Leviticus 19:13-30
English Standard Version
Chapter 19
13"You shall not oppress your neighbor or rob him. The wages of a hired worker shall not remain with you all night until the morning. 14You shall not curse the deaf or put a stumbling block before the blind, but you shall fear your God: I am the Lord.
15"You shall do no injustice in court. You shall not be partial to the poor or defer to the great, but in righteousness shall you judge your neighbor.
16You shall not go around as a slanderer among your people, and you shall not stand up against the life of your neighbor: I am the Lord.
17"You shall not hate your brother in your heart, but you shall reason frankly with your neighbor, lest you incur sin because of him.
18You shall not take vengeance or bear a grudge against the sons of your own people, but you shall love your neighbor as yourself: I am the Lord.
20"If a man lies sexually with a woman who is a slave, assigned to another man and not yet ransomed or given her freedom, a distinction shall be made. They shall not be put to death, because she was not free;
21but he shall bring his compensation to the Lord, to the entrance of the tent of meeting, a ram for a guilt offering.
22And the priest shall make atonement for him with the ram of the guilt offering before the Lord for his sin that he has committed, and he shall be forgiven for the sin that he has committed.
23"When you come into the land and plant any kind of tree for food, then you shall regard its fruit as forbidden. Three years it shall be forbidden to you; it must not be eaten.
24And in the fourth year all its fruit shall be holy, an offering of praise to the Lord.
25But in the fifth year you may eat of its fruit, to increase its yield for you: I am the Lord your God.
