Leviticus 19:1-8 - Yahweh Is Holy

1 Jehovah spoke to Moses: 2 Tell the entire congregation of Israel: 'Be holy because I, Jehovah your God, am holy.

3 Respect your mother and father. Observe my days of worship. I am Jehovah your God! 4 Do not turn to worthless gods or cast metal idols. Never make any gods for yourselves. I am Jehovah your God. 5 When you bring a peace offering to Jehovah, sacrifice it properly so that you will be accepted. 6 Eat your sacrifice on the day you bring it and on the next day. On the third day burn whatever is left over. 7 If you eat any of it on the third day, it is repulsive and will not be accepted. 8 Those who eat it will be punished because they have dishonored what is holy to Jehovah. They must be excluded from the people.
