Levítico 19:23-33

23 Y cuando hubiereis entrado en la tierra, y plantareis todo árbol de comer, circuncidaréis el prepucio de su fruto; tres años os será incircunciso; su fruto no se comerá

24 Y al cuarto año todo su fruto será santidad de alegría al SEÑOR

25 Mas al quinto año comeréis el fruto de él, para que os haga crecer su fruto. YO SOY el SEÑOR vuestro Dios

26 No comeréis cosa alguna con sangre. No seréis agoreros, ni adivinaréis

27 No cortaréis en redondo las extremidades de vuestras cabezas, ni dañaréis la punta de tu barba

28 Y no haréis rasguños en vuestra carne por un muerto, ni imprimiréis en vosotros marca alguna. Yo soy el SEÑOR

29 No contaminarás tu hija haciéndola fornicar; para que no se prostituya la tierra, y se llene de maldad

30 Mis sábados guardaréis, y mi santuario tendréis en reverencia. Yo soy el SEÑOR

31 No os volváis a los espiritistas ni a los adivinos; no los consultéis ensuciándoos con ellos. YO SOY vuestro Dios

32 Delante de las canas te levantarás, y honrarás el rostro del anciano, y de tu Dios tendrás temor. Yo soy el SEÑOR

33 Y cuando el extranjero morare contigo en vuestra tierra, no le oprimiréis
