Leviticus 19

vayedabber Adonai el-mosheh lemor

GOD spoke to Moses, saying:

dabber el-kol-adat bene-yisra'el ve'amarta alehem qedoshim tihyu ki qadosh ani Adonai elohekhem

Speak to the whole Israelite community and say to them: You shall be holy, for I, the ETERNAL your God, am holy.

You shall each revere your mother and your father, and keep My sabbaths: I the ETERNAL am your God.

Do not turn to idols or make molten gods for yourselves: I the ETERNAL am your God.

vekhi tizbekhu zevakh shelamim la-Adonai lirtsonekhem tizbakhuhu

When you sacrifice an offering of well-being to GOD, sacrifice it so that it may be accepted in your behalf.

beyom zivkhakhem ye'akhel umimmokhorat vehannotar ad-yom hashelishi ba'esh yissaref

It shall be eaten on the day you sacrifice it, or on the day after; but what is left by the third day must be consumed in fire.

ve'im he'akhol ye'akhel bayyom hashelishi piggul hu lo yeratseh

If it should be eaten on the third day, it is an offensive thing, it will not be acceptable.

ve'okhelayw avono yissa ki-et-qodesh Adonai khillel venikhretah hannefesh hahiv me'ammeha

And one who eats of it shall bear the guilt for having profaned what is sacred to GOD; that person shall be cut off from kin.

When you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not reap all the way to the edges of your field, or gather the gleanings of your harvest.

vekharmekha lo te'olel uferet karmekha lo telaqqet le'ani velagger ta'azov otam ani Adonai elohekhem

ve'ish ki-yishkav et-isha shikhvat-zera vehiv shifkhah nekherefet le'ish vehofdeh lo nifdatah o khufshah lo nittan-lah biqqoret tihyeh lo yumetu ki-lo khuppashah

If a man has carnal relations with a woman who is a slave and has been designated for another man, but has not been redeemed or given her freedom, there shall be an indemnity; they shall not, however, be put to death, since she has not been freed.

vehevi et-ashamo la-Adonai el-petakh ohel mo'ed el asham

But he must bring to the entrance of the Tent of Meeting, as his reparation offering to GOD, a ram of reparation offering.

vekhipper alayw hakkohen be'el ha'asham lifne Adonai al-khattato asher khata venislakh lo mekhattato asher khata

With the ram of reparation offering the priest shall make expiation for him before GOD for the sin that he committed; and the sin that he committed will be forgiven him.

In the fourth year all its fruit shall be set aside for jubilation before GOD;

uvashanah hakhamishit tokhelu et-piryo lehosif lakhem tevu'ato ani Adonai elohekhem

and only in the fifth year may you use its fruit—that its yield to you may be increased: I the ETERNAL am your God.
