Leviticus 19:1–37

¹ Then the LORD said to Moses, ² “Speak to the whole congregation of Israel and tell them: Be holy because I, the LORD your God, am holy. ³ Each of you must respect his mother and father, and you must keep My Sabbaths. I am the LORD your God. ⁴ Do not turn to idols or make for yourselves molten gods. I am the LORD your God. ⁵ When you sacrifice a peace offering to the LORD, you shall offer it for your acceptance. ⁶ It shall be eaten on the day you sacrifice it, or on the next day; but what remains on the third day must be burned up. ⁷ If any of it is eaten on the third day, it is tainted and will not be accepted. ⁸ Whoever eats it will bear his iniquity, for he has profaned what is holy to the LORD.

I am the LORD. ¹⁹ You are to keep My statutes. You shall not crossbreed two different kinds of livestock; you shall not sow your fields with two kinds of seed; and you shall not wear clothing made of two kinds of material. ²⁰ If a man lies carnally with a slave girl promised to another man but who has not been redeemed or given her freedom, there must be due punishment. But they are not to be put to death, because she had not been freed. ²¹ The man, however, must bring a ram to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting as his guilt offering to the LORD. ²² The priest shall 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 the sin he has committed. ²³ When you…
