Leviticus 19:1-8 ▼

1 The LORD also said to Moses,

2 “Give the following instructions to the entire community of Israel. You must be holy because I, the LORD your God, am holy.

3 “Each of you must show great respect for your mother and father, and you must always observe my Sabbath days of rest. I am the LORD your God.

4 “Do not put your trust in idols or make metal images of gods for yourselves. I am the LORD your God.

5 “When you sacrifice a peace offering to the LORD, offer it properly so you will be accepted by God.

6 The sacrifice must be eaten on the same day you offer it or on the next day. Whatever is left over until the third day must be completely burned up.

7 If any of the sacrifice is eaten on the third day, it will be contaminated, and I will not accept it.

8 Anyone who eats it on the third day will be punished for defiling what is holy to the LORD and will be cut off from the community.
