Leviticus 19:1-8

1The Lord spoke to Moses:

2“Speak to the whole congregation of the Israelites and tell them, ‘You must be holy because I, the Lord your God, am holy.

3Each of you must respect his mother and his father, and you must keep my Sabbaths. I am the Lord your God.

4Do not turn to idols, and you must not make for yourselves gods of cast metal. I am the Lord your God.

5“‘When you sacrifice a peace offering sacrifice to the Lord, you must sacrifice it so that it is accepted for you.

6It must be eaten on the day of your sacrifice and on the following day, but what is left over until the third day must be burned up.

7If, however, it is eaten on the third day, it is spoiled, it will not be accepted,

8and the one who eats it will bear his punishment for iniquity because he has profaned what is holy to the Lord. That person will be cut off from his people.
