Leviticus 19:1–8

LAWS OF HOLINESS

19 The Lord spoke to Moses: 2 “Speak to the entire Israelite community and tell them: Be holym because I, the Lord your God, am holy.n

3 “Each of you is to respect his mother and father.o You are to keep my Sabbaths; I am the Lord your God. 4 Do not turn to worthless idolsp or make cast imagesq of gods for yourselves;r I am the Lord your God.

5 “When you offer a fellowship sacrifice to the Lord, sacrifice it so that you may be accepted. 6 It is to be eaten on the day you sacrifice it or on the next day, but what remains on the third day must be burned.s 7 If any is eaten on the third day, it is a repulsive thing; it will not be accepted.t 8 Anyone who eats it will bear his iniquity, for he has profaned what is holy to the Lord. That person is to be cut off from his people.u
