KEDOSHIM
1And Hashem spoke unto Moshe, saying,
2Speak unto kol Adat Bnei Yisroel, and say unto them, Ye shall be kedoshim (holy ones): for I Hashem Eloheichem am kadosh.
3Ye shall fear every man his em, and his av, and be shomer over My Shabbatot: I am Hashem Eloheichem.
4Turn ye not unto elilim, nor make to yourselves elohei massekhah (cast metal g-ds); I am Hashem Eloheichem.
5And if ye offer a zevach shelamim unto Hashem, ye shall offer it for your acceptance.
6It shall be eaten the same day ye offer it, and on the next day; and what remains until the yom hashelishi, it shall be burned in the eish.
7And if it be eaten at all on the yom hashelishi, it is piggul (unclean sacrificial flesh); it shall not be accepted.
8Therefore every one that eateth it shall bear his avon, because he hath desecrated as chillul the set-apart-as-kodesh thing of Hashem: and that nefesh shall be cut off from among his people.
9And when ye reap the katzir of your land, thou shalt not wholly reap the corners of thy sadeh, neither shalt thou gather the gleanings of thy katzir.
10And thou shalt not glean thy kerem (vineyard), neither shalt thou gather every grape of thy kerem; thou shalt leave them for the oni (poor) and ger (stranger); I am Hashem Eloheichem.
11Ye shall not steal, neither deal falsely, neither speak sheker (falsehood, deception, lie) to another.
12And ye shall not swear by My Shem lasheker (falsely), neither shalt thou commit Chillul ha-shem Eloheicha; I am Hashem.
13Thou shalt not defraud thy re'a (neighbor), neither rob him; the wages of him that is a sakhir (hired man) shall not abide with thee ad boker (until morning).
14Thou shalt not curse the cheresh (deaf), nor put a michshol (stumbling block) before the ivver (blind), but shalt fear Eloheicha: I am Hashem.
15Ye shall do no avel bamishpat (perversion of justice); thou shalt not respect the person of the poor, nor favor the person of the gadol; but in tzedek shalt thou judge thy neighbor.
16Thou shalt not go up and down as a rakhil (talebearer, slanderer) among thy people; neither shalt thou stand aside while thy neighborʼs dahm is shed; I am Hashem.
17Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thine lev; thou shalt in any wise rebuke thy neighbor, and not bear chet because of him.
18Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the bnei ammecha (children of thy people), v'ahavta l're'acha kamocha (but thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself): I am Hashem.
19Ye shall be shomer over My chukkot. Thou shalt not mate different kinds of animals; thou shalt not sow thy sadeh with mingled zera; neither shall a garment with shaatnez (mixed fibers) come upon thee.#19:19 See Dt 22:11
20And whosoever lieth carnally with an isha, that is a shifcha betrothed to a husband, and not at all redeemed, nor chufshah (freedom) given her; she shall be scourged; they shall not be put to death, because she has not been chuppashah (freed).
21And he shall bring his asham (trespass offering, guilt offering) unto Hashem, unto the entrance of the Ohel Mo'ed, even a ram of asham.
22And the kohen shall make kapporah for him with the ram of the asham before Hashem for his chattat which he hath sinned; and the chattat which he hath sinned shall be forgiven him.
23And when ye shall come into ha'aretz, and shall have planted all manner of food trees, then ye shall treat the fruit thereof as forbidden; shalosh shanim shall it be as forbidden unto you; it shall not be eaten of.
24But in the shanah harev'i'it all the fruit thereof shall be kodesh to praise Hashem withal.
25And in the shanah hachamishit shall ye eat of the fruit thereof, that it may yield unto you the increase thereof: I am Hashem Eloheichem.
26Ye shall not eat any thing with the dahm; neither shall ye practice divination, nor practice sorcery.
27Ye shall not cut the edge of your scalp, neither shalt thou mar the corners of thy beard.
28Ye shall not make any cuttings in your basar for the dead, nor tattoo any marks upon you: I am Hashem.
29Do not prostitute thy bat, to cause her to be a harlot; lest ha'aretz fall to whoredom, and ha'aretz become full of depravity.
30Ye shall be shomer over My Shabbatot, and reverence My Mikdash; I am Hashem.
31Regard not them that have familiar spirits, neither seek after Ovos (Mediums) and Yidonim (Spiritists), to be defiled by them: I am Hashem Eloheichem.
32Thou shalt rise up before the old, and honor the face of the zaken, and fear Eloheicha: I am Hashem.
33And if a ger sojourn with thee in your land, ye shall not mistreat him.
34But the ger that dwelleth with you shall be unto you as one born among you, and thou shalt love him as thyself; for ye were gerim in Eretz Mitzrayim: I am Hashem Eloheichem.
35Ye shall do no unrighteousness in scales, in weights, and dry measures.
36Tzedek scales, tzedek weights, a tzedek ephah, and a tzedek hin, shall ye have: I am Hashem Eloheichem, which brought you out of Eretz Mitzrayim.
37Therefore shall ye be shomer (on guard to keep) over all My chukkot (statutes), and all My mishpatim (judgments), and do them: I am Hashem.

Leviticus 19
19
Holiness Code
1Adonai spoke to Moses saying:
2“Speak to all the congregation of Bnei-Yisrael and tell them: You shall be kedoshim, for I, Adonai your God, am holy.
3“Each one of you is to respect his mother and his father, and keep My Shabbatot. I am Adonai your God.
4“Do not turn to idols, or make molten gods for yourselves. I am Adonai your God.
5“When you bring a sacrifice of fellowship offerings to Adonai, you are to offer it so that you may be accepted.
6It is to be eaten the same day you offer it, and the next day. But if anything remains until the third day, it is to be burned with fire.
7If it is eaten at all on the third day, it is disgusting. It will not be accepted.
8Rather, anyone who eats it will bear his iniquity, since he has profaned what is holy to Adonai, and that soul will be cut off from his people.
9“When you reap the harvest of your land, you are not to reap to the very corners of your field, nor are you to gather the gleanings of your harvest.
10You are not to pick the remnants of your vineyard, nor are you to gather the fallen grapes of your vineyard. Instead, you are to leave them for the poor and for the outsider. I am Adonai your God.
11“You are not to steal. You are not to lie. You are not to deceive one another.
12“You are not to swear by My Name falsely, and so profane the Name of your God. I am Adonai.
13“You are not to oppress your neighbor, nor rob him. The wages of a hired servant are not to remain with you all night until the morning.
14“You are not to curse the deaf, nor put a stumbling block before the blind, but you shall fear your God. I am Adonai.
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.
18You 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.
21He is to bring his trespass offering to Adonai, to the entrance of the Tent of Meeting—a ram for a guilt offering.
22The 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.
24Then in the fourth year all its fruit will be holy, for giving praise to Adonai.
25In 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.
28You 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.
32“You are to rise up in the presence of the gray-haired and honor the presence of the elderly. So you will fear your God. I am Adonai.
33“If an outsider dwells with you in your land, you shall do him no wrong.
34The outsider dwelling among you should be to you as the native-born among you. You should love him as yourself—for you dwelled as outsiders in the land of Egypt. I am Adonai your God.
35“You must not be dishonest in judgment—in measurements of length, weight or of quantity.
36You are to have honest balances, honest weights, honest bushel-measure and an honest gallon. I am Adonai your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt.
37You must observe all My statutes and all My ordinances—do them. I am Adonai.”
