Leviticus 19:21-32 World Messianic Bible British Edition (WMBBE)

21. He shall bring his trespass offering to the Lord, to the door of the Tent of Meeting, even a ram for a trespass offering.

22. The priest shall make atonement for him with the ram of the trespass offering before the Lord for his sin which he has committed; and the sin which he has committed shall be forgiven him.

23. “‘When you come into the land, and have planted all kinds of trees for food, then you shall count their fruit as forbidden. For three years it shall be forbidden to you. It shall not be eaten.

24. But in the fourth year all its fruit shall be holy, for giving praise to the Lord.

25. In the fifth year you shall eat its fruit, that it may yield its increase to you. I am the Lord your God.

26. “‘You shall not eat any meat with the blood still in it. You shall not use enchantments, nor practise sorcery.

27. “‘You shall not cut the hair on the sides of your head or clip off the edge of your beard.

28. “‘You shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor tattoo any marks on you. I am the Lord.

29. “‘Don’t profane your daughter, to make her a prostitute; lest the land fall to prostitution, and the land become full of wickedness.

30. “‘You shall keep my Sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary; I am the Lord.

31. “‘Don’t turn to those who are mediums, nor to the wizards. Don’t seek them out, to be defiled by them. I am the Lord your God.

32. “‘You shall rise up before the grey head and honour the face of the elderly, and you shall fear your God. I am the Lord.
