Keep ye therefore mine ordinances and judgements, and see that ye
commit none of these abominations: neither any of you nor any stranger
that sojourneth among you (for all these abominations have the men of
the land done which were there before you, and the land is defiled)
lest that the land spew you out when ye have defiled it, as it spewed
out the nations that were there before you. For whosoever shall commit
any of these abominations, the same souls that commit them shall perish
from among their people. Therefore see that ye keep mine ordinances,
that ye commit none of these abominable customs which were committed
before you: that ye defile not your selves therewith for I am the LORD
your God.
Chapter .xix.
And the LORD spake unto Moses saying: speak unto all the multitude of
the children of Israel, and say unto them. Be holy for I the LORD your
God am holy. See that ye fear every man his father and his mother, and
that ye keep my Sabbaths, for I am the LORD your God. Ye shall not turn
unto idols nor make you gods of metal: I am the LORD your God. When ye
offer your peaceofferings unto the LORD, ye shall offer them that ye
may be accepted. And it shall be eaten the same day ye offer it and on
the morrow, but whatsoever is left on the third day shall be burnt in

overscaped. But thou shalt leave them for the poor and stranger. I am
the LORD your God. Ye shall not steal neither lie, neither deal falsely
one with another. Ye shall not swear by my name falsely: that thou
defilest not the name of thy God, I am the LORD. Thou shalt not beguile
thy neighbour with cavillations, neither rob him violently, neither
shall the workman's labour abide with thee until the morning. Thou
shalt not curse the deaf, neither put a stumbling block before the
blind: but shalt fear thy God. I am the LORD. Ye shall do no
unrighteousness in judgement. Thou shalt not favour the poor nor honour
the mighty, but shalt judge thy neighbour righteously. Thou shalt not
go up and down a privy accuser among thy people, neither shalt thou
help to shed the blood of thy neighbour: I am the LORD. Thou shalt not
hate thy brother in thine heart but shalt in any wise rebuke thy
neighbour: that thou bear not sin for his sake. Thou shalt not avenge
