Leviticus 19:29-37 The Message (MSG)
“Don’t violate your daughter by making her a whore—the whole country would soon become a brothel, filled with sordid sex. “Keep my Sabbaths and revere my Sanctuary: I am GOD. “Don’t dabble in the occult or traffic with mediums; you’ll pollute your souls. I am GOD, your God. “Show respect to the aged; honor the presence of an elder; fear your God. I am GOD. “When a foreigner lives with you in your land, don’t take advantage of him. Treat the foreigner the same as a native. Love him like one of your own. Remember that you were once foreigners in Egypt. I am GOD, your God. “Don’t cheat when measuring length, weight, or quantity. Use honest scales and weights and measures. I am GOD, your God. I brought you out of Egypt. “Keep all my decrees and all my laws. Yes, do them. I am GOD.” * * *
Leviticus 19:29-37 King James Version (KJV)
Do not prostitute thy daughter, to cause her to be a whore; lest the land fall to whoredom, and the land become full of wickedness. Ye shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary: I am the LORD. Regard not them that have familiar spirits, neither seek after wizards, to be defiled by them: I am the LORD your God. Thou shalt rise up before the hoary head, and honour the face of the old man, and fear thy God: I am the LORD. And if a stranger sojourn with thee in your land, ye shall not vex him. But 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. Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment, in meteyard, in weight, or in measure. Just balances, just weights, a just ephah, and a just hin, shall ye have: I am the LORD your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt. Therefore shall ye observe all my statutes, and all my judgments, and do them: I am the LORD.
