Leviticus 19:1-11

¹The Lord told Moses,

²“Tell all the Israelites: You must be holy because I am holy; I am the Lord your God.

³Show respect for your mother and father, and keep my Sabbaths. I am the Lord your God.

⁴Don't turn to idols for help or make for metal images of gods. I am the Lord your God.

⁵When you sacrifice a peace offering to the Lord, make sure you do it correctly so God will accept you.

⁶It needs to be eaten the day you sacrifice it, or the next day. Whatever is left over on the third day must be burned.

⁷If you do eat some of it on the third day, the sacrifice becomes repulsive and won't be accepted.

⁸Anyone who eats it eats it will bear responsibility for their guilt, for they have made unclean what is holy to the Lord. They must be expelled from their people.

⁹When you harvest the crops grown on your land, don't harvest right up to the edges of your field, or collect what has been missed.

¹⁰Don't take every last grape from your vineyard or pick up the ones that have fallen. Leave them for the poor people and foreigners. I am the Lord your God.

¹¹Don't steal. Don't lie. Don't deceive each other.
