(2,679 posts)Here is a list just from Leviticus 19
Honor mother and father (3)
Keep the Sabbaths (3 & 30)
Stay away from idols (4)
Eat your peace offerings within 2 days (5-8)
Peace offerings are outlined Leviticus 7:11-36
No reaping the corners of your fields of crops (9)
To leave something for the poor, also seen in Deuteronomy 5:19-22
Ruth took advantage of this provision in Ruth 2
No taking all the fruit out of your vineyard (10)
For the same reason as verse 9
No stealing, dealing falsely or lying to one another (11)
No swearing by or profaning God (12)
This strengthens the third commandment of not taking "the name of the LORD thy God in vain."
Refusing to honor an oath where the "name of the LORD thy God" is invoked is in view here.
No defrauding (13)
No taking advantage of the deaf or blind (14)
No showing partiality to rich or poor (15)
No bearing tales (16)
No hating your brother or neighbor (17)
No grudges or vengeance against your neighbor (18)
Notice the stipulation, "thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself." This was proclaimed by Jesus to summarize the second half of the Law of Moses in Matthew 22:37-40.
No cross breeding (19)
The reason is not specified.
No seed mingling (19)
The reason is not specified, although restated in Deuteronomy 22: 9.
No wearing fabrics with a linen/wool mixture (19)
The reason is not specified, although restated in Deuteronomy 22:11.
How to treat illicit sexual relationships with a slave girl (20-22)
No eating the fruit of a new tree for the first 4 years (23-25)
No blood consumption (26)
No psychic/soothsayer/witch activity (26 & 31)
No sideburns (27)
Apparently to avoid mimicking a heathen practice
No flesh cutting - piercings or tattoos (28)
Leviticus 21:4-5 restates this. It was apparently a practice of heathen worship back then. Jezebel's priests of Baal cut themselves in I Kings 18:20-46 in an attempt to get their false gods to assist them.
No prostituting your daughter (29)
Keep the sabbaths (30)
Stay away from witches (31)
Honor the elderly (32)
Be nice to foreigners (33-34)
Don't cheat in business (35-36)
