1. The Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
2. “Speak to all the congregation of the children of Israel, and tell them, ‘You shall be holy; for I, the Lord your God, am holy.
3. “‘Each one of you shall respect his mother and his father. You shall keep my Sabbaths. I am the Lord your God.
4. “‘Don’t turn to idols, nor make molten gods for yourselves. I am the Lord your God.
5. “‘When you offer a sacrifice of peace offerings to the Lord, you shall offer it so that you may be accepted.
6. It shall be eaten the same day you offer it, and on the next day. If anything remains until the third day, it shall be burned with fire.
7. If it is eaten at all on the third day, it is an abomination. It will not be accepted;
8. but everyone who eats it shall bear his iniquity, because he has profaned the holy thing of the Lord, and that soul shall be cut off from his people.
9. “‘When you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not wholly reap the corners of your field, neither shall you gather the gleanings of your harvest.
