¹ Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, ² "Speak to all the congregation of the children of Israel, and tell them, 'You shall be holy; for I Yahweh your God am holy.

³ "'Each one of you shall respect his mother and his father. You shall keep my Sabbaths. I am Yahweh your God. ⁴ "'Don't turn to idols, nor make molten gods for yourselves. I am Yahweh your God. ⁵ "'When you offer a sacrifice of peace offerings to Yahweh, you shall offer it so that you may be accepted. ⁶ It shall be eaten the same day you offer it, and on the next day: and if anything remains until the third day, it shall be burned with fire. ⁷ If it is eaten at all on the third day, it is an abomination. It will not be accepted; ⁸ but everyone who eats it shall bear his iniquity, because he has profaned the holy thing of Yahweh, and that soul shall be cut off from his people.
