7: And if it be eaten at all on the third day, it is abominable; it shall not be accepted.

8: Therefore every one that eateth it shall bear his iniquity, because he hath profaned the hallowed thingof the LORD: and that soul shall be cut off from among his people.

9: And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not wholly reap the corners of thy field, neither shalt thou gather the gleanings of thy harvest.

10: And thou shalt not glean thy vineyard, neither shalt thou gather every grape of thy vineyard; thou shalt leave them for the poor and stranger: I am the LORD your God.

14: Thou shalt not curse the deaf, nor put a stumbling-block before the blind, but shalt fear thy God: I am the LORD.

15: Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment: thou shalt not respect the person of the poor, nor honor the person of the mighty: but in righteousness shalt thou judge thy neighbor.

16: Thou shalt not go up and down as a talebearer among thy people: neither shalt thou stand against the blood of thy neighbor; I am the LORD.

17: Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thine heart: thou shalt in any wise rebuke thy neighbor, and not suffer sin upon him.

18: Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself: I am the LORD.

19: Ye shall keep my statutes. Thou shalt not let thy cattle gender with a diverse kind: thou shalt not sow thy field with mingled seed: neithershall a garment mingled of linen and woolen come upon thee.

20: And whosoever lieth carnally with a woman, that is a bondmaid, betrothed to an husband, and not at all redeemed,nor freedom given her; she shall be scourged; they shall not be put to death, because she was not free.

21: And he shall bring his trespass offering unto the LORD, unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, even a ram for a trespass offering.

22: And the priest shall make an atonement for him with the ram of the trespass offering before the LORD for his sin which he hath done: and the sin which he hath done shall be forgivenhim.

23: And when ye shall come into the land, and shall have planted all manner of trees for food,then ye shall count the fruit thereof as uncircumcised: three years shall it be as uncircumcised unto you: it shall not be eaten of.

24: But in the fourth year all the fruit thereof shall be holy to praise the LORD withal.

25: And in the fifth year shall ye eat of the fruit thereof, that it may yield unto you the increase thereof: I am the LORD yourGod.

32: Thou shalt rise up before the hoary head, and honor the face of the old man, and fear thy God: I am the LORD.

33: And if a stranger sojourn with thee in your land, ye shall not vex him.

35: Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment, in meteyard, in weight, or in measure.
