Idolatry Forbidden
1 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 2 “Speak to the entire congregation of the Israelites and tell them, ‘You shall be holy, for I, the Lord your God am holy.
3 Each one of you shall have reverence for his mother and his father. You shall keep my Sabbaths. I am the Lord your God.
4 Do not turn to idols, nor make gods of cast metal for yourselves. I am the Lord your God.
5 And if you offer a sacrifice of peace offerings to the Lord, you shall offer it at your own will. 6 It shall be eaten the same day you offer it and on the next day. If anything remains until the third day, it shall be burned with fire. 7 If it is eaten at all on the third day, it is an abomination. It will not be accepted, 8 but everyone who eats it shall bear his iniquity, because he has profaned the holy thing of the Lord, and that person shall be cut off from his people.
Love Your Neighbor
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. 10 You shall not glean your vineyard, nor shall you gather the fallen grapes of your vineyard. You shall leave them for the poor and for the foreigner. I am the Lord your God.
11 You shall not steal, nor deal falsely, nor lie to one another.
12 You shall not swear by my name falsely and profane the name of your God. I am the Lord.
13 You shall not defraud your neighbor, nor rob him.
The wages of a hired servant shall not remain with you all night until the morning.
14 You shall not curse the deaf, nor put a stumbling block before the blind, but you shall fear your God. I am the Lord.
15 You shall not be unjust in judgment. You shall not be partial to the poor, nor show favoritism to the great, but you shall judge your neighbor in righteousness.
16 You shall not go around slandering among your people.
You shall not endanger the life of your neighbor. I am the Lord.
17 You shall not hate your brother in your heart. You shall rebuke your neighbor forthrightly, so you will not share in his guilt.
18 You shall not take vengeance, nor bear any grudge against the children of your people, but you shall love your neighbor as yourself. I am the Lord.
Keep My Decrees
19 You shall keep my statutes.
You shall not cross-breed different kinds of animals.
You shall not sow your field with two kinds of seed.
Do not wear a garment made of interwoven linen and wool.
20 If a man has sexual relations with a woman who is a slave girl, pledged to be married to another man and not ransomed or given her freedom, they shall be punished. They shall not be put to death, because she was not free. 21 He shall bring a ram as a trespass offering to the Lord, to the door of the Tent of Meeting. 22 The 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.
23 When you come into the land and have planted all kinds of trees for food, then you shall count their fruit as forbidden. For three years it shall be forbidden to you. It shall not be eaten. 24 But in the fourth year all its fruit shall be holy, for giving praise to the Lord. 25 In the fifth year you shall eat its fruit. This is so that it may yield the increase to you. I am the Lord your God.
26 You shall not eat any meat with the blood still in it. You shall not use enchantments, nor practice sorcery.

33 If a stranger lives as a foreigner with you in your land, you shall not mistreat him. 34 The stranger who lives as a foreigner with you shall be to you as the native-born among you, and you shall love him as yourself, for you lived as foreigners in the land of Egypt. I am the Lord your God.
35 You shall not be unrighteousness in judgment, in measuring length, weight, or quantity. 36 You shall have just balances, just weights: just dry measurements and just liquid measurements. I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt.
37 You shall observe all my statutes and all my ordinances and do them. I am the Lord.”
