Leviticus 19:20 - Forerunner Commentary

Leviticus 19:20

18 ^aYou shall not take vengeance, nor bear any grudge against the children of your people, ^bbut you shall love your neighbor as yourself: I am the Lord.

19 ‘You shall keep My statutes. You shall not let your livestock breed with another kind. You shall not sow your field with mixed seed. Nor shall a garment of mixed linen and wool come upon you.

20 ‘Whoever lies carnally with a woman who is ^abetrothed to a man as a concubine, and who has not at all been redeemed nor given her freedom, for this there shall be¹ scourging; but they shall not be put to death, because she was not free.

21 And he shall bring his trespass offering to the Lord, to the door of the tabernacle of meeting, a ram as a trespass offering.

22 The priest shall make atonement for him with the ram of the trespass offering before the Lord for his sin which he has committed. And the sin which he has committed shall be forgiven him.

23 ‘When you come into the land, and have planted all kinds of trees for food, then you shall count their fruit as¹ uncircumcised. Three years it shall be as uncircumcised to you. It shall not be eaten.

24 But in the fourth year all its fruit shall be holy, a praise to the Lord.

25 And in the fifth year you may eat its fruit, that it may yield to you its increase: I am the Lord your God.

26 ‘You shall not eat anything with the blood, nor shall you practice divination or soothsaying.

27 You shall not shave around the sides of your head, nor shall you disfigure the edges of your beard.
