Leviticus 19:4-17 World Messianic Bible British Edition (WMBBE)

4. “‘Don’t turn to idols, nor make molten gods for yourselves. I am the Lord your God.

5. “‘When you offer a sacrifice of peace offerings to the Lord, you shall offer it so that you may be accepted.

6. It shall be eaten the same day you offer it, and on the next day. If anything remains until the third day, it shall be burnt with fire.

7. If it is eaten at all on the third day, it is an abomination. It will not be accepted;

8. but everyone who eats it shall bear his iniquity, because he has profaned the holy thing of the Lord, and that soul shall be cut off from his people.

9. “‘When you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not wholly reap the corners of your field, neither shall you gather the gleanings of your harvest.

10. You shall not glean your vineyard, neither shall you gather the fallen grapes of your vineyard. You shall leave them for the poor and for the foreigner. I am the Lord your God.

11. “‘You shall not steal.“‘You shall not lie.“‘You shall not deceive one another.

12. “‘You shall not swear by my name falsely, and profane the name of your God. I am the Lord.

13. “‘You shall not oppress your neighbour, nor rob him.“‘The wages of a hired servant shall not remain with you all night until the morning.

14. “‘You shall not curse the deaf, nor put a stumbling block before the blind; but you shall fear your God. I am the Lord.

15. “‘You shall do no injustice in judgement. You shall not be partial to the poor, nor show favouritism to the great; but you shall judge your neighbour in righteousness.

16. “‘You shall not go around as a slanderer amongst your people.“‘You shall not endanger the life of your neighbour. I am the Lord.

17. “‘You shall not hate your brother in your heart. You shall surely rebuke your neighbour, and not bear sin because of him.
