Leviticus 19:1-7 ▼

1 Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying:

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

3 Every one of you shall revere his mother and his father, and you shall keep My Sabbaths; I am the LORD your God.

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

5 ‘Now when you offer a sacrifice of peace offerings to the LORD, you shall offer it so that you may be accepted.

6 It shall be eaten on the same day you offer it, and on the next day; but what remains until the third day shall be burned with fire.

7 So if it is eaten at all on the third day, it is unclean; it will not be accepted.
