1. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2. Speak to the sons of Israel, and you shall say to them: I am the Lord your God.
3. You shall not act according to the custom of the land of Egypt, in which you have lived; nor shall you behave according to the habit of the region of Canaan, into which I will lead you; neither shall you walk in their ordinances.
4. You shall accomplish my judgments, and you shall observe my precepts, and you shall walk in them. I am the Lord your God.
