Leviticus 19:1-8 ▼

1 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,

2 “Speak to all the congregation of the sons of Israel, and you have said to them: You are holy, because I, your God YHWH, [am] holy.

3 You each fear his mother and his father, and you keep My Sabbaths; I [am] your God YHWH.

4 You do not turn to the idols, and you do not make a molten god for yourselves; I [am] your God YHWH.

5 And when you sacrifice a sacrifice of peace-offerings to YHWH, you sacrifice it at your pleasure;

6 it is eaten in the day of your sacrificing [it], and on the next day, and that which is left to the third day is burned with fire,

7 and if it is really eaten on the third day, it [is] an abomination, it is not pleasing,

8 and he who is eating it bears his iniquity, for he has defiled the holy thing of YHWH, and that person has been cut off from his people.
