1. The Lord spoke to Moses:
2. “Speak to the whole congregation of the Israelites and tell them, ‘You must be holy because I, the Lord your God, am holy.
3. Each of you must respect his mother and his father, and you must keep my Sabbaths. I am the Lord your God.
4. Do not turn to idols, and you must not make for yourselves gods of cast metal. I am the Lord your God.
5. “‘When you sacrifice a peace offering sacrifice to the Lord, you must sacrifice it so that it is accepted for you.
6. It must be eaten on the day of your sacrifice and on the following day, but what is left over until the third day must be burned up.
7. If, however, it is eaten on the third day, it is spoiled, it will not be accepted,
8. and the one who eats it will bear his punishment for iniquity because he has profaned what is holy to the Lord. That person will be cut off from his people.
9. “‘When you gather in the harvest of your land, you must not completely harvest the corner of your field, and you must not gather up the gleanings of your harvest.
