Yahweh Is Holy

19 Then[fn] Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 2 “Speak to all the community of the Israelites,[fn] and say to them, ‘You[fn] must be holy, because I, Yahweh your[fn] God,am holy. 3 Each of you must revere your mother[fn] and your father,[fn] and you[fn] must keep my Sabbaths; Iam Yahweh your[fn] God. 4 You[fn] must not turn to idols, and you[fn] must not make for yourselves gods of cast metal; Iam Yahweh your[fn] God.

5 “ ‘And when you[fn] sacrifice a sacrifice of fellowship offerings to Yahweh, you[fn] must sacrifice it for your[fn] acceptance. 6 It must be eaten on the day of your[fn] sacrifice and the next day; but[fn] the remainder must be burned up in the fire by the third day. 7 And if it is indeed eaten on the third day, it is unclean meat; it shall not be regarded as accepted. 8 And the one who eats it shall bear his guilt, because he has profaned Yahweh’s holiness, and that person shall be cut off from his people.
