1. The Lord said to Moses,
2. “Speak to the entire assembly of Israel and say to them: ‘Be holy because I, the Lord your God, am holy.
3. “ ‘Each of you must respect your mother and father, and you must observe my Sabbaths. I am the Lord your God.
4. “ ‘Do not turn to idols or make metal gods for yourselves. I am the Lord your God.
5. “ ‘When you sacrifice a fellowship offering to the Lord, sacrifice it in such a way that it will be accepted on your behalf.
6. It shall be eaten on the day you sacrifice it or on the next day; anything left over until the third day must be burned up.
