Leviticus 19:19-26 New English Translation (NET)

19. You must keep my statutes. You must not allow two different kinds of your animals to breed, you must not sow your field with two different kinds of seed, and you must not wear a garment made of two different kinds of fabric.

20. “‘When a man has sexual intercourse with a woman, although she is a slave woman designated for another man and she has not yet been ransomed, or freedom has not been granted to her, there will be an obligation to pay compensation. They must not be put to death, because she was not free.

21. He must bring his guilt offering to the Lord at the entrance of the Meeting Tent, a guilt offering ram,

22. and the priest is to make atonement for him with the ram of the guilt offering before the Lord for his sin that he has committed, and he will be forgiven of his sin that he has committed.

23. “‘When you enter the land and plant any fruit tree, you must consider its fruit to be forbidden. Three years it will be forbidden to you; it must not be eaten.

24. In the fourth year all its fruit will be holy, praise offerings to the Lord.

25. Then in the fifth year you may eat its fruit to add its produce to your harvest. I am the Lord your God.

26. “‘You must not eat anything with the blood still in it. You must not practice either divination or soothsaying.
