Leviticus 19:1-10 ▼

1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

2 Speak to the congregation of the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them, Ye shall be holy; for I the Lord your God am holy.

3 Let every one of you reverence his father and his mother; and ye shall keep my sabbaths: I am the Lord your God.

4 Ye shall not follow idols, and ye shall not make to yourselves molten gods: I am the Lord your God.

5 And if ye will sacrifice a peace-offering to the Lord, ye shall offer it acceptable from yourselves.

6 In what day soever ye shall sacrifice it, it shall be eaten; and on the following day, and if any of it should be left till the third day, it shall be thoroughly burnt with fire.

7 And if it should be at all eaten on the third day, it is unfit for sacrifice: it shall not be accepted.

8 And he that eats it shall bear his iniquity, because he has profaned the holy things of the Lord; and the souls that eat it shall be destroyed from among their people.

9 And when ye reap the harvest of your land, ye shall not complete the reaping of your field with exactness, and thou shalt not gather that which falls from thy reaping.

10 And thou shalt not go over the gathering of thy vineyard, neither shalt thou gather the remaining grapes of thy vineyard: thou shalt leave them for the poor and the stranger: I am the Lord your God.
