Vayikra 19:1-8 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

1. And Hashem spoke unto Moshe, saying,

2. Speak unto kol Adat Bnei Yisroel, and say unto them, Ye shall be kedoshim (holy ones): for I Hashem Eloheichem am kadosh.

3. Ye shall fear every man his em, and his av, and be shomer over My Shabbatot: I am Hashem Eloheichem.

4. Turn ye not unto elilim, nor make to yourselves elohei massekhah (cast metal g-ds); I am Hashem Eloheichem.

5. And if ye offer a zevach shelamim unto Hashem, ye shall offer it for your acceptance.

6. It shall be eaten the same day ye offer it, and on the next day; and what remains until the yom hashelishi, it shall be burned in the eish.

7. And if it be eaten at all on the yom hashelishi, it is piggul (unclean sacrificial flesh); it shall not be accepted.

8. Therefore every one that eateth it shall bear his avon, because he hath desecrated as chillul the set-apart- as-kodesh thing of Hashem: and that nefesh shall be cut off from among his people.
