Leviticus 19:19-32
New American Standard Bible
19 ‘You are to keep My statutes. You shall not cross-breed two kinds of your cattle; (A)you shall not sow your field with two kinds of seed, nor wear a garment of two kinds of material mixed together.
20 ‘(B)Now if a man has sexual relations with a woman who is a slave acquired for another man, but who has in no way been redeemed nor given her freedom, there shall be punishment; they shall not, however, be put to death, because she was not free. 21 He shall bring his guilt offering to the Lord to the doorway of the tent of meeting, (C)a ram as a guilt offering. 22 The priest shall also make atonement for him with the ram of the guilt offering before the Lord for his sin which he has committed, and the sin which he has committed will be forgiven him.
23 ‘Now when you enter the land and plant all kinds of trees for food, then you shall count their fruit as [a]forbidden. For three years it shall be [b]forbidden to you; it shall not be eaten. 24 And in the fourth year all its fruit shall be holy, an offering of praise to the Lord. 25 But in the fifth year you shall eat its fruit, so that its yield may increase for you; I am the Lord your God.
26 ‘You shall not eat any meat (D)with the blood. You shall not practice (E)divination nor soothsaying. 27 (F)You shall not round off the [c]hairline of your heads, nor trim the edges of your beard. 28 You shall not make any cuts in your [d]body for the [e]dead, nor make any tattoo marks on yourselves: I am the Lord.
29 ‘(G)Do not profane your daughter by making her a prostitute, so that the land does not fall into prostitution, and the land does not become full of outrageous sin. 30 You shall (H)keep My Sabbaths and (I)revere My sanctuary; I am the Lord.
31 ‘Do not turn to [f](J)mediums or spiritists; do not seek them out to be defiled by them. I am the Lord your God.
32 ‘(K)You shall stand up in the presence of the grayheaded and honor [g]elders, and you shall [h]fear your God; I am the Lord.
