19:1 The various commands
2 Tell the entire Israeli community that they must be separate from others, because I, your god Yahweh, am holy (i.e., separated from impurity).[ref] 3 Everyone must respect and obey their parents, and observe my rest days. I am your god Yahweh.[ref]
4 Don’t turn to worthless idols, and don’t make cast metal gods for yourselves. I am your god Yahweh.[ref]
5 When you all sacrifice peace offerings, do it correctly so that you’ll all be accepted. 6 The meat from your sacrifice must be eaten that same day or the next day—anything left until the third day must be thrown into the fire. 7 If it was to be eaten on the third day, it would be ‘unclean’ and not acceptable, 8 and the people eating it would have to bear their own guilt for profaning Yahweh’s holiness, and that person must be cut off from the community.
9 When you all harvest your crops off your land, you mustn’t cut the grain right to the very edge of your field, and nor can you all pick up any dropped stalks.[ref] 10 In your vineyards, you must not pick every last grape or pick up any that fall on the ground, because they must be left for the poor and for the foreigners. I am your god Yahweh.
11 You all mustn’t steal or deceive, or defraud any fellow citizen,[ref] 12 and don’t use my name to seal a promise and then go ahead and ruin my reputation. I am Yahweh.[ref]
13 Don’t oppress your neighbours or steal from them. Don’t fail to pay a day-labourer as they finish each day’s work.[ref] 14 Don’t curse a deaf person, or put something in front of a blind person to trip them. You must respect and obey your god. I am Yahweh.[ref]
15 Don’t judge unfairly—showing partiality to the poor, or honouring those who are well-known—you must always judge your fellow citizens fairly.[ref] 16 Don’t go around slandering people. Don’t take advantage of your neighbour’s death. I am Yahweh.

Deu 24:19-22:
19 When you harvest your crops, if you forget a tied bundle in your field, don’t go back to get it—it’ll be for a resident foreigner or an orphan or widow to pick up, so that your god Yahweh can bless everything that you do.[ref] 20 When you beat your olive tree to make the fruit fall, don’t go back over it to pick the ones still on the tree. Those will be for the foreigner, or the orphan or widow. 21 Similarly, when you pick your grapes in the vineyard, don’t go back over the vines a second time. Those will be for the foreigner, or the orphan or widow. 22 Don’t forget that you were a slave in Egypt—that’s why I’m instructing you to do those things.

6 You mustn’t deny justice to the poor in their lawsuits.[ref] 7 Stay far way from deceptive words. You mustn’t kill innocent or honest people because I won’t allow wicked people to be declared innocent. 8 You mustn’t accept bribes, because bribes stop people from being unbiased and they undermine the words of honest people.
Deu 16:19:
19 You mustn’t pervert justice or give favours. Don’t accept bribes because a bribe causes an otherwise wise person to ignore evil and misrepresents what innocent people say.[ref]

26 “Also, you all must not eat blood from either a bird or an animal, no matter where you’re living.[ref] 27 Any person who does eat blood must be cut off from the community.”
17:10-14:
10 If there’s any Israeli or foreigner living among them, who eats blood, then I’ll oppose that person and remove them from the community[ref] 11 because the body’s life is in the blood. I myself have given you blood to make atonement for your lives at the altar, because it’s the blood that can atone for life.[ref] 12 That’s why I told the Israelis that none of them must eat blood—not even the foreigners that live among them may eat blood.
13 So any person (Israeli or foreigner living among them) who catches wild game (including birds) to eat, they must pour its blood out and cover it with soil 14 because the life of their bodies is the blood that’s in them. Again, that’s why I’ve told the Israelis not to eat the blood of any living thing because the life is in the blood, and anyone who eats it must be cut off from the community.
Deu 12:16,23:
16 However, don’t eat the blood—it must be poured out on the ground like water.[ref] 23 However, don’t eat the blood of any animal, because the blood is the life and you mustn’t eat the life with the meat.[ref]
15:23:
23 However, don’t eat the blood—it must be poured out on the ground like water.[ref]

1Sam 28:3:
3 By now, Shemu’el was long dead and all Yisrael had mourned for him and had buried him in his town of Ramah, and Sha’ul had had expelled all the mediums from the country, along with those who contacted the spirits.[ref]
2Ki 23:4:
4 Then the king commanded the high priest Hilkiyyah and the other priests, and the temple guards to bring out all the utensils that were made for Baal and Asherah and for all the constellations, and he burnt them outside Yerushalem in the Kidron countryside, and carried their ashes to Beyt-El.

21 You mustn’t disadvantage or oppress any foreigner staying in your country, because you were foreigners staying in the land of Egypt.[ref]
Deu 24:17-18:

That’s why I’m commanding you to do those things—to be considerate about helping other people who are in need.
27:19:
19 ‘Anyone who perverts justice for a foreigner or orphan or widow will be cursed.’[ref]
Then the people must reply, ‘Let it be so.’
Deu 25:13-16:
25:13 Don’t all cheat
13 Don’t keep two stone weights in your bag—a lighter one and a heavier one for when you’re buying and selling.[ref] 14 Don’t keep two measuring containers in your house—a smaller one and a larger one. 15 You must use exact stone weights and measuring containers so that your god Yahweh will prolong your time in the country that he’s giving you—16 he can’t stand people who cheat others.
Prv 20:10:
10 Differing weights and unequal measures—
→ Yahweh hates both of them.
Eze 45:10:
