Leviticus 19:24-34

24 quarto anno omnis fructus eorum sanctificabitur laudabilis Domino
25 quinto autem anno comedetis fructus congregantes poma quae proferunt ego Dominus Deus vester
26 non comedetis cum sanguine non augurabimini nec observabitis somnia
27 neque in rotundum adtondebitis comam nec radatis barbam
28 et super mortuo non incidetis carnem vestram neque figuras aliquas et stigmata facietis vobis ego Dominus
29 ne prostituas filiam tuam et contaminetur terra et impleatur piaculo
30 sabbata mea custodite et sanctuarium meum metuite ego Dominus
31 ne declinetis ad magos nec ab ariolis aliquid sciscitemini ut polluamini per eos ego Dominus Deus vester
32 coram cano capite consurge et honora personam senis et time Deum tuum ego sum Dominus
33 si habitaverit advena in terra vestra et moratus fuerit inter vos ne exprobretis ei
34 sed sit inter vos quasi indigena et diligetis eum quasi vosmet ipsos fuistis enim et vos advenae in terra Aegypti ego Dominus Deus vester
