1The LORD also said to Moses,

1The LORD spoke to Moses:

2“Give the following instructions to the entire community of Israel. You must be holy because I, the LORD your God, am holy.

2"Speak to the entire Israelite community and tell them: Be holy because I, the LORD your God, am holy.

3“Each of you must show great respect for your mother and father, and you must always observe my Sabbath days of rest. I am the LORD your God.

3"Each of you is to respect his mother and father. You are to keep my Sabbaths; I am the LORD your God.

4“Do not put your trust in idols or make metal images of gods for yourselves. I am the LORD your God.

4Do not turn to idols or make cast images of gods for yourselves; I am the LORD your God.

5“When you sacrifice a peace offering to the LORD, offer it properly so you will be accepted by God.

5"When you offer a fellowship sacrifice to the LORD, sacrifice it so that you may be accepted.

6The sacrifice must be eaten on the same day you offer it or on the next day. Whatever is left over until the third day must be completely burned up.

6It is to be eaten on the day you sacrifice it or on the next day, but what remains on the third day must be burned.

7If any of the sacrifice is eaten on the third day, it will be contaminated, and I will not accept it.

7If any is eaten on the third day, it is a repulsive thing; it will not be accepted.

8Anyone who eats it on the third day will be punished for defiling what is holy to the LORD and will be cut off from the community.

8Anyone who eats it will bear his iniquity, for he has profaned what is holy to the LORD. That person is to be cut off from his people.

9“When you harvest the crops of your land, do not harvest the grain along the edges of your fields, and do not pick up what the harvesters drop.

9"When you reap the harvest of your land, you are not to reap to the very edge of your field or gather the gleanings of your harvest.

10It is the same with your grape crop—do not strip every last bunch of grapes from the vines, and do not pick up the grapes that fall to the ground. Leave them for the poor and the foreigners living among you. I am the LORD your God.

10Do not strip your vineyard bare or gather its fallen grapes. Leave them for the poor and the resident alien; I am the LORD your God.

11“Do not steal. “Do not deceive or cheat one another.

11"Do not steal. Do not act deceptively or lie to one another.

12“Do not bring shame on the name of your God by using it to swear falsely. I am the LORD.

12Do not swear falsely by my name, profaning the name of your God; I am the LORD.

13“Do not defraud or rob your neighbor. “Do not make your hired workers wait until the next day to receive their pay.

13"Do not oppress your neighbor or rob him. The wages due a hired worker must not remain with you until morning.

15"Do not act unjustly when deciding a case. Do not be partial to the poor or give preference to the rich; judge your neighbor fairly.

16“Do not spread slanderous gossip among your people. “Do not stand idly by when your neighbor’s life is threatened. I am the LORD.

19“You must obey all my decrees. “Do not mate two different kinds of animals. Do not plant your field with two different kinds of seed. Do not wear clothing woven from two different kinds of thread.

19"You are to keep my statutes. Do not crossbreed two different kinds of your livestock, sow your fields with two kinds of seed, or put on a garment made of two kinds of material.

20“If a man has sex with a slave girl whose freedom has never been purchased but who is committed to become another man’s wife, he must pay full compensation to her master. But since she is not a free woman, neither the man nor the woman will be put to death.

20"If a man has sexual intercourse with a woman who is a slave designated for another man, but she has not been redeemed or given her freedom, there must be punishment. They are not to be put to death, because she had not been freed.

21The man, however, must bring a ram as a guilt offering and present it to the LORD at the entrance of the Tabernacle.

21However, he must bring a ram as his guilt offering to the LORD at the entrance to the tent of meeting.

22The priest will then purify him before the LORD with the ram of the guilt offering, and the man’s sin will be forgiven.

22The priest will make atonement on his behalf before the LORD with the ram of the guilt offering for the sin he has committed, and he will be forgiven for the sin he committed.

23“When you enter the land and plant fruit trees, leave the fruit unharvested for the first three years and consider it forbidden. Do not eat it.

23"When you come into the land and plant any kind of tree for food, you are to consider the fruit forbidden. It will be forbidden to you for three years; it is not to be eaten.

24In the fourth year the entire crop must be consecrated to the LORD as a celebration of praise.

24In the fourth year all its fruit is to be consecrated as a praise offering to the LORD.

25Finally, in the fifth year you may eat the fruit. If you follow this pattern, your harvest will increase. I am the LORD your God.

25But in the fifth year you may eat its fruit. In this way its yield will increase for you; I am the LORD your God.
