New American Standard Bible

Chapter 19

23‘Now when you enter the land and plant all kinds of trees for food, then you shall count their fruit as forbidden. For three years it shall be forbidden to you; it shall 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 shall eat its fruit, so that its yield may increase for you; I am the Lord your God.
26‘You shall not eat any meat with the blood. You shall not practice divination nor soothsaying. 27You shall not round off the hairline of your heads, nor trim the edges of your beard. 28You shall not make any cuts in your body for the dead, nor make any tattoo marks on yourselves: I am the Lord.
29‘Do not profane your daughter by making her a prostitute, so that the land does not fall into prostitution, and the land does not become full of outrageous sin. 30You shall keep My Sabbaths and revere My sanctuary; I am the Lord.
31‘Do not turn to mediums or spiritists; do not seek them out to be defiled by them. I am the Lord your God.
32‘You shall stand up in the presence of the grayheaded and honor elders, and you shall fear your God; I am the Lord.
33‘When a stranger resides with you in your land, you shall not do him wrong. 34The stranger who resides with you shall be to you as the native among you, and you shall love him as yourself, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt; I am the Lord your God.
35‘You shall do no wrong in judgment, in measurement of weight, or volume.
King James Version

Chapter 19

23And 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. 24But in the fourth year all the fruit thereof shall be holy to praise the LORD withal. 25And in the fifth year shall ye eat of the fruit thereof, that it may yield unto you the increase thereof: I am the LORD your God. 26Ye shall not eat any thing with the blood: neither shall ye use enchantment, nor observe times. 27Ye shall not round the corners of your heads, neither shalt thou mar the corners of thy beard. 28Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the LORD. 29Do not prostitute thy daughter, to cause her to be a whore; lest the land fall to whoredom, and the land become full of wickedness.
30Ye shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary: I am the LORD. 31Regard not them that have familiar spirits, neither seek after wizards, to be defiled by them: I am the LORD your God. 32Thou shalt rise up before the hoary head, and honour the face of the old man, and fear thy God: I am the LORD. 33And if a stranger sojourn with thee in your land, ye shall not vex him. 34But the stranger that dwelleth with you shall be unto you as one born among you, and thou shalt love him as thyself; for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God. 35Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment, in meteyard, in weight, or in measure.

Chapter 19

23"When you come into the land and plant any kind of tree for food, you are to consider the fruit forbidden. It will be forbidden to you for three years; it is not to be eaten. 24In the fourth year all its fruit is to be consecrated as a praise offering to the Lord. 25But in the fifth year you may eat its fruit. In this way its yield will increase for you; I am the Lord your God.
26"You are not to eat anything with blood in it. You are not to practice divination or witchcraft. 27You are not to cut off the hair at the sides of your head or mar the edge of your beard. 28You are not to make gashes on your bodies for the dead or put tattoo marks on yourselves; I am the Lord.
29"Do not debase your daughter by making her a prostitute, or the land will be prostituted and filled with depravity. 30Keep my Sabbaths and revere my sanctuary; I am the Lord.
31"Do not turn to mediums or consult spiritists, or you will be defiled by them; I am the Lord your God.
32"You are to rise in the presence of the elderly and honor the old. Fear your God; I am the Lord.
33"When an alien resides with you in your land, you must not oppress him. 34You will regard the alien who resides with you as the native-born among you. You are to love him as yourself, for you were aliens in the land of Egypt; I am the Lord your God.
35"Do not be unfair in measurements of length, weight, or volume.

32Stand up in the presence of the elderly, and show respect for the aged. Fear your God. I am the Lord.
