Context of Leviticus 19:10

8If he eats the meat on the third day he makes unclean a gift that is holy to the Lord. You must send him away from the camp. 9When a person cuts the plants in his field, he must not cut to the edge of the field. He must not pick up what he drops. If a person grows fruit to make wine, he must not pick all the fruit. He must not pick up the fruit that drops. The fruit that drops is for the poor people. And it is for those who are foreign. I am the Lord your God. 11You must not take something that belongs to another person. You must not say something that is not true. You must obey my rules. 12You must not use the name of your God to say a promise. This will make my name unclean. I am the Lord.
