28. You shall not make any cuts on your body for the dead or tattoo yourselves: I am the Lord.

29. “Do not profane your daughter by making her a prostitute, lest the land fall into prostitution and the land become full of depravity.

30. You shall keep my Sabbaths and reverence my sanctuary: I am the Lord.

31. “Do not turn to mediums or necromancers; do not seek them out, and so make yourselves unclean by them: I am the Lord your God.
