Leviticus · Chapter 18

And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) spake unto Mosheh, saying,
Speak unto the children of Yisra'el, and say unto them, I am 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) your Elohim.
After the doings of the land of Mitsrayim, wherein ye dwelt, shall ye not do: and after the doings of the land of Canaan, whither I bring you, shall ye not do: neither shall ye walk in their ordinances.
Ye shall do my judgments, and keep mine ordinances, to walk therein: I am 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) your Elohim.
Ye shall therefore keep my statutes, and my judgments: which if a man do, he shall live in them: I am 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH).
None of you shall approach to any that is near of kin to him, to uncover their nakedness: I am 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH).
The nakedness of thy father, or the nakedness of thy mother, shalt thou not uncover: she is thy mother; thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.
The nakedness of thy father’s wife shalt thou not uncover: it is thy father’s nakedness.
The nakedness of thy sister, the daughter of thy father, or daughter of thy mother, whether she be born at home, or born abroad, even their nakedness thou shalt not uncover.
The nakedness of thy son’s daughter, or of thy daughter’s daughter, even their nakedness thou shalt not uncover: for theirs is thine own nakedness.
The nakedness of thy father’s wife’s daughter, begotten of thy father, she is thy sister, thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.
Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father’s sister: she is thy father’s near kinswoman.
Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy mother’s sister: for she is thy mother’s near kinswoman.
Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father’s brother, thou shalt not approach to his wife: she is thine aunt.
Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy daughter in torah: she is thy son’s wife; thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.
Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy brother’s wife: it is thy brother’s nakedness.
Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of a woman and her daughter, neither shalt thou take her son’s daughter, or her daughter’s daughter, to uncover her nakedness; for they are her near kinswomen: it is wickedness.
Neither shalt thou take a wife to her sister, to vex her, to uncover her nakedness, beside the other in her life time.
Also thou shalt not approach unto a woman to uncover her nakedness, as long as she is put apart for her uncleanness.
Moreover thou shalt not lie carnally with thy neighbour’s wife, to defile thyself with her.
And thou shalt not let any of thy seed pass through the fire to Molech, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy Elohim: I am 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH).
Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.
Neither shalt thou lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith: neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto: it is confusion.
Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the nations are defiled which I cast out before you:
And the land is defiled: therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof upon it, and the land itself vomiteth out her inhabitants.
Ye shall therefore keep my statutes and my judgments, and shall not commit any of these abominations; neither any of your own nation, nor any stranger that sojourneth among you:
(For all these abominations have the men of the land done, which were before you, and the land is defiled;)
That the land spue not you out also, when ye defile it, as it spued out the nations that were before you.
For whosoever shall commit any of these abominations, even the souls that commit them shall be cut off from among their people.
Therefore shall ye keep mine ordinance, that ye commit not any one of these abominable customs, which were committed before you, and that ye defile not yourselves therein: I am 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) your Elohim.

Vayikra19

Leviticus · Chapter 19

And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) spake unto Mosheh, saying,
Speak unto all the congregation of the children of Yisra'el, and say unto them, You shall be holy: for I 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) your Elohim am holy.
You shall revere every man his mother, and his father, and keep my sabbaths: I am 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) your Elohim.
You shall not turn to idols, nor make to yourselves molten gods: I am 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) your Elohim.
And if ye offer a sacrifice of peace offerings unto 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH), You shall offer.
It shall be eaten the same day you offer it, and the next day: if any remains until the third day, it must be dispossed of by burning it in the fire.
If it is eaten at all on the third day, it is an abomination; it shall not be accepted.
Therefore everyone who eats it shall bear his iniquity, because he has profaned the set-apart thing of YHWH: and that person shall be cut off from among his people.
When you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not wholly reap the corners of your field, neither shall you gather the gleanings of your harvest.
And you shall not glean your vineyard, neither shall you gather every grape of your vineyard; you shall leave them for the poor and stranger: I am YHWH your Elohim.
You shall not steal, neither deal falsely, neither lie one to another.
And you shall not swear by my name falsely, neither shall you profane the name of your Elohim: I am YHWH.
You shall not defraud your neighbor, neither rob him: the wages of him who is hired shall not remain with you all night until the morning.
You shall not curse the deaf, nor put a stumbling block before the blind, but shall revere your Elohim: I am YHWH.
You shall do no unrighteousness in judgment: you shall not respect the person of the poor, nor honor the person of the mighty, but in righteousness you shall judge your neighbor.
You shall not go up and down as a talebearer among your people: neither shall you stand against the blood of your neighbor: I am YHWH.
You shall not hate your brother in your heart: you shall surely rebuke your neighbor, and not bear sin because of him.
You shall not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of your people, but you shall love your neighbor as yourself: I am YHWH.
You shall keep my statutes. You shall not let your cattle breed with a different kind: you shall not sow your field with mixed seed: neither shall a garment mixed of linen and woolen come upon you.
Whoever lies carnally with a woman, who is a slave, betrothed to a 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 to YHWH, to the door of the tent of meeting, even a ram for a trespass offering.
And the kohen shall make kapparah for him with the ram of the trespass offering before YHWH for his sin which he has done: and the sin which he has done shall be forgiven him.
And when you come into the land, and shall have planted all manner of trees for food, then you shall count the fruit thereof as uncircumcised: three years shall it be as uncircumcised to you: it shall not be eaten.
But in the fourth year all the fruit thereof shall be set-apart to praise YHWH withal.
And in the fifth year you shall eat of the fruit thereof, that it may yield to you the increase thereof: I am YHWH your Elohim.
You shall not eat anything with the blood: neither shall you use enchantment, nor observe times.
You shall not round the corners of your heads, neither shall you mar the corners of your beard.
You shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am YHWH.
Do not prostitute your daughter, to cause her to be a harlot; lest the land fall to harlotry, and the land become full of wickedness.
You shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary: I am YHWH.
Do not regard those who have familiar spirits, neither seek after wizards, to be defiled by them: I am YHWH your Elohim.
You shall rise up before the gray head, and honor the face of the old man, and revere your Elohim: I am YHWH.
And if a stranger sojourns with you in your land, you shall not vex him.
But the stranger who dwells with you shall be to you as one born among you, and you shall love him as yourself; for you were strangers in the land of Mitsrayim: I am YHWH your Elohim.
You shall do no unrighteousness in judgment, in measurement, in weight, or in measure.
Just balances, just weights, a just ephah, and a just hin, you shall have: I am YHWH your Elohim, who brought you out of the land of Mitsrayim.
Therefore you shall observe all my statutes, and all my judgments, and do them: I am YHWH.

Vayikra20

Leviticus · Chapter 20

And YHWH spoke to Mosheh, saying,
Again, you shall say to the children of Yisra'el, Whoever he be of the children of Yisra'el, or of the strangers who sojourn in Yisra'el, who gives any of his seed to Molech; he shall surely be put to death: the people of the land shall stone him with stones.
And I will set my face against that man, and will cut him off from among his people; because he has given of his seed to Molech, to defile my sanctuary, and to profane my set-apart name.
And if the people of the land do in any way hide their eyes from the man, when he gives of his seed to Molech, and do not kill him:
Then I will set my face against that man, and against his family, and will cut him off, and all who go whoring after him, to commit harlotry with Molech, from among their people.
And the person who turns after those who have familiar spirits, and after wizards, to go whoring after them, I will set my face against that person, and will cut him off from among his people.
Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be set-apart: for I am YHWH your Elohim.
And you shall keep my statutes, and do them: I am YHWH who sanctifies you.
For everyone who curses his father or his mother shall surely be put to death: he has cursed his father or his mother; his blood shall be upon him.
And the man who commits adultery with another man's wife, even he who commits adultery with his neighbor's wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death.
And the man who lies with his father's wife has uncovered his father's nakedness: both of them shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.
And if a man lies with his daughter-in-torah, both of them shall surely be put to death: they have wrought confusion; their blood shall be upon them.
If a man also lies with mankind, as he lies with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.
And if a man takes a wife and her mother, it is wickedness: they shall be burnt with fire, both he and they; that there be no wickedness among you.
And if a man lies with a beast, he shall surely be put to death: and you shall slay the beast.
And if a woman approaches any beast, and lies down with it, you shall kill the woman, and the beast: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.
And if a man takes his sister, his father's daughter, or his mother's daughter, and sees her nakedness, and she sees his nakedness; it is a wicked thing; and they shall be cut off in the sight of their people: he has uncovered his sister's nakedness; he shall bear his iniquity.
And if a man lies with a woman having her sickness, and shall uncover her nakedness; he has discovered her fountain, and she has uncovered the fountain of her blood: and both of them shall be cut off from among their people.
And you shall not uncover the nakedness of your mother's sister, nor of your father's sister: for he uncovers his near kin: they shall bear their iniquity.
And if a man lies with his uncle's wife, he has uncovered his uncle's nakedness: they shall bear their sin; they shall die childless.
And if a man takes his brother's wife, it is an unclean thing: he has uncovered his brother's nakedness; they shall be childless.
You shall therefore keep all my statutes, and all my judgments, and do them: that the land, where I bring you to dwell in, does not vomit you out.
And you shall not walk in the manners of the nation, which I cast out before you: for they committed all these things, and therefore I abhorred them.
But I have said to you, You shall inherit their land, and I will give it to you to possess it, a land that flows with milk and honey: I am YHWH your Elohim, who have separated you from other people.
You shall therefore put a difference between clean beasts and unclean, and between unclean fowls and clean: and you shall not make yourselves abominable by beast, or by fowl, or by any manner of living thing that creeps on the ground, which I have separated from you as unclean.
And you shall be set-apart to me: for I YHWH am set-apart, and have severed you from other people, that you should be mine.
A man or woman who has a familiar spirit, or who is a wizard, shall surely be put to death: they shall stone them with stones: their blood shall be upon them.
