3-4. Respect your father and your mother, honour the Sabbath, and don't make idols or images. I am the Lord your God.

5. When you offer a sacrifice to ask my blessing, be sure to follow my instructions.

6. You may eat the meat either on the day of the sacrifice or on the next day, but you must burn anything left until the third day.

7. If you eat any of it on the third day, the sacrifice will be disgusting to me, and I will reject it.

8. In fact, you will be punished for not respecting what I say is holy, and you will no longer belong to the community of Israel.
