1. The Lord spoke to Moses:
2. “Speak to the entire Israelite community and tell them: Be holy because I, Yahweh your God, am holy.
3. “Each of you is to respect his mother and father. You are to keep My Sabbaths; I am Yahweh your God.
4. Do not turn to idols or make cast images of gods for yourselves; I am Yahweh 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 up.
7. If any is eaten on the third day, it is a repulsive thing; it will not be accepted.
