Leviticus 19
Commandments for Holiness
1And YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,2“Speak to all the congregation of the sons of Israel, and you shall say to them: You shall be holy, for I am holy—YHWH your God.
3Each man shall fear his mother and his father, and you shall keep My Sabbaths. I am YHWH your God.
4You shall not turn to the idols, and you shall not make molten gods for yourselves. I am YHWH your God.
5And when you sacrifice a sacrifice of peace offerings to YHWH, you shall sacrifice it for your acceptance.6It shall be eaten on the day of your sacrificing and on the next day. and the remainder until the third day, it shall be burned in the fire.7And if any of it is eaten on the third day, it is an abomination; it shall not be accepted.8And the one who eats it shall bear his iniquity because he has profaned the holy thing of YHWH, and that soul shall be cut off from his people.
Love Your Neighbor
9And in your reaping the harvest of your land, you shall not complete reaping the edge of your field, and the gleanings of your harvest you shall not gather.10And your vineyard—you shall not glean, and the fallen grapes of your vineyard you shall not gather.

23And when you come into the land, and you plant every kind of tree for food, then you shall regard their fruit uncircumcised. Three years it shall be uncircumcised to you; it shall not be eaten.24And in the fourth year all its fruit shall be holy praises to YHWH.25And in the fifth year you shall eat its fruit, to add to you its yield. I am YHWH your God.

33And if a sojourner sojourns with you in your land, you shall not oppress him.34As a native from among you shall be to you the sojourner who is sojourning with you, and you shall love him as yourself, for you were sojourners in the land of Egypt. I am YHWH your God.
35You shall not do injustice in judgment in measure, in weight, and in volume.36Righteous scales, righteous stones, a righteous ephah, and a righteous hin shall be unto you. I am YHWH your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt.
