The Lord Is Holy
1
The Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2
Speak to all the congregation of the people of Israel and say to them: You shall be holy, for I the Lord your God am holy.
3
You shall each revere your mother and father, and you shall keep my sabbaths: I am the Lord your God.
4
Do not turn to idols or make cast images for yourselves: I am the Lord your God.
5
When you offer a sacrifice of well-being to the Lord, offer it in such a way that it is acceptable in your behalf.
6
It shall be eaten on the same day you offer it, or on the next day; and anything left over until the third day shall be consumed in fire.
7
If it is eaten at all on the third day, it is an abomination; it will not be acceptable.
8
All who eat it shall be subject to punishment, because they have profaned what is holy to the Lord; and any such person shall be cut off from the people.
