Leviticus 19
Reading Leviticus chapter 19 in the Douay-Rheims Catholic Bible, public-domain text from 1899.
Verses 1–10
1 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2 Speak to all the congregation of the children of Israel. And thou shalt say to them: Be ye holy, because I the Lord your God am holy.
3 Let every one fear his father, and his mother. Keep my sabbaths. I am the Lord your God.
4 Turn ye not to idols: nor make to yourselves molten gods. I am the Lord your God.
5 If ye offer in sacrifice a peace offering to the Lord, that he may be favourable:
6 You shall eat it on the same day it was offered, and the next day. And whatsoever shall be left until the third day, you shall burn with fire.
7 If after two days any man eat thereof, he shall be profane and guilty of impiety:
8 And shall bear his iniquity, because he hath defiled the holy thing of the Lord. And that soul shall perish from among his people.
9 When thou reapest the corn of thy land, thou shalt not cut down all that is on the face of the earth to the very ground: nor shalt thou gather the ears that remain.
10 Neither shalt thou gather the bunches and grapes that fall down in thy vineyard: but shalt leave them to the poor and the strangers to take. I am the Lord your God.
