Leviticus 19:1-8 ▼

1 Then Yahweh 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, Yahweh your God, am holy.

3 Every one of you shall fear his mother and his father, and you shall keep My sabbaths; I am Yahweh your God.

4 Do not turn to idols or make for yourselves molten gods; I am Yahweh your God.

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

6 It shall be eaten the same day you offer it and 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 an offense; it will not be accepted.

8 And everyone who eats it will bear his iniquity, for he has profaned the holy thing of Yahweh; and that person shall be cut off from his people.
