<0776>

of Canaan
<03667>_,

whither I bring

you, shall ye not do

lie
<07903>

carnally

And thou shalt not
<05414> (8799)

let any of thy seed
<02233>

<05674> (8687)

through [the fire] to Molech
<04432>_,

neither shalt thou profane
<02490> (8762)

the name
<08034>

of thy God
<0430>_:

I [am] the LORD
<03068>_.

{Molech: Gr. Moloch}

18:22

Thou shalt not lie
<07901> (8799)

with mankind
<02145>_,

as with
<04904>

<0802>_:

<08441>_.

18:23

Neither shalt thou
<05414> (8799)

lie
<07903>

with any beast
<0929>

thyself therewith: neither shall any woman
<0802>

stand
<05975> (8799)

before
<06440>

a beast
<0929>

to lie down
<07250> (8800)

thereto: it [is] confusion
<08397>_.

18:24

Defile
<02930> (8691)

not ye yourselves in any of these things
<0428>_:

for in all these the nations
<01471>

are defiled
<02930> (8738)

which I cast out
<07971> (8764)

before
<06440>

you:

18:25

And the land
<0776>

is defiled
<02930> (8799)_:

therefore I do visit
<06485> (8799)

the iniquity
<05771>

thereof upon it, and the land
<0776>

itself vomiteth out
<06958> (8686)

her inhabitants
<03427> (8802)_.

18:26

Ye shall therefore keep
<08104> (8804)

my statutes
<02708>

and my judgments
<04941>_,

and shall not commit
<06213> (8799)

[any] of these abominations
<08441>_;

[neither] any of your own nation
<0249>_,

nor any stranger
<01616>

that sojourneth
<01481> (8802)

among
<08432>

you:

18:27

(For all these
<0411>

abominations
<08441>

have the men
<0582>

of the land
<0776>

done
<06213> (8804)_,

which [were] before
<06440>

you, and the land
<0776>

is defiled
<02930> (8799);)

18:28

That the land
<0776>

spue not you out
<06958> (8686)

also, when ye defile
<02930> (8763)

it, as it spued out
<06958> (8804)

the nations
<01471>

that [were] before
<06440>

you.

18:29

For whosoever shall commit
<06213> (8799)

any of these abominations
<08441>_,

even the souls
<05315>

that commit
<06213> (8802)

[them] shall be cut off
<03772> (8738)

from among
<07130>

their people
<05971>_.

18:30

Therefore shall ye keep
<08104> (8804)

mine ordinance
<04931>_,

that [ye] commit
<06213> (8800)

not [any one] of these abominable
<08441>

customs
<02708>_,

which were committed
<06213> (8738)

before
<06440>

you, and that ye defile
<02930> (8691)

not yourselves therein: I [am] the LORD
<03068>

your God
<0430>_.

19:1

And the LORD
<03068>

spake
<01696> (8762)

unto Moses
<04872>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

19:2

Speak
<01696> (8761)

unto all the congregation
<05712>

of the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_,

and say
<0559> (8804)

unto them, Ye shall be holy
<06918>_:

for I the LORD
<03068>

your God
<0430>

[am] holy
<06918>_.

19:3

Ye shall fear
<03372> (8799)

every man
<0376>

his mother
<0517>_,

and his father
<01>_,

and keep
<08104> (8799)

my sabbaths
<07676>_:

I [am] the LORD
<03068>

your God
<0430>_.

19:4

Turn
<06437> (8799)

ye not unto idols
<0457>_,

nor make
<06213> (8799)

to yourselves molten
<04541>

gods
<0430>_:

I [am] the LORD
<03068>

your God
<0430>_.

19:5

And if ye offer
<02076> (8799)

a sacrifice
<02077>

of peace offerings
<08002>

unto the LORD
<03068>_,

ye shall offer
<02076> (8799)

it at your own will
<07522>_.

19:6

It shall be eaten
<0398> (8735)

the same day
<03117>

ye offer
<02077>

it, and on the morrow
<04283>_:

and if ought remain
<03498> (8737)

until the third
<07992>

day
<03117>_,

it shall be burnt
<08313> (8735)

in the fire
<0784>_.

19:7

And if it be eaten
<0398> (8735)

at all
<0398> (8736)

on the third
<07992>

day
<03117>_,

it [is] abominable
<06292>_;

it shall not be accepted
<07521> (8735)_.

19:8

Therefore [every one] that eateth
<0398> (8802)

it shall bear
<05375> (8799)

his iniquity
<05771>_,

because he hath profaned
<02490> (8765)

the hallowed thing
<06944>

of the LORD
<03068>_:

and that soul
<05315>

shall be cut off
<03772> (8738)

from among his people
<05971>_.

19:9

And when ye reap
<07114> (8800)

the harvest
<07105>

of your land
<0776>_,

thou shalt not wholly reap
<03615> (8762)

the corners
<06285>

of thy field
<07704>_,

neither shalt thou gather
<03950> (8762)

the gleanings
<03951>

of thy harvest
<07105>_.

19:10

And thou shalt not glean
<05953> (8779)

thy vineyard
<03754>_,

neither shalt thou gather
<03950> (8762)

[every] grape
<06528>

of thy vineyard
<03754>_;

thou shalt leave
<05800> (8799)

them for the poor
<06041>

and stranger
<01616>_:

I [am] the LORD
<03068>

your God
<0430>_.

19:11

Ye shall not steal
<01589> (8799)_,

neither deal falsely
<03584> (8762)_,

neither lie
<08266> (8762)

one
<0376>

to another
<05997>_.

19:12

And ye shall not swear
<07650> (8735)

by my name
<08034>

falsely
<08267>_,

neither shalt thou profane
<02490> (8765)

the name
<08034>

of thy God
<0430>_:

I [am] the LORD
<03068>_.

19:13

Thou shalt not defraud
<06231> (8799)

thy neighbour
<07453>_,

neither rob
<01497> (8799)

[him]: the wages
<06468>

of him that is hired
<07916>

shall not abide
<03885> (8799)

with thee all night until the morning
<01242>_.

19:14

Thou shalt not curse
<07043> (8762)

the deaf
<02795>_,

nor put
<05414> (8799)

a stumblingblock
<04383>

before
<06440>

the blind
<05787>_,

but shalt fear
<03372> (8804)

thy God
<0430>_:

I [am] the LORD
<03068>_.

19:15

Ye shall do
<06213> (8799)

no unrighteousness
<05766>

in judgment
<04941>_:

thou shalt not respect
<05375> (8799)

the person
<06440>

of the poor
<01800>_,

nor honour
<01921> (8799)

the person
<06440>

of the mighty
<01419>_:

[but] in righteousness
<06664>

shalt thou judge
<08199> (8799)

thy neighbour
<05997>_.

19:16

Thou shalt not go
<03212> (8799)

up and down [as] a talebearer
<07400>

among thy people
<05971>_:

neither shalt thou stand
<05975> (8799)

against the blood
<01818>

of thy neighbour
<07453>_:

I [am] the LORD
<03068>_.

19:17

Thou shalt not hate
<08130> (8799)

thy brother
<0251>

in thine heart
<03824>_:

thou shalt in any wise
<03198> (8687)

rebuke
<03198> (8686)

thy neighbour
<05997>_,

and not suffer
<05375> (8799)

sin
<02399>

upon him. {and...: or, that thou bear not sin for him}

19:18

Thou shalt not avenge
<05358> (8799)_,

nor bear any grudge
<05201> (8799)

against the children
<01121>

of thy people
<05971>_,

but thou shalt love
<0157> (8804)

thy neighbour
<07453>

as thyself
<03644>_:

I [am] the LORD
<03068>_.

19:19

Ye shall keep
<08104> (8799)

my statutes
<02708>_.

Thou shalt not let thy cattle
<0929>

gender
<07250> (8686)

with a diverse kind
<03610>_:

thou shalt not sow
<02232> (8799)

thy field
<07704>

with mingled seed
<03610>_:

neither shall a garment
<0899>

mingled
<03610>

of linen and woollen
<08162>

come
<05927> (8799)

upon thee.

19:20

And whosoever
<0376>

lieth
<07901> (8799)

carnally
<02233> <07902>

with a woman
<0802>_,

that [is] a bondmaid
<08198>_,

betrothed
<02778> (8737)

to an husband
<0376>_,

and not at all
<06299> (8715)

redeemed
<06299> (8738)_,

nor freedom
<02668>

given
<05414> (8738)

her; she shall be scourged
<01244>_;

they shall not be put to death
<04191> (8714)_,

because she was not free

{betrothed...: or, abused by any: Heb. reproached by (or, for) man} {she shall...: or, they, etc: Heb. there shall be a scourging}

19:21

And he shall bring
<0935> (8689)

<0817>

unto the LORD
<03068>_,

unto the door
<06607>

of the tabernacle

<04150>_,

[even] a ram
<0352>

for a trespass offering
<0817>_.

19:22

And the priest
<03548>

shall make an atonement
<03722> (8765)

for him with the ram

before
<06440>

the LORD
<03068>

for his sin
<02403>

which he hath done
<02398> (8804)_:

and the sin
<02403>

which he hath done
<02398> (8804)

shall be forgiven
<05545> (8738)

him.

19:23

And when ye shall come
<0935> (8799)

into the land
<0776>_,

and shall have planted
<05193> (8804)

all manner of trees
<06086>

for food
<03978>_,

then ye shall count
<06188> (0)

the fruit
<06529>

thereof as uncircumcised
<06188> (8804) <06190>_:

three
<07969>

years
<08141>

shall it be as uncircumcised
<06189>

unto you: it shall not be eaten
<0398> (8735)

of.

19:24

But in the fourth
<07243>

year
<08141>

all the fruit

<06944>

to praise
<01974>

the LORD
<03068>

[withal]. {holy...: Heb. holiness of praises to the LORD}

19:25

And in the fifth
<02549>

<08141>

shall ye eat

of the fruit
<06529>

thereof, that it may yield
<03254> (8687)

unto you the increase
<08393>

thereof: I [am] the LORD
<03068>

your God
<0430>_.

19:26

Ye shall not eat
<0398> (8799)

[any thing] with the blood
<01818>_:

neither shall ye use enchantment
<05172> (8762)_,

nor observe times
<06049> (8779)_.

<05362> (8686)

the corners
<06285>

Do not prostitute
<02490> (8762)

thy daughter
<01323>_,

to cause her to be a whore
<02181> (8687)_;

lest the land
<0776>

fall to whoredom
<02181> (8799)_,

and the land
<0776>

become full
<04390> (8804)

of wickedness
<02154>_.

{prostitute: Heb. profane}

19:30

Ye shall keep
<08104> (8799)

my sabbaths
<07676>_,

and reverence
<03372> (8799)

my sanctuary
<04720>_:

I [am] the LORD
<03068>_.

19:31

Regard
<06437> (8799)

not them that have familiar spirits
<0178>_,

neither seek
<01245> (8762)

after wizards
<03049>_,

to be defiled
<02930> (8800)

by them: I [am] the LORD
<03068>

your God
<0430>_.

19:32

Thou shalt rise up
<06965> (8799)

before
<06440>

the hoary head
<07872>_,

and honour
<01921> (8804)

the face
<06440>

of the old man
<02205>_,

and fear
<03372> (8804)

thy God
<0430>_:

I [am] the LORD
<03068>_.

19:33

And if a stranger
<01616>

sojourn
<01481> (8799)

with thee in your land
<0776>_,

ye shall not vex
<03238> (8686)

him. {vex: or, oppress}

19:34

[But] the stranger
<01616>

that dwelleth
<01481> (8802)

with you shall be unto you as one born
<0249>

among you, and thou shalt love
<0157> (8804)

him as thyself; for ye were strangers
<01616>

in the land
<0776>

of Egypt
<04714>_:

I [am] the LORD
<03068>

your God
<0430>_.

19:35

Ye shall do
<06213> (8799)

no unrighteousness
<05766>

in judgment
<04941>_,

in meteyard
<04060>_,

in weight
<04948>_,

or in measure
<04884>_.

19:36

Just
<06664>

balances
<03976>_,

just
<06664>

weights
<068>_,

a just
<06664>

ephah
<0374>_,

and a just
<06664>

hin
<01969>_,

shall ye have: I [am] the LORD
<03068>

your God
<0430>_,

which brought you out
<03318> (8689)

of the land
<0776>

of Egypt
<04714>_.

{weights: Heb. stones}

19:37

Therefore shall ye observe
<08104> (8804)

all my statutes
<02708>_,

and all my judgments
<04941>_,

and do
<06213> (8804)

them: I [am] the LORD
<03068>_.
