9「你們收割的時候，不要割淨田角地邊的莊稼，也不要撿那些掉在田裡的穗子。 10不要摘淨葡萄園裡的葡萄，也不要撿掉在地上的葡萄。要把這些留給窮人和寄居在你們中間的外族人。我是你們的上帝耶和華。 11不可偷盜，不可撒謊，不可互相欺騙。 12不可以我的名義起假誓，從而褻瀆你們上帝的名。我是耶和華。 13不可欺壓鄰居，也不可搶奪他的東西。要當天支付雇工的工錢，不可拖到第二天。 14不可咒罵聾子，也不可絆倒盲人，應當敬畏你們的上帝。我是耶和華。 15不可徇私枉法，不可偏袒窮人，不可諂媚權貴之人，要秉公審判。 16不可到處搬弄是非，不可危害鄰居的生命安全。我是耶和華。 17對同胞不可心中懷恨。同胞有錯，要當面指正，免得自己因他而擔罪。 18不可報復，不可埋怨同胞，要愛鄰如己。我是耶和華。

20「一個已經許配人的婢女尚未被贖或未獲自由時，如果有人與她同寢，就要受到處罰，但不可處死他們，因為那婢女還未獲自由。 21和她同寢的人要把一隻公綿羊牽到會幕門口，作為贖過祭獻給耶和華。 22祭司要用作贖過祭的公綿羊為那人贖罪，他的罪便得到赦免。
23「你們到了迦南，在那裡栽種各樣果樹後，前三年不可吃樹上的果子，要視它們是不潔淨的19·23 「不潔淨的」希伯來文是「未受割禮的」。。 24第四年，樹上的所有果子都是聖潔的，要獻給耶和華作頌讚之祭。 25第五年，你們可以吃樹上的果子。你們這樣做，果樹會為你們結出更多果子。我是你們的上帝耶和華。
26「不可吃帶血的肉，不可占卜或行巫術。 27不可修剪鬢角或鬍鬚。 28不可因哀悼死人而割傷身體或紋身。我是耶和華。 29不可辱沒自己的女兒，使她淪為娼妓，免得你們居住的地方充滿淫亂和邪惡。 30要遵守我的安息日，敬畏我的聖所。我是耶和華。 31不可求問靈媒或巫師，玷污自己。我是你們的上帝耶和華。
32「在年長者面前，要恭敬站立，要敬重年長者。要敬畏你們的上帝。我是耶和華。 33不可欺負住在你們境內的外族人， 34要視他們如同胞，愛他們如愛自己，因為你們也曾經寄居埃及。我是你們的上帝耶和華。 35在秤重和度量時，不可騙人。 36要使用準確的秤、尺子和升斗。我是你們的上帝耶和華，曾帶領你們離開埃及。 37你們要遵行我的一切律例和典章。我是耶和華。」
