them.

Leviticus 21

 ¹And Jehovah said to Moses, Speak unto the priests, the sons of Aaron, and say unto them, There shall none make himself unclean for a dead person among his peoples,

 ²except for his immediate relation, who is near unto him -- for his mother, and for his father, and for his son, and for his daughter, and for his brother;

 ³and for his sister, a virgin, that is near unto him, who hath had no husband, for her may he make himself unclean.

 ⁴He shall not make himself unclean [who is] a chief among his peoples, to profane himself.

 ⁵They shall not make any baldness upon their head, neither shall they shave off the corners of their beard, nor make any cuttings in their flesh.

 ⁶They shall be holy unto their God, and not profane the name of their God; for they present Jehovah's offerings by fire, the bread of their God; therefore shall they be holy.

 ⁷They shall not take as wife a whore, or a dishonoured woman; neither shall they take a woman put away from her husband; for he is holy unto his God.

 ⁸And thou shalt hallow him; for the bread of thy God doth he present: he shall be holy unto thee; for I, Jehovah, who hallow you am holy.

 ⁹And the daughter of any priest, if she profane herself by playing the whore, she profaneth her father: she shall be burned with fire.

 ¹⁰And the high priest among his brethren, on whose head the anointing oil was poured, and who is consecrated to put on the garments, shall not uncover his head, nor rend his garments.

 ¹¹Neither shall he come near any person dead, nor make himself unclean for his father and for his mother;

 ¹²neither shall he go out of the sanctuary, nor profane the sanctuary of his God; for the consecration of the anointing oil of his God is upon him: I am Jehovah.

 ¹³And he shall take a wife in her virginity.

 ¹⁴A widow, or a divorced woman, or a dishonoured one, a harlot, these shall he not take; but he shall take as wife a virgin from among his peoples.

 ¹⁵And he shall not profane his seed among his peoples; for I am Jehovah who do hallow him.

 ¹⁶And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

 ¹⁷Speak unto Aaron, saying, Any of thy seed throughout their generations that hath any defect, shall not approach to present the bread of his God;

 ¹⁸for whatever man hath a defect, he shall not approach: a blind man, or a lame, or he that hath a flat nose, or one limb longer than the other,

 ¹⁹or a man that is broken-footed, or broken-handed,

 ²⁰or hump-backed, or withered, or that hath a spot in his eye, or hath the itch, or scabs, or his testicles broken.

 ²¹No man of the seed of Aaron the priest that hath defect shall come near to present Jehovah's offerings by fire: he hath a defect; he shall not come near to present the bread of his God.

 ²²The bread of his God, of the most holy and of the holy, shall he eat;

 ²³only he shall not come in unto the veil, nor shall he draw near unto the altar; for he hath a defect: that he profane not my sanctuaries; for I am Jehovah who do hallow them.

 ²⁴And Moses told it to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel.
