1. The Lord spoke to Moses,
2. “Tell the whole congregation of Israel: Be holy because I, the Lord your God, am holy.
3. “Respect your mother and father. Observe my days of worship. I am the Lord your God.
4. “Don’t turn to worthless gods or cast metal idols. Never make any gods for yourselves. I am the Lord your God.
5. “When you bring a fellowship offering to the Lord, sacrifice it ⌊properly⌋ so that you will be accepted.
6. Eat your sacrifice on the day you bring it and on the next day. On the third day burn whatever is left over.
7. If you eat any of it on the third day, it is repulsive and will not be accepted.
8. Those who eat it will be punished because they have dishonored what is holy to the Lord. They must be excluded from the people.
