International Standard Version

1And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

1The LORD spoke to Moses,

2“Speak to all the congregation of the children of Israel, and say to them: ‘You shall be holy, for I the LORD your God am holy.

2"Tell the entire assembly of Israel that they are to be holy, since I, the LORD your God, am holy.

3‘Every one of you shall revere his mother and his father, and keep My Sabbaths: I am the LORD your God.

3"Each of you is to fear his mother and father. "Observe my Sabbaths. I am the LORD your God.

4‘Do not turn to idols, nor make for yourselves molded gods: I am the LORD your God.

4"You are not to turn to their idols or cast gods out of melted metal for yourselves. I am the LORD your God.

5‘And if you offer a sacrifice of a peace offering to the LORD, you shall offer it of your own free will.

5"When you offer a peace offering to the LORD, you are to offer it for your acceptance.

6It shall be eaten the same day you offer it, and on the next day. And if any remains until the third day, it shall be burned in the fire.

6Your sacrifice is to be eaten on that day and the next day. Anything that remains to the third day is to be incinerated.

7And if it is eaten at all on the third day, it is an abomination. It shall not be accepted.

7If it is eaten on the third day, it's unclean. It won't be accepted.

8Therefore everyone who eats it shall bear his iniquity, because he has profaned the hallowed offering of the LORD; and that person shall be cut off from his people.

8Anyone who eats it will bear the punishment of his sin, since he will have defiled himself regarding the LORD's holy things. That person is to be eliminated from contact with his people."

9‘When you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not wholly reap the corners of your field, nor shall you gather the gleanings of your harvest.

9"When you reap the harvest of your land, you are not to completely finish harvesting the corners of the field—that is, you are not to pick what remains after you have reaped your harvest.

10And you shall not glean your vineyard, nor shall you gather every grape of your vineyard; you shall leave them for the poor and the stranger: I am the LORD your God.

10You are not to gather your vineyard or pick up the fallen grapes of your vineyard. Leave something for the poor and the resident alien who lives among you. I am the LORD your God."

11‘You shall not steal, nor deal falsely, nor lie to one another.

11"You are not to steal or lie or deal falsely with your neighbor.

12And you shall not swear by My name falsely, nor shall you profane the name of your God: I am the LORD.

12"You are not to use my name to deceive, thereby defiling the name of your God. I am the LORD.

13‘You shall not cheat your neighbor, nor rob him. The wages of him who is hired shall not remain with you all night until morning.

14You shall not curse the deaf, nor put a stumbling block before the blind, but shall fear your God: I am the LORD.

14"You are not to curse a deaf person or put a stumbling block before the blind. "You are to fear God. I am the LORD.

15‘You shall do no injustice in judgment. You shall not be partial to the poor, nor honor the person of the mighty. In righteousness you shall judge your neighbor.

19"Observe my statutes. "You are not to let your cattle breed with a different species. "You are not to sow your fields with two different kinds of seeds. "You are not to wear clothing made from two different kinds of material.

20‘Whoever lies carnally with a woman who is betrothed to a man as a concubine, and who has not at all been redeemed nor given her freedom, for this there shall be scourging; but they shall not be put to death, because she was not free.

20"When a person has sexual relations with a woman servant who is engaged to another man, but she has not been completely redeemed nor has her freedom been granted to her, there is to be an inquiry, but they won't be put to death, since she has not been freed.

21And he shall bring his trespass offering to the LORD, to the door of the tabernacle of meeting, a ram as a trespass offering.

21The perpetrator is to bring his guilt offering to the LORD at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting—that is, a ram as a guilt offering.

22The priest shall make atonement for him with the ram of the trespass offering before the LORD for his sin which he has committed. And the sin which he has committed shall be forgiven him.

22Then the priest is to make atonement for him with the ram as a guilt offering in the LORD's presence on account of his sin which he has committed, but which will be forgiven him."

23‘When you come into the land, and have planted all kinds of trees for food, then you shall count their fruit as uncircumcised. Three years it shall be as uncircumcised to you. It shall not be eaten.

23"When you have entered the land and planted all sorts of trees for food, regard its fruit as uncircumcised for the first three years for you. It is not to be eaten.

24But in the fourth year all its fruit shall be holy, a praise to the LORD.

24During the fourth year, all its fruit is to be offered as a holy token of praise to the LORD.

25And in the fifth year you may eat its fruit, that it may yield to you its increase: I am the LORD your God.

25But on the fifth year, you may eat its fruits to increase its produce for you."
