16. You shall not go up and down as a dispenser of gossip and scandal among your people, nor shall you [secure yourself by false testimony or by silence and] endanger the life of your neighbor. I am the Lord.
17. You shall not hate your brother in your heart; but you shall surely rebuke your neighbor, lest you incur sin because of him. [Gal. 6:1; I John 2:9, 11; 3:15.]
18. You shall not take revenge or bear any grudge against the sons of your people, but you shall love your neighbor as yourself. I am the Lord. [Matt. 5:43-46; Rom. 12:17, 19.]
19. You shall keep My statutes. You shall not let your domestic animals breed with a different kind [of animal]; you shall not sow your field with mixed seed, neither wear a garment of linen mixed with wool.
20. And if a man lies carnally with a woman who is a slave betrothed to a husband and not yet ransomed or given her freedom, they shall be punished [after investigation]; they shall not be put to death, because she was not free;
21. But he shall bring his guilt or trespass offering to the Lord to the door of the Tent of Meeting, a ram for a guilt or trespass offering.
22. The priest shall make atonement for him with the ram of the guilt or trespass offering before the Lord for his sin, and he shall be forgiven for committing the sin.
23. And when you come into the land and have planted all kinds of trees for food, then you shall count the fruit of them as inedible and forbidden to you for three years; it shall not be eaten.
24. In the fourth year all their fruit shall be holy for giving praise to the Lord.
25. But in the fifth year you may eat of the fruit [of the trees], that their produce may enrich you; I am the Lord your God.
26. You shall not eat anything with the blood; neither shall you use magic, omens, or witchcraft [or predict events by horoscope or signs and lucky days].
27. You shall not round the corners of the hair of your heads nor trim the corners of your beard [as some idolaters do].
28. You shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead nor print or tattoo any marks upon you; I am the Lord.
29. Do not profane your daughter by causing her to be a harlot, lest the land fall into harlotry and become full of wickedness.
30. You shall keep My Sabbaths and reverence My sanctuary. I am the Lord.
