You must not follow the practices of the land of Egypt, where you used to live, and you must not follow the practices of the land of Canaan, into which I am bringing you. You must not walk in their customs.

You are to practice My judgments and keep My statutes by walking in them. I am the LORD your God.

Keep My statutes and My judgments, for the man who does these things will live by them. I am the LORD.

You must not have sexual relations with both a woman and her daughter. You are not to marry her son’s daughter or her daughter’s daughter and have sexual relations with her. They are close relatives; it is depraved.

You must not give any of your children to be sacrificed to Molech, for you must not profane the name of your God. I am the LORD.

You must not lie with a man as with a woman; that is an abomination.

Even the land has become defiled, so I am punishing it for its sin, and the land will vomit out its inhabitants.

But you are to keep My statutes and ordinances, and you must not commit any of these abominations—neither your native-born nor the foreigner who lives among you.

For the men who were in the land before you committed all these abominations, and the land has become defiled.

So if you defile the land, it will vomit you out as it spewed out the nations before you.

You must keep My charge not to practice any of the abominable customs that were practiced before you, so that you do not defile yourselves by them. I am the LORD your God.”

Each of you must respect his mother and father, and you must keep My Sabbaths. I am the LORD your God.

Whoever eats it will bear his iniquity, for he has profaned what is holy to the LORD. That person must be cut off from his people.

When you reap the harvest of your land, you are not to reap to the very edges of your field or gather the gleanings of your harvest.

You must not strip your vineyard bare or gather its fallen grapes. Leave them for the poor and the foreigner. I am the LORD your God.

You must not swear falsely by My name and so profane the name of your God. I am the LORD.

You must not defraud your neighbor or rob him. You must not withhold until morning the wages due a hired hand.

You must not harbor hatred against your brother in your heart. Directly rebuke your neighbor, so that you will not incur guilt on account of him.

Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge against any of your people, but love your neighbor as yourself. I am the LORD.

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.

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.

The man, however, must bring a ram to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting as his guilt offering to the LORD.

When you enter the land and plant any kind of tree for food, you shall regard the fruit as forbidden. For three years it will be forbidden to you and must not be eaten.

But in the fifth year you may eat its fruit; thus your harvest will be increased. I am the LORD your God.

You must not cut off the hair at the sides of your head or clip off the edges of your beard.

You must not defile your daughter by making her a prostitute, or the land will be prostituted and filled with depravity.

You must keep My Sabbaths and have reverence for My sanctuary. I am the LORD.

When a foreigner resides with you in your land, you must not oppress him.

You shall maintain honest scales and weights, an honest ephah, and an honest hin. I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt.

You must keep all My statutes and all My ordinances and follow them. I am the LORD.”

And I will set My face against that man and cut him off from his people, because by giving his offspring to Molech, he has defiled My sanctuary and profaned My holy name.

And if the people of the land ever hide their eyes and fail to put to death the man who gives one of his children to Molech,

…then I will set My face against that man and his family and cut off from among their people both him and all who follow him in prostituting themselves with Molech.

Whoever turns to mediums or spiritists to prostitute himself with them, I will also set My face against that person and cut him off from his people.
