Leviticus 19:1-7 ▼

1 The LORD said to Moses:

2 Speak to the whole Israelite community and tell them: Be holy, for I, the LORD your God, am holy.

3 Each of you revere your mother and father, and keep my sabbaths. I, the LORD, am your God.

4 Do not turn aside to idols, nor make molten gods for yourselves. I, the LORD, am your God.

5 When you sacrifice your communion sacrifice to the LORD, you shall sacrifice it so that it is acceptable on your behalf.

6 It must be eaten on the day of your sacrifice or on the following day. Whatever is left over until the third day shall be burned in fire.

7 If any of it is eaten on the third day, it will be a desecrated offering and not be accepted;
