Good News Bible

Leviticus 19:5-10 Good News Bible (GNB)

5. “When you kill an animal for a fellowship offering, keep the regulations that I have given you, and I will accept the offering.

6. The meat must be eaten on the day the animal is killed or on the next day. Any meat left on the third day must be burnt,

7. because it is ritually unclean, and if anyone eats it, I will not accept the offering.

8. Anyone who eats it will be guilty of treating as ordinary what is dedicated to me, and he will no longer be considered one of my people.

9. “When you harvest your fields, do not cut the corn at the edges of the fields, and do not go back to cut the ears of corn that were left.

10. Do not go back through your vineyard to gather the grapes that were missed or to pick up the grapes that have fallen; leave them for poor people and foreigners. I am the Lord your God.
