LXX Brenton's Greek Septuagint
WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Καὶ ἐλάλησε Κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν, λέγων,
1 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
2 λάλησον τῇ συναγωγῇ τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ ἐρεῖς πρὸς αὐτοῦς, ἅγιοι ἔσεσθε, ὅτι ἅγιος ἐγὼ Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς ὑμῶν.
2 “Speak to all the congregation of the children of Israel, and tell them, ‘You shall be holy; for I, Yahweh your God, am holy.
3 Ἕκαστος πατέρα αὐτοῦ καὶ μητέρα αὐτοῦ φοβείσθω, καὶ τὰ σάββατά μου φυλάξεσθε· ἐγὼ Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς ὑμῶν.
3 “‘Each one of you shall respect his mother and his father. You shall keep my Sabbaths. I am Yahweh your God.
4 Οὐκ ἐπακολουθήσετε εἰδώλοις, καὶ θεοὺς χωνευτοὺς οὐ ποιήσετε ὑμῖν· ἐγὼ Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς ὑμῶν.
4 “‘Don’t turn to idols, nor make molten gods for yourselves. I am Yahweh your God.
5 Καὶ ἐὰν θύσητε θυσίαν σωτηρίου τῷ Κυρίῳ, δεκτὴν ὑμῶν θύσετε.
5 “‘When you offer a sacrifice of peace offerings to Yahweh, you shall offer it so that you may be accepted.
6 ᾟ ἂν ἡμέρᾳ θύσετε, βρωθήσεται, καὶ τῇ αὔριον· καὶ ἐὰν καταλειφθῇ ἕως ἡμέρας τρίτης, ἐν πυρὶ κατακαυθήσεται.
6 It shall be eaten the same day you offer it, and on the next day. If anything remains until the third day, it shall be burned with fire.
7 Ἐὰν δὲ βρώσει βρωθῇ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ τρίτῃ, ἄθυτόν ἐστιν, οὐ δεχθήσεται.
7 If it is eaten at all on the third day, it is an abomination. It will not be accepted;
8 Ὁ δὲ ἔσθων αὐτὸ, ἁμαρτίαν λήψεται, ὅτι τὰ ἅγια Κυρίου ἐβεβήλωσε· καὶ ἐξολοθρευθήσονται αἱ ψυχαὶ αἱ ἔσθουσαι ἐκ τοῦ λαοῦ αὐτῶν.
8 but everyone who eats it shall bear his iniquity, because he has profaned the holy thing of Yahweh, and that soul shall be cut off from his people.
9 Καὶ ἐκθεριζόντων ὑμῶν τὸν θερισμὸν τῆς γῆς ὑμῶν, οὐ συντελέσετε τὸν θερισμὸν ὑμῶν τοῦ ἀγροῦ σου ἐκθερίσαι· καὶ τὰ ἀποπίπτοντα τοῦ θερισμοῦ σου οὐ συλλέξεις,
9 “‘When you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not wholly reap the corners of your field, neither shall you gather the gleanings of your harvest.
10 καὶ τὸν ἀμπελῶνά σου οὐκ ἐπανατρυγήσεις, οὐδὲ τὰς ῥῶγας τοῦ ἀμπελῶνός σου συλλέξεις· τῷ πτωχῷ καὶ τῷ προσηλύτῳ καταλείψεις αὐτά. ἐγώ εἰμι Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς ὑμῶν.
10 You shall not glean your vineyard, neither shall you gather the fallen grapes of your vineyard. You shall leave them for the poor and for the foreigner. I am Yahweh your God.
11 Οὐ κλέψετε, οὐ ψεύσεσθε, οὐδὲ συκοφαντήσει ἕκαστος τὸν πλησίον.
11 “‘You shall not steal. “‘You shall not lie. “‘You shall not deceive one another.
12 Καὶ οὐκ ὀμεῖσθε τῷ ὀνόματί μου ἐπʼ ἀδίκῳ, καὶ οὐ βεβηλώσετε τὸ ὄνομα τὸ ἅγιον τοῦ Θεοῦ ὑμῶν· ἐγώ εἰμι Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς ὑμῶν.
12 “‘You shall not swear by my name falsely, and profane the name of your God. I am Yahweh.
13 Οὐκ ἀδικήσεις τὸν πλησίον, καὶ οὐχ ἁρπᾷ· καὶ οὐ μὴ κοιμηθήσεται ὁ μισθὸς τοῦ μισθωτοῦ σου παρὰ σοὶ ἕως πρωΐ.
13 “‘You shall not oppress your neighbor, nor rob him. “‘The wages of a hired servant shall not remain with you all night until the morning.
14 Οὐ κακῶς ἐρεῖς κωφόν, καὶ ἀπέναντι τυφλοῦ οὐ προσθήσεις σκάνδαλον· καὶ φοβηθήσῃ Κύριον τὸν Θεόν σου· ἐγώ εἰμι Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς ὑμῶν.
14 “‘You shall not curse the deaf, nor put a stumbling block before the blind; but you shall fear your God. I am Yahweh.
15 Οὐ ποιήσετε ἄδικον ἐν κρίσει· οὐ λήψῃ πρόσωπον πτωχοῦ, οὐδὲ μὴ θαυμάσῃς πρόσωπον δυνάστου· ἐν δικαιοσύνῃ κρίνεις τὸν πλησίον σου.
15 “‘You shall do no injustice in judgment. You shall not be partial to the poor, nor show favoritism to the great; but you shall judge your neighbor in righteousness.
16 Οὐ πορεύσῃ δόλῳ ἐν τῷ ἔθνει σου· οὐκ ἐπιστήσῃ ἐφʼ αἷμα τοῦ πλησίον σου· ἐγώ εἰμι Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς ὑμῶν.
16 “‘You shall not go around as a slanderer among your people. “‘You shall not endanger the life of your neighbor. I am Yahweh.
17 Οὐ μισήσεις τὸν ἀδελφόν σου τῇ διανοίᾳ σου· ἐλεγμῷ ἐλέγξεις τὸν πλησίον σου, καὶ οὐ λήψῃ διʼ αὐτὸν ἁμαρτίαν.
17 “‘You shall not hate your brother in your heart. You shall surely rebuke your neighbor, and not bear sin because of him.
18 Καὶ οὐκ ἐκδικᾶταί σου ἡ χείρ· καὶ οὐ μηνιεῖς τοῖς υἱοῖς τοῦ λαοῦ σου· καὶ ἀγαπήσεις τὸν πλησίον σου ὡς σεαυτόν· ἐγώ εἰμι Κύριος.
18 “‘You shall not take vengeance, nor bear any grudge against the children of your people; but you shall love your neighbor as yourself. I am Yahweh.
19 Τὸν νόμον μου φυλάξεσθε· τὰ κτήνη σου οὐ κατοχεύσεις ἑτεροζύγῳ· καὶ τὸν ἀμπελῶνά σου οὐ κατασπερεῖς διάφορον· καὶ ἱμάτιον ἐκ δύο ὑφασμένον κίβδηλον οὐκ ἐπιβαλεῖς σεαυτῷ.
19 “‘You shall keep my statutes. “‘You shall not cross-breed different kinds of animals. “‘You shall not sow your field with two kinds of seed; “‘Don’t wear a garment made of two kinds of material.
20 Καὶ ἐάν τις κοιμηθῇ μετὰ γυναικὸς κοίτην σπέρματος, καὶ αὕτη ᾖ οἰκέτις διαπεφυλαγμένη ἀνθρώπῳ, καὶ αὕτη λύτροις οὐ λελύτρωται, ἢ ἐλευθερία οὐκ ἐδόθη αὐτῇ, ἐπισκοπὴ ἔσται αὐτοῖς· οὐκ ἀποθανοῦνται, ὅτι οὐκ ἀπηλευθερώθη.
20 “‘If a man lies carnally with a woman who is a slave girl, pledged to be married to another man, and not ransomed or given her freedom; they shall be punished. They shall not be put to death, because she was not free.
21 Καὶ προσάξει τῆς πλημμελείας αὐτοῦ τῷ Κυρίῳ παρὰ τὴν θύραν τῆς σκηνῆς τοῦ μαρτυρίου κριὸν πλημμελείας.
21 He shall bring his trespass offering to Yahweh, to the door of the Tent of Meeting, even a ram for a trespass offering.
22 Καὶ ἐξιλάσεται περὶ αὐτοῦ ὁ ἱερεὺς ἐν τῷ κριῷ τῆς πλημμελείας ἔναντι Κυρίου περὶ τῆς ἁμαρτίας ἧς ἥμαρτε, καὶ ἀφεθήσεται αὐτῷ ἡ ἁμαρτία ἣν ἥμαρτεν.
22 The priest shall make atonement for him with the ram of the trespass offering before Yahweh for his sin which he has committed; and the sin which he has committed shall be forgiven him.
23 Ὅταν δὲ εἰσέλθητε εἰς τὴν γῆν, ἣν Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς ὑμῶν δίδωσιν ὑμῖν, καὶ καταφυτεύσετε πᾶν ξύλον βρώσιμον, καὶ περικαθαριεῖτε τὴν ἀκαθαρσίαν αὐτοῦ· ὁ καρπὸς αὐτοῦ τρία ἔτη ἔσται ὑμῖν ἀπερικάθαρτος, οὐ βρωθήσεται.
23 “‘When you come into the land, and have planted 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.
24 Καὶ τῷ ἔτει τῷ τετάρτῳ ἔσται πᾶς ὁ καρπὸς αὐτοῦ ἅγιος αἰνετὸς τῷ Κυρίῳ.
24 But in the fourth year all its fruit shall be holy, for giving praise to Yahweh.
25 Ἐν δὲ τῷ ἔτει τῷ πέμπτῳ φάγεσθε τὸν καρπόν, πρόσθεμα ὑμῖν τὰ γεννήματα αὐτοῦ· ἐγώ εἰμι Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς ὑμῶν.
25 In the fifth year you shall eat its fruit, that it may yield its increase to you. I am Yahweh your God.
26 Μὴ ἔσθετε ἐπὶ τῶν ὀρέων, καὶ οὐκ οἰωνιεῖσθε, οὐδὲ ὀρνιθοσκοπήσεσθε.
26 “‘You shall not eat any meat with the blood still in it. You shall not use enchantments, nor practice sorcery.
27 Οὐ ποιήσετε σισόην ἐκ τῆς κόμης τῆς κεφαλῆς ὑμῶν, οὐδὲ φθερεῖτε τὴν ὄψιν τοῦ πώγωνος ὑμῶν.
27 “‘You shall not cut the hair on the sides of your head or clip off the edge of your beard.
28 Καὶ ἐντομίδας οὐ ποιήσετε ἐπὶ ψυχῇ ἐν τῷ σώματι ὑμῶν· καὶ γράμματα στικτὰ οὐ ποιήσετε ἐν ὑμῖν· ἐγώ εἰμι Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς ὑμῶν.
28 “‘You shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor tattoo any marks on you. I am Yahweh.
29 Οὐ βεβηλώσεις τὴν θυγατέρα σου ἐκπορνεῦσαι αὐτήν· καὶ οὐκ ἐκπορνεύσει ἡ γῆ, καὶ ἡ γῆ πλησθήσεται ἀνομίας.
29 “‘Don’t profane your daughter, to make her a prostitute; lest the land fall to prostitution, and the land become full of wickedness.
30 Τὰ σάββατά μον φυλάξεσθε, καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν ἁγίων μου φοβηθήσεσθε· ἐγώ εἰμι Κύριος.
30 “‘You shall keep my Sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary; I am Yahweh.
31 Οὐκ ἐπακολουθήσετε ἐγγαστριμύθοις, καὶ τοῖς ἐπαοιδοῖς οὐ προσκολληθήσεσθε, ἐκμιανθῆναι ἐν αὐτοῖς· ἐγώ εἰμι Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς ὑμῶν.
31 “‘Don’t turn to those who are mediums, nor to the wizards. Don’t seek them out, to be defiled by them. I am Yahweh your God.
32 Ἀπὸ προσώπου πολιοῦ ἐξαναστήσῃ, καὶ τιμήσεις πρόσωπον πρεσβυτέρου, καὶ φοβηθήσῃ τὸν Θεόν σου· ἐγώ εἰμι Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς ὑμῶν.
32 “‘You shall rise up before the gray head and honor the face of the elderly; and you shall fear your God. I am Yahweh.
33 Ἐὰν δέ τις προσέλθῃ ὑμῖν προσήλυτος ἐν τῇ γῇ ὑμῶν, οὐ θλίψετε αὐτόν.
33 “‘If a stranger lives as a foreigner with you in your land, you shall not do him wrong.
34 Ὡς ὁ αὐτόχθων ἐν ὑμῖν ἔσται ὁ προσήλυτος ὁ προσπορευόμενος πρὸς ὑμᾶς, καὶ ἀγαπήσεις αὐτὸν ὡς σεαυτόν· ὅτι προσήλυτοι ἐγενήθητε ἐν γῇ Αἰγύπτῳ· ἐγώ εἰμι Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς ὑμῶν.
34 The stranger who lives as a foreigner with you shall be to you as the native-born among you, and you shall love him as yourself; for you lived as foreigners in the land of Egypt. I am Yahweh your God.
35 Οὐ ποιήσετε ἄδικον ἐν κρίσει, ἐν μέτροις καὶ ἐν σταθμίοις καὶ ἐν ζυγοῖς.
35 “‘You shall do no unrighteousness in judgment, in measures of length, of weight, or of quantity.
36 Ζυγὰ δίκαια καὶ σταθμία δίκαια καὶ χοῦς δίκαιος ἔσται ἐν ὑμιν· ἐγώ εἰμι Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς ὑμῶν, ὁ ἐξαγαγὼν ὑμᾶς ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου.
36 You shall have just balances, just weights, a just ephah, and a just hin. I am Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt.
37 Καὶ φυλάξεσθε πάντα τὸν νόμον μου, καὶ πάντα τὰ προστάγματά μου, καὶ ποιήσετε αὐτά· ἐγώ εἰμι Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς ὑμῶν.
37 “‘You shall observe all my statutes and all my ordinances, and do them. I am Yahweh.’”

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

  1. Quotes verse 19:18 Augustine of Hippo, Tractates on the Gospel of John (Chapters XIII–XIII)

    "A new commandment," He says, "I give unto you, that ye love one another." But was not this already commanded in the ancient law of God, where it is written, "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself"? Why, then, is it called a new one by the Lord, when it is proved to be so old?
