1 Disse o Senhor a Moisés: 2 Fala a toda a congregação dos filhos de Israel e dize-lhes: Santos sereis, porque eu, o Senhor, vosso Deus, sou santo. 3 Cada um respeitará a sua mãe e o seu pai e guardará os meus sábados. Eu sou o Senhor, vosso Deus. 4 Não vos virareis para os ídolos, nem vos fareis deuses de fundição. Eu sou o Senhor, vosso Deus.

5 Quando oferecerdes sacrifício pacífico ao Senhor, oferecê-lo-eis para que sejais aceitos. 6 No dia em que o oferecerdes e no dia seguinte, se comerá; mas o que sobejar, ao terceiro dia, será queimado. 7 Se alguma coisa dele for comida ao terceiro dia, é abominação; não será aceita. 8 Qualquer que o comer levará a sua iniquidade, porquanto profanou coisa santa do Senhor; por isso, será eliminado do seu povo.

9 Quando também segares a messe da tua terra, o canto do teu campo não segarás totalmente, nem as espigas caídas colherás da tua messe. 10 Não rebuscarás a tua vinha, nem colherás os bagos caídos da tua vinha; deixá-los-ás ao pobre e ao estrangeiro. Eu sou o Senhor, vosso Deus.

11 Não furtareis, nem mentireis, nem usareis de falsidade cada um com o seu próximo; 12 nem jurareis falso pelo meu nome, pois profanaríeis o nome do vosso Deus. Eu sou o Senhor.

13 Não oprimirás o teu próximo, nem o roubarás; a paga do jornaleiro não ficará contigo até pela manhã.

14 Não amaldiçoarás o surdo, nem porás tropeço diante do cego; mas temerás o teu Deus. Eu sou o Senhor.

15 Não farás injustiça no juízo, nem favorecendo o pobre, nem comprazendo ao grande; com justiça julgarás o teu próximo.

16 Não andarás como mexeriqueiro entre o teu povo; não atentarás contra a vida do teu próximo. Eu sou o Senhor.

17 Não aborrecerás teu irmão no teu íntimo; mas repreenderás o teu próximo e, por causa dele, não levarás sobre ti pecado.

18 Não te vingarás, nem guardarás ira contra os filhos do teu povo; mas amarás o teu próximo como a ti mesmo. Eu sou o Senhor.

19 Guardarás os meus estatutos; não permitirás que os teus animais se ajuntem com os de espécie diversa; no teu campo, não semearás semente de duas espécies; nem usarás roupa de dois estofos misturados.

20 Se alguém se deitar com uma mulher, se for escrava desposada com outro homem e não for resgatada, nem se lhe houver dado liberdade, então, serão açoitados; não serão mortos, pois não foi libertada. 21 O homem, como oferta pela sua culpa, trará um carneiro ao Senhor, à porta da tenda da congregação. 22 Com o carneiro da oferta pela culpa, o sacerdote fará expiação, por ele, perante o Senhor, pelo pecado que cometeu, e ser-lhe-á perdoado o pecado que cometeu.

23 Quando entrardes na terra e plantardes toda sorte de árvore de comer, ser-vos-á vedado o seu fruto; três anos vos será vedado; dele não se comerá. 24 Porém, no quarto ano, todo o seu fruto será santo, será oferta de louvores ao Senhor. 25 No quinto ano, comereis fruto dela para que vos faça aumentar a sua produção. Eu sou o Senhor, vosso Deus.

26 Não comereis coisa alguma com sangue; não agourareis, nem adivinhareis.

27 Não cortareis o cabelo em redondo, nem danificareis as extremidades da barba. 28 Pelos mortos não ferireis a vossa carne; nem fareis marca nenhuma sobre vós. Eu sou o Senhor.

29 Não contaminarás a tua filha, fazendo-a prostituir-se; para que a terra não se prostitua, nem se encha de maldade. 30 Guardareis os meus sábados e reverenciareis o meu santuário. Eu sou o Senhor.

31 Não vos voltareis para os necromantes, nem para os adivinhos; não os procureis para serdes contaminados por eles. Eu sou o Senhor, vosso Deus.

32 Diante das cãs te levantarás, e honrarás a presença do ancião, e temerás o teu Deus. Eu sou o Senhor.

33 Se o estrangeiro peregrinar na vossa terra, não o oprimireis. 34 Como o natural, será entre vós o estrangeiro que peregrina convosco; amá-lo-eis como a vós mesmos, pois estrangeiros fostes na terra do Egito. Eu sou o Senhor, vosso Deus.

35 Não cometereis injustiça no juízo, nem na vara, nem no peso, nem na medida. 36 Balanças justas, pesos justos, efa justo e justo him tereis. Eu sou o Senhor, vosso Deus, que vos tirei da terra do Egito. 37 Guardareis todos os meus estatutos e todos os meus juízos e os cumprireis. Eu sou o Senhor.

1 And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, 2 Speak unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, and say unto them, Ye shall be holy; for I Jehovah your God am holy. 3 Ye shall fear every man his mother, and his father; and ye shall keep my sabbaths: I am Jehovah your God. 4 Turn ye not unto idols, nor make to yourselves molten gods: I am Jehovah your God.

5 And when ye offer a sacrifice of peace-offerings unto Jehovah, ye shall offer it that ye may be accepted. 6 It shall be eaten the same day ye offer it, and on the morrow: and if aught remain until the third day, it shall be burnt with fire. 7 And if it be eaten at all on the third day, it is an abomination; it shall not be accepted: 8 but every one that eateth it shall bear his iniquity, because he hath profaned the holy thing of Jehovah: and that soul shall be cut off from his people.

9 And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not wholly reap the corners of thy field, neither shalt thou gather the gleaning of thy harvest. 10 And thou shalt not glean thy vineyard, neither shalt thou gather the fallen fruit of thy vineyard; thou shalt leave them for the poor and for the sojourner: I am Jehovah your God.

11 Ye shall not steal; neither shall ye deal falsely, nor lie one to another. 12 And ye shall not swear by my name falsely, and profane the name of thy God: I am Jehovah.

13 Thou shalt not oppress thy neighbor, nor rob him: the wages of a hired servant shall not abide with thee all night until the morning. 14 Thou shalt not curse the deaf, nor put a stumblingblock before the blind; but thou shalt fear thy God: I am Jehovah.

15 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 neighbor. 16 Thou shalt not go up and down as a talebearer among thy people: neither shalt thou stand against the blood of thy neighbor: I am Jehovah.

17 Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thy heart: thou shalt surely rebuke thy neighbor, and not bear sin because of him. 18 Thou shalt not take vengeance, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people; but thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself: I am Jehovah.

19 Ye shall keep my statutes. Thou shalt not let thy cattle gender with a diverse kind: thou shalt not sow thy field with two kinds of seed: neither shall there come upon thee a garment of two kinds of stuff mingled together. 20 And whosoever lieth carnally with a woman, that is a bondmaid, betrothed to a husband, and not at all redeemed, nor freedom given her; they shall be punished; they shall not be put to death, because she was not free. 21 And he shall bring his trespass-offering unto Jehovah, unto the door of the tent of meeting, even a ram for a trespass-offering. 22 And the priest shall make atonement for him with the ram of the trespass-offering before Jehovah for his sin which he hath sinned: and the sin which he hath sinned shall be forgiven him.

23 And when ye shall come into the land, and shall have planted all manner of trees for food, then ye shall count the fruit thereof as their uncircumcision: three years shall they be as uncircumcised unto you; it shall not be eaten. 24 But in the fourth year all the fruit thereof shall be holy, for giving praise unto Jehovah. 25 And in the fifth year shall ye eat of the fruit thereof, that it may yield unto you the increase thereof: I am Jehovah your God.

26 Ye shall not eat anything with the blood: neither shall ye use enchantments, nor practise augury. 27 Ye shall not round the corners of your heads, neither shalt thou mar the corners of thy beard. 28 Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am Jehovah.

29 Profane not thy daughter, to make her a harlot; lest the land fall to whoredom, and the land become full of wickedness. 30 Ye shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary: I am Jehovah.

31 Turn ye not unto them that have familiar spirits, nor unto the wizards; seek them not out, to be defiled by them: I am Jehovah your God.

32 Thou shalt rise up before the hoary head, and honor the face of the old man, and thou shalt fear thy God: I am Jehovah.

33 And if a stranger sojourn with thee in your land, ye shall not do him wrong. 34 The stranger that sojourneth with you shall be unto you as the home-born among you, and thou shalt love him as thyself; for ye were sojourners in the land of Egypt: I am Jehovah your God.

35 Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment, in measures of length, of weight, or of quantity. 36 Just 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. 37 And ye shall observe all my statutes, and all mine ordinances, and do them: I am Jehovah.

1 The LORD said to Moses,

2 "Speak to the entire assembly of Israel and say to them: 'Be holy because I, the LORD your God, am holy.

3 "'Each of you must respect your mother and father, and you must observe my Sabbaths. I am the LORD your God.

4 "'Do not turn to idols or make metal gods for yourselves. I am the LORD your God.

5 "'When you sacrifice a fellowship offering to the LORD, sacrifice it in such a way that it will be accepted on your behalf.

6 It shall be eaten on the day you sacrifice it or on the next day; anything left over until the third day must be burned up.

7 If any of it is eaten on the third day, it is impure and will not be accepted.

8 Whoever eats it will be held responsible because they have desecrated what is holy to the LORD; they must be cut off from their people.

9 "'When you reap the harvest of your land, do not reap to the very edges of your field or gather the gleanings of your harvest.

10 Do not go over your vineyard a second time or pick up the grapes that have fallen. Leave them for the poor and the foreigner. I am the LORD your God.

11 "'Do not steal. "'Do not lie. "'Do not deceive one another.

12 "'Do not swear falsely by my name and so profane the name of your God. I am the LORD.

13 "'Do not defraud or rob your neighbor. "'Do not hold back the wages of a hired worker overnight.

14 "'Do not curse the deaf or put a stumbling block in front of the blind, but fear your God. I am the LORD.

15 "'Do not pervert justice; do not show partiality to the poor or favoritism to the great, but judge your neighbor fairly.

16 "'Do not go about spreading slander among your people. "'Do not do anything that endangers your neighbor's life. I am the LORD.

17 "'Do not hate a fellow Israelite in your heart. Rebuke your neighbor frankly so you will not share in their guilt.

18 "'Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge against anyone among your people, but love your neighbor as yourself. I am the LORD.

19 "'Keep my decrees. "'Do not mate different kinds of animals. "'Do not plant your field with two kinds of seed. "'Do not wear clothing woven of two kinds of material.

20 "'If a man sleeps with a female slave who is promised to another man but who has not been ransomed or given her freedom, there must be due punishment. "Yet they are not to be put to death, because she had not been freed.

21 The man, however, must bring a ram to the entrance to the tent of meeting for a guilt offering to the LORD.

22 With the ram of the guilt offering the priest is to make atonement for him before the LORD for the sin he has committed, and his sin will be forgiven.

23 "'When you enter the land and plant any kind of fruit tree, regard its fruit as forbidden. "For three years you are to consider it forbidden "; it must not be eaten.

24 In the fourth year all its fruit will be holy, an offering of praise to the LORD.

25 But in the fifth year you may eat its fruit. In this way your harvest will be increased. I am the LORD your God.

26 "'Do not eat any meat with the blood still in it. "'Do not practice divination or seek omens.

27 "'Do not cut the hair at the sides of your head or clip off the edges of your beard.

28 "'Do not cut your bodies for the dead or put tattoo marks on yourselves. I am the LORD.

29 "'Do not degrade your daughter by making her a prostitute, or the land will turn to prostitution and be filled with wickedness.

30 "'Observe my Sabbaths and have reverence for my sanctuary. I am the LORD.

31 "'Do not turn to mediums or seek out spiritists, for you will be defiled by them. I am the LORD your God.

32 "'Stand up in the presence of the aged, show respect for the elderly and revere your God. I am the LORD.

33 "'When a foreigner resides among you in your land, do not mistreat them.

34 The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the LORD your God.

35 "'Do not use dishonest standards when measuring length, weight or quantity.

36 Use honest scales and honest weights, an honest ephah "and an honest hin. "I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of Egypt.

37 "'Keep all my decrees and all my laws and follow them. I am the LORD.'"
