Leviticus 19:15-31 Tree Of Life Version (TLV)

15. “You are to do no injustice in judgment. You are not to be partial toward the poor nor show favoritism toward the great, but you are to judge your neighbor with fairness.

16. “You are not to go up and down as a talebearer among your people. You are not to endanger the life of your neighbor. I am Adonai.

17. “You are not to hate your brother in your heart. Instead, you are to firmly rebuke your neighbor, and not bear sin because of him.

18. You are not to take vengeance, nor bear any grudge against the children of your people, but love your neighbor as yourself. I am Adonai.

19. “You must keep My statutes. You are not to crossbreed different kinds of animals. You are not to sow your field with two kinds of seed, nor are you to wear a garment woven of two kinds of material.

20. “If a man lies sexually with a woman who is a slave girl, pledged to be married to another man, but not ransomed or given her freedom, they are both to be punished. But they are not to be put to death, because she was not free.

21. He is to bring his trespass ­offering to Adonai, to the entrance of the Tent of Meeting—a ram for a guilt offering.

22. The kohen is to make atonement for him with the ram of the trespass offering before Adonai for his sin that he committed, and the sin that he committed will be forgiven him.

23. “When you come into the land and have planted all kinds of trees for food, you are to consider their fruit as forbidden. Three years it will be forbidden to you. It is not to be eaten.

24. Then in the fourth year all its fruit will be holy, for giving praise to Adonai.

25. In the fifth year you may eat its fruit. So it will yield its increase to you. I am Adonai your God.

26. “You are not to eat any meat with the blood still in it, nor are you to use enchantments, or practice sorcery.

27. “You are not to round off the hair on the sides of your heads, nor are you to mar the edge of your beard.

28. You are not to make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead or make any tattoo marks upon yourself. I am Adonai.

29. “Do not defile your daughter, to make her a prostitute, so that the land does not fall into prostitution, and become full of wickedness.

30. “You are to keep My Shabbatot, and reverence My Sanctuary. I am Adonai.

31. “Do not turn to those who are mediums or to soothsayers. Do not seek them out to be defiled by them. I am Adonai your God.
