Leviticus 19:6-18 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

6. It must be eaten on the day of your sacrifice and the next day; but the remainder must be burned up in the fire by the third day.

7. And if it is indeed eaten on the third day, it is unclean meat; it shall not be regarded as accepted.

8. And the one who eats it shall bear his guilt, because he has profaned Yahweh’s holiness, and that person shall be cut off from his people.

9. “ ‘And at your reaping the harvest of your land you must not finish reaping the edge of your field, and you must not glean the remnants of your harvest.

10. And you must not glean your vineyard, and you must not gather your vineyard’s fallen grapes; you must leave them behind for the needy and for the alien; I am Yahweh your God.

11. “ ‘You shall not steal, and you shall not deceive, and you shall not lie to one another;

12. and you shall not swear falsely in my name, and so one of you profane the name of your God; I am Yahweh.

13. “ ‘You shall not exploit your neighbor, and you shall not rob him; a hired worker’s wage you shall not withhold overnight until morning.

14. You shall not curse the deaf, and you shall not put a stumbling block before a blind person, but you shall revere your God; I am Yahweh.

15. “ ‘You shall not do injustice in judgment; you shall not show partiality to the powerless; you shall not give preference to the powerful; you shall judge your fellow citizen with justice.

16. You shall not go about with slander among your people; you shall not endanger your neighbor’s life; I am Yahweh.

17. “ ‘You shall not hate your brother in your heart; you shall surely rebuke your fellow citizen, so that you do not incur sin along with him.

18. You shall not seek vengeance, and you shall not harbor a grudge against your fellow citizens; and you shall love your neighbor like yourself; I am Yahweh.
