1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 2 Speak unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, and say unto them, Ye shall be holy: for I the LORD your God am holy.
3 ¶ Ye shall fear every man his mother, and his father, and keep my sabbaths: I am the LORD your God.
4 ¶ Turn ye not unto idols, nor make to yourselves molten gods: I am the LORD your God.
5 ¶ And if ye offer a sacrifice of peace offerings unto the LORD, ye shall offer it at your own will. 6 It shall be eaten the same day ye offer it, and on the morrow: and if ought remain until the third day, it shall be burnt in the fire. 7 And if it be eaten at all on the third day, it is abominable; it shall not be accepted. 8 Therefore every one that eateth it shall bear his iniquity, because he hath profaned the hallowed thing of the LORD: and that soul shall be cut off from among his people.
9 ¶ And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not wholly reap the corners of thy field, neither shalt thou gather the gleanings of thy harvest. 10 And thou shalt not glean thy vineyard, neither shalt thou gather every grape of thy vineyard; thou shalt leave them for the poor and stranger: I am the LORD your God.
11 ¶ Ye shall not steal, neither deal falsely, neither lie one to another.
12 ¶ And ye shall not swear by my name falsely, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I am the LORD.
13 ¶ Thou shalt not defraud thy neighbour, neither rob him: the wages of him that is hired shall not abide with thee all night until the morning.
14 ¶ Thou shalt not curse the deaf, nor put a stumblingblock before the blind, but shalt fear thy God: I am the LORD.
15 ¶ Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment: thou shalt not respect the person of the poor, nor honour the person of the mighty: but in righteousness shalt thou judge thy neighbour.
16 ¶ Thou shalt not go up and down as a talebearer among thy people: neither shalt thou stand against the blood of thy neighbour: I am the LORD.
17 ¶ Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thine heart: thou shalt in any wise rebuke thy neighbour, and not suffer sin upon him.
18 ¶ Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: I am the LORD.
19 ¶ Ye shall keep my statutes. Thou shalt not let thy cattle gender with a diverse kind: thou shalt not sow thy field with mingled seed: neither shall a garment mingled of linen and woollen come upon thee.
20 ¶ And whosoever lieth carnally with a woman, that is a bondmaid, betrothed to an husband, and not at all redeemed, nor freedom given her; she shall be scourged; they shall not be put to death, because she was not free. 21 And he shall bring his trespass offering unto the LORD, unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, even a ram for a trespass offering. 22 And the priest shall make an atonement for him with the ram of the trespass offering before the LORD for his sin which he hath done: and the sin which he hath done shall be forgiven him.
23 ¶ And when ye shall come into the land, and shall have planted all manner of trees for food, then ye shall count the fruit thereof as uncircumcised: three years shall it be as uncircumcised unto you: it shall not be eaten of. 24 But in the fourth year all the fruit thereof shall be holy to praise the LORD withal . 25 And in the fifth year shall ye eat of the fruit thereof, that it may yield unto you the increase thereof: I am the LORD your God.
26 ¶ Ye shall not eat any thing with the blood: neither shall ye use enchantment, nor observe times. 27 Ye shall not round the corners of your heads, neither shalt thou mar the corners of thy beard. 28 Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the LORD.
29 ¶ Do not prostitute thy daughter, to cause her to be a whore; lest the land fall to whoredom, and the land become full of wickedness.
30 ¶ Ye shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary: I am the LORD.
31 ¶ Regard not them that have familiar spirits, neither seek after wizards, to be defiled by them: I am the LORD your God.
32 ¶ Thou shalt rise up before the hoary head, and honour the face of the old man, and fear thy God: I am the LORD.
33 ¶ And if a stranger sojourn with thee in your land, ye shall not vex him. 34 But the stranger that dwelleth with you shall be unto you as one born among you, and thou shalt love him as thyself; for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.
35 ¶ Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment, in meteyard, in weight, or in measure. 36 Just balances, just weights, a just ephah, and a just hin, shall ye have: I am the LORD your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt. 37 Therefore shall ye observe all my statutes, and all my judgments, and do them: I am the LORD.
Rituāls un morāls svētums
1 Un Kungs sacīja Mozum: 2 “Runā uz visu Israēla dēlu sapulci un saki tiem: esiet svēti, jo es esmu svēts – Kungs, jūsu Dievs! 3 Ikviens lai bīstas savu māti un tēvu un tur manus sabatus – es esmu Kungs, jūsu Dievs! 4 Nevērsieties pie dievekļiem un nelejiet sev dievus – es esmu Kungs, jūsu Dievs!
5 Kad jūs kaujat miera upuri Kungam, upurējiet to tā, lai jūs būtu viņam tīkami. 6 Lai to ēd tajā dienā, kad jūs to kaujat, vai rīt, bet to, kas atliek līdz parītam, lai sadedzina ugunī! 7 Ja kaut ko no tā ēdīs trešajā dienā, tas būs nešķīsts un netiks pieņemts. 8 Kas tādu ēdīs, tas nesīs vainu, jo būs sagānījis Kunga svētumu – tāds tiks nošķirts no savas tautas.
9 Kad jūs novācat savā zemē ražu, laukmalu atstājiet nenovāktu. Nokritušās vārpas tu nelasi! 10 Savu vīnadārzu nenovāc pavisam un kritušās vīnogas savā vīnadārzā neuzlasi, atstāj tās nabagam vai svešiniekam – es esmu Kungs, jūsu Dievs!
11 Nezodziet un nekrāpiet, un nemelojiet saviem tuvākajiem! 12 Nezvēriet manā vārdā melīgi un nesagāniet sava Dieva vārdu – es esmu Kungs! 13 Neapspied un neaplaupi savu tuvāko! Lai algādža alga nepaliek pie tevis līdz rītam. 14 Nelādi kurlo un neliec priekšā kāju aklajam, bīsties Dieva – es esmu Kungs!
15 Nedari netaisnību tiesā – neiztopi nabagam, nedod priekšroku dižajam, bet tiesā savus tuvākos taisnīgi! 16 Nestaigā savā tautā baumodams, nealksti sava tuvākā asiņu – es esmu Kungs! 17 Nenīsti sirdī savu brāli, pamāci savu tuvāko, lai tu neesi līdzvainīgs. 18 Neatriebies un nedusmo uz savas tautas ļaudīm, mīli savu tuvāko kā sevi pašu – es esmu Kungs!
19 Turiet manus likumus – nekrustojiet divus dažādus lopus, neapsējiet savus laukus ar dažādu sēklu, nevalkājiet divējas drānas, jaukti noaustas.
20 Ja vīrs pārguļ ar sievu, izšļākdams sēklu, un viņa ir verdzene, kas apsolīta citam par sievu, bet vēl nav izpirkta un tai nav dota brīvība, lai soda, bet lai tos nenonāvē, jo viņa nebija brīva. 21 Lai viņš nes vainas upuri Kungam pie Saiešanas telts durvīm – vainas upura aunu. 22 Lai priesteris Kunga priekšā ar vainas upura aunu veic izlīgumu par viņa grēku, ar ko viņš grēkojis, un viņam tiks piedots grēks, ar ko viņš grēkojis.
23 Kad jūs nonāksiet tajā zemē un stādīsiet augļu kokus, tie būs itin kā neapgraizīti, un to augļi lai jums ir neapgraizīti trīs gadus, tie jums ir neēdami! 24 Ceturtajā gadā visi to augļi ir svēti, lai tie ir slavas upuris Kungam! 25 Un piektajā gadā jūs varat ēst to augļus, lai tie jums papilnam! – es esmu Kungs, jūsu Dievs!
26 Neēdiet neko, kam klāt asinis. Nepareģojiet un neburiet! 27 Neapgrieziet sev matus pie deniņiem un neapcērpiet malu savām bārdām. 28 Negrieziet sev miesā brūces mirušo dēļ un neskrāpējiet sev zīmējumus ādā – es esmu Kungs! 29 Nesagāni savu meitu, padarīdams par mauku, lai nekļūst maucīga zeme, lai zeme nepiepildās ar izvirtību. 30 Manus sabatus turiet un manu svētvietu bijājiet – es esmu Kungs! 31 Nevērsieties pie garu izsaucējiem un nemeklējiet zintniekus, tie jūs padara nešķīstus! – es esmu Kungs, jūsu Dievs! 32 Sirmas galvas priekšā piecelies, godā vecu un bīsties Dieva – es esmu Kungs!
33 Kad svešinieks piemīt pie tevis tavā zemē, nedari viņam pāri. 34 Lai svešinieks, kas pie jums apmeties, jums ir kā savējais, un mīli viņu kā sevi pašu, jo svešinieki jūs bijāt Ēģiptes zemē – es esmu Kungs, jūsu Dievs!
35 Nekrāpieties nedz pie tiesas, nedz mēros, svarā un skaitā! 36 Lai jums ir pareizi svari, pareizi atsvari, pareizi beramie un pareizi lejamie mēri – es esmu Kungs, jūsu Dievs, kas jūs izveda no Ēģiptes zemes. 37 Turiet visus manus likumus un pildiet visas manas tiesas – es esmu Kungs!”
