Be holy
The Lord spoke to Moses: 'Speak to the whole community of Israel and tell them: You must be holy, because I, the Lord your God, am holy.' 'Every one of you must respect his mother and father, and keep my sabbaths. I am the Lord your God.' 'Do not turn to idols or make molten gods for yourselves. I am the Lord your God.' If you offer a sacrifice of peace offerings to the Lord, you will offer it of your own will. It'll be eaten the same day you offer it, and the next day. And what's left till the third day will be burnt in the fire. If it's eaten at all on the third day, it's a rotten thing. It won't be accepted. So whoever eats it will carry his wrongdoing, because he's made the holy thing of the Lord unholy. And that person will be cut off from among his people. 'When you reap the harvest of your land, do not reap every last corner of the field or gather every bit left behind.' 'Do not strip your vineyard bare or pick up every fallen grape. Leave them for the poor and the stranger. I am the Lord your God.' 'Do not steal. Do not deal falsely. Do not lie to one another.' 'Do not swear falsely by my name and profane the name of your God. I am the Lord.' 'Do not defraud or rob your neighbour. Do not hold back a hired worker's wages overnight.' 'Do not curse the deaf or put a stumbling block in front of the blind. Fear your God. I am the Lord.' 'Do no injustice in judgment. Do not favour the poor or show partiality to the powerful. Judge your neighbour fairly.' 'Do not go around spreading tales among your people, and do not stand by while your neighbour's life is in danger. I am the Lord.' 'Do not hate your brother in your heart. Rebuke your neighbour plainly, so you do not share in his sin.' 'Do not take revenge or hold a grudge against your people. Love your neighbour as yourself. I am the Lord.'
And the Lord spoke to Moses: Speak to the whole gathering of the people of Israel and say to them: Be holy, because I the Lord your God am holy. Every one of you will fear his mother and his father, and keep my sabbaths. I'm the Lord your God. Don't turn to idols or make yourselves cast gods. I'm the Lord your God. And if you offer a sacrifice of peace offerings to the Lord, you'll offer it of your own will. It'll be eaten the same day you offer it, and the next day. And what's left till the third day will be burnt in the fire. And if it's eaten at all on the third day, it's a rotten thing. It won't be accepted. So whoever eats it will carry his wrongdoing, because he's made the holy thing of the Lord common. And that soul will be cut off from among his people. And when you reap the harvest of your land, you won't reap right into the corners of your field, and you won't gather the gleanings of your harvest. And you won't go over your vineyard again, and you won't gather every grape of your vineyard. You'll leave them for the poor and for the stranger. I'm the Lord your God. You won't steal or deal falsely or lie to each other. And you won't swear falsely by my name, or make the name of your God common. I'm the Lord. You won't cheat your neighbour or rob him. The wages of a hired man won't stay with you all night till the morning. You won't curse the deaf or put a stumbling block in front of the blind, but you'll fear your God. I'm the Lord. You won't do wrong in judgment. You won't take the side of the poor or honour the person of the great. But you'll judge your neighbour in righteousness. You won't go about spreading tales among your people. And you won't stand by while your neighbour's blood is shed. I'm the Lord. You won't hate your brother in your heart. You'll pull your neighbour up straight and not carry sin because of him. You won't get your own back or hold a grudge against the children of your people. But you'll love your neighbour as yourself. I'm the Lord.
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 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. Ye shall fear every man his mother, and his father, and keep my sabbaths: I am the LORD your God. Turn ye not unto idols, nor make to yourselves molten gods: I am the LORD your God. And if ye offer a sacrifice of peace offerings unto the LORD, ye shall offer it at your own will. 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. And if it be eaten at all on the third day, it is abominable; it shall not be accepted. Therefore every one that eateth it shall bear his iniquity, because he hath profaned the hallowed thing of the LORD: and that soul shall be cut off from among his people. And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not wholly reap the corners of thy field, neither shalt thou gather the gleanings of thy harvest. And thou shalt not glean thy vineyard, neither shalt thou gather every grape of thy vineyard; thou shalt leave them for the poor and stranger: I am the LORD your God. Ye shall not steal, neither deal falsely, neither lie one to another. And ye shall not swear by my name falsely, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I am the LORD. Thou shalt not defraud thy neighbour, neither rob him: the wages of him that is hired shall not abide with thee all night until the morning. Thou shalt not curse the deaf, nor put a stumblingblock before the blind, but shalt fear thy God: I am the LORD. Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment: thou shalt not respect the person of the poor, nor honor the person of the mighty: but in righteousness shalt thou judge thy neighbour. 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. 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.

Keep my rules
You'll keep my rules. You must not let your cattle breed with a different kind. You must not sow your field with mixed seed. And a garment mixed of linen and wool won't come on you. And whoever sleeps with a woman who's a servant, promised to a husband and not redeemed or given her freedom — she will be punished. They must not be put to death, because she wasn't free. He will bring his guilt offering to the Lord, to the door of the tent of meeting, a ram for a guilt offering. The priest will make atonement for him with the ram of the guilt offering before the Lord for the sin he's sinned. And the sin he's sinned will be forgiven him. When you come into the land and plant all kinds of trees for food, then you will count its fruit as forbidden. Three years it will be forbidden to you. It won't be eaten. But in the fourth year all its fruit will be holy, for praising the Lord. And in the fifth year you will eat its fruit, so it gives you more of its harvest. I am the Lord your God. You must not eat anything with the blood. And you must not use magic or read signs. You must not cut the hair round the sides of your head, or disfigure the edges of your beard. You must not make any cuts in your flesh for the dead, or print any marks on you. I am the Lord. Don't make your daughter unholy by making her a prostitute, so the land doesn't fall into whoring and the land turns full of wickedness. You'll keep my sabbaths and reverence my sanctuary. I am the Lord. Don't turn to mediums or look for wizards, to be made unclean by them. I am the Lord your God. 'Stand up in the presence of the elderly, honour the face of the old, and fear your God. I am the Lord.' 'If a stranger lives with you in your land, do not mistreat him.' 'Treat the stranger living among you like one of your own. Love him as yourself, because you were strangers in Egypt. I am the Lord your God.' You must not do wrong in judgment, in measures of length, of weight or of quantity. You'll have honest scales, honest weights, an honest bushel and an honest gallon. I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt. So you will keep all my rules and all my judgments and do them. I am the Lord.

Don't make your daughter common by making her a prostitute, so the land doesn't fall into whoring and the land turns full of wickedness. You'll keep my sabbaths and stand in awe of my holy place. I'm the Lord. Don't turn to mediums or look for wizards, to be made unclean by them. I'm the Lord your God. You'll get up in front of grey hair and honour the face of the old man, and fear your God. I'm the Lord. And if a stranger stays with you in your land, you won't do him wrong. The stranger staying with you will be to you like one born among you, and you'll love him as yourself. Because you were strangers in the land of Egypt. I'm the Lord your God. You won't do wrong in judgment, in measures of length, of weight or of quantity.

Ye shall keep my statutes. Thou shalt not let thy cattle gender with a diverse kind: thou shalt not sow thy field with mingled seed: neither shall a garment mingled of linen and woollen come upon thee. 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. 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. And the priest shall make an atonement for him with the ram of the trespass offering before the LORD for his sin which he hath done: and the sin which he hath done shall be forgiven him.

Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the LORD. 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. Ye shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary: I am the LORD. Regard not them that have familiar spirits, neither seek after wizards, to be defiled by them: I am the LORD your God. Thou shalt rise up before the hoary head, and honour the face of the old man, and fear thy God: I am the LORD. And if a stranger sojourn with thee in your land, ye shall not vex him. 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. Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment, in meteyard, in weight, or in measure. Just balances, just weights, a just ephah, and a just hin, shall ye have: I am the LORD your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt. Therefore shall ye observe all my statutes, and all my judgments, and do them: I am the LORD.
