Leviticus 19:1-12 ▼

1 AND the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

2 Speak to all the congregation of the children of Israel and say to them, You shall be holy; for I the LORD your God am holy.

3 You must revere every man his father and his mother, and keep my commandments; for I am the LORD your God.

4 You shall not turn to idols nor make to yourselves molten gods; I am the LORD your God.

5 And if you offer a sacrifice of peace offering to the LORD, you shall offer the ones which are acceptable.

6 It shall be eaten the same day you offer it and on the morrow; and what is left over until the third day, it shall be burned in the fire and shall not be eaten.

7 And if it is eaten at all on the third day, it is abominable; and it shall not be accepted.

8 Therefore every one who eats of it shall suffer for his iniquity, because he has profaned the hallowed thing of the LORD; and that person shall be cut off from among his people.

9 And when you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not reap your field to the very corners, neither shall you gather the gleanings of your harvest.

10 And you shall not glean your vineyards, neither shall you gather that which is fallen from your olive trees, but you shall leave them for the poor and the proselytes; for I am the LORD your God.

11 You shall not steal; you shall not deal falsely; neither shall you lie to one another.

12 You shall not swear by my name falsely and so profane the name of your God; I am the LORD.
