26“ ‘Do not eat any meat that still has blood in it.

“ ‘Do not practice any kind of evil magic at all.

27“ ‘Do not cut the hair on the sides of your head. Do not clip off the edges of your beard.

28“ ‘Do not make cuts on your bodies when someone dies. Do not put marks on your skin. I am the Lord.

29“ ‘Do not dishonor your daughter’s body by making a prostitute out of her. If you do, the people of Israel will start using prostitutes. The land will be filled with evil.

30“ ‘You must always keep my Sabbath days. Have respect for my sacred tent. I am the Lord.

31“ ‘Do not look for advice from people who get messages from those who have died. Do not go to people who talk to the spirits of the dead. If you do, they will make you “unclean.” I am the Lord your God.

KJV 1900King James Version

Ye shall not eat any thing with the blood: neither shall ye use enchantment, nor observe times. Ye shall not round the corners of your heads, neither shalt thou mar the corners of thy beard. Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the Lord. Do not prostitute thy daughter, to cause her to be a whore; lest the land fall to whoredom, and the land become full of wickedness. Ye shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary: I am the Lord. Regard not them that have familiar spirits, neither seek after wizards, to be defiled by them: I am the Lord your God.
