1 The LORD said to Moses,
1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
2 Say to the whole community of the Israelites: You must be holy, because I, the LORD your God, am holy.
2 “Speak to all the congregation of the people of Israel and say to them, You shall be holy, for I the Lord your God am holy.
3 Each of you must respect your mother and father, and you must keep my sabbaths; I am the LORD your God.
3 Every one of you shall revere his mother and his father, and you shall keep my Sabbaths: I am the Lord your God.
4 Do not turn to idols or make gods of cast metal for yourselves; I am the LORD your God.

5 When you sacrifice a communal sacrifice of well-being to the LORD, offer it so that it will be accepted on your account.
5 “When you offer a sacrifice of peace offerings to the Lord, you shall offer it so that you may be accepted.
6 It must be eaten on the day of your sacrifice or the following day; whatever is left over on the third day must be burned with fire.
6 It shall be eaten the same day you offer it or on the day after, and anything left over until the third day shall be burned up with fire.
7 If any of it is eaten on the third day, it is foul; it will not be accepted.
7 If it is eaten at all on the third day, it is tainted; it will not be accepted,
8 Anyone who eats it will be liable to punishment, because they defiled what is holy to the LORD. That person will be cut off from their people.
8 and everyone who eats it shall bear his iniquity, because he has profaned what is holy to the Lord, and that person shall be cut off from his people.
9 When you harvest your land's produce, you must not harvest all the way to the edge of your field; and don't gather up every remaining bit of your harvest.
9 “When you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not reap your field right up to its edge, neither shall you gather the gleanings after your harvest.
10 Also do not pick your vineyard clean or gather up all the grapes that have fallen there. Leave these items for the poor and the immigrant; I am the LORD your God.
10 And you shall not strip your vineyard bare, neither shall you gather the fallen grapes of your vineyard. You shall leave them for the poor and for the sojourner: I am the Lord your God.
11 You must not steal nor deceive nor lie to each other.
11 “You shall not steal; you shall not deal falsely; you shall not lie to one another.

16 Do not go around slandering your people. Do not stand by while your neighbor's blood is shed; I am the LORD.

19 “You shall keep my statutes. You shall not let your cattle breed with a different kind. You shall not sow your field with two kinds of seed, nor shall you wear a garment of cloth made of two kinds of material.
20 If a man has sexual relations with a woman who is a slave engaged to another man, who hasn't yet been released or given her freedom, there must be a punishment. But they will not be put to death because she had not yet been freed.
20 “If a man lies sexually with a woman who is a slave, assigned to another man and not yet ransomed or given her freedom, a distinction shall be made. They shall not be put to death, because she was not free;
21 The man must bring as his compensation to the LORD at the meeting tent's entrance a ram for a compensation offering.
21 but he shall bring his compensation to the Lord, to the entrance of the tent of meeting, a ram for a guilt offering.
22 The priest will use the ram for the compensation offering to make reconciliation for him before the LORD on account of the sin he committed. Then he will be forgiven of the sin that he committed.
22 And the priest shall make atonement for him with the ram of the guilt offering before the Lord for his sin that he has committed, and he shall be forgiven for the sin that he has committed.
23 When you enter the land and plant any fruit tree, you must consider its fruit off-limits. For three years it will be off-limits to you; it must not be eaten.

24 In the fourth year, all of the tree's fruit will be holy, a celebration for the LORD.
24 And in the fourth year all its fruit shall be holy, an offering of praise to the Lord.
