Leviticus 19:1-7 ▼

1 The LORD spoke to Moses:

2 “Speak to the entire Israelite community and tell them: Be holy because I, the LORD your God, am holy.

3 “Each of you is to respect his mother and father. You are to keep my Sabbaths; I am the LORD your God.

4 Do not turn to worthless idols or make cast images of gods for yourselves; I am the LORD your God.

5 “When you offer a fellowship sacrifice to the LORD, sacrifice it so that you may be accepted.

6 It is to be eaten on the day you sacrifice it or on the next day, but what remains on the third day must be burned.

7 If any is eaten on the third day, it is a repulsive thing; it will not be accepted.
